Nutrient imbalance or healthy development?

Plant_Scientist
Plant_Scientiststarted grow question 3 years ago
Are the colors of the leaves a sign of healthy development in the flowering stage, or a sign of nutrient deficiency/excess? After struggling a lot with the nutrition of this plant, I am not sure anymore whether I'm doing it right. Some of the leaves become yellow and fall off.

Looks like a combination of phosphorus deficiency, end of life with a bid of nitrogen deficiency and cold nights. Starting with phosphorus. Your 3rd picture of week 19 you can see the serrated edges curing up on the leaves. This is the first sign of a lack of phosphorus ( also a first sign of high heat or low humidity but your heat is normal and humidity is high so you can rule that out). The next sign is leaves start to go purple ( this is also genetics and will happen based on pigmentation and not a deficiency with some strains when they hit end of life or low night temperatures.). The spots and purple leaves going brown is the next phase. Nitrogen deficiency- this is seen with the bottom leaves going yellow/red( strain pigmentation I mentioned above ). Nitrogen is mobile so the plant will take the nitrogen from the lower less productive leaves as it needs it. This is normal for end of life and actually a good sign you did not over feed her. To much can cause a harsh smoke and bad taste or take longer to cure the bud after it has dried. As for what you can do I would say keep her happy with water until harvest. With your location you only have so long before it gets to cold. She can handle a short frost but Its best to harvest before that.

It could have been a lack of nitrogen before you went into bloom.

Ola irmão tudo bem ? A meu ver pode ser um problema de nitrogénio, mas se estas a dar então podes ter um bloqueio de nutrientes. Eu ja tive esse problema. e pelo que me parece esta acelerado certo? Devia fazer um flush a essa planta o quanto antes, e depois regar com ph regulado. Ja agora a planta esta a ficar muito bonita, abraço e tudo a correr bem
