Week 9 auto discoloration

This is called senescence. The plant is dying, but in a good way, at the right time - due to old age. It entered reproduction mode and bloomed some beautiful flowers in an attempt to reproduce before the end of the season and it perishes. This yellowing, and also with some other beautiful harvest colors, is perfectly normal. Once you get the hang of how the plant will look, and start to notice her flowering, you can even trim off leaves or entire branches, in an effort to put more energy into flower production. A lot of fan leaves are not needed with a human watching over the plant once it enters the reproductive stage. They photosynthesize and store energy for the plant, but are also a consumer of energy themselves. If a leaf or branch is hidden and not receiving enough light, it is not producing enough energy to warrant keeping. You can experiment with selectively lopping off foliage next time right as she begins flowering, and perhaps even more, in order to encourage her where to focus her energy. Enjoy 😁
