Morning those buds look good. Any plant if given a proper flush before harvest should get the faded leaves, it's a good sign that shes finishing. I see you mention organic growing and the yellowed bottom leaves is usually a sign that nitrogen is too low. Theres blood meal which is good, either a bagged version or most garden stores will sell that, as well as chicken manure is very high nitrogen, or alfalfa meal, but these should be tilled in to soil as they can attract animals. A good compost tea or kelp extract are always a great option too and can even be used for foliar feeding. Great job getting the buds to this stage. Happy growing.

High there! :) It's normal for leaves to go pale/yellow in LATE flower (i.e. last 2 weeks before harvest), but if your plants are not there yet, it's likely a nitrogen deficiency. Don't be afraid to supplement nitrogen in flower as long as you give some P & K along with it. A basic, cheap NPK fertilizer should do the trick. I had rapid chlorosis (yellowing) in Week 7 & was able to reverse it by applying a fertilizer called Tomato-Tone, which contains a 4-7-10 ratio of NPK. In the future, you can prevent this problem by continuing to feed a vegetative fertilizer all the way through the preflowering phase to ensure she has enough nitrogen to last until harvest.

It looks like your plants are in fade. It’s natural for the leaf colors to change. When are are they due to harvest?

Textbook N def early flower. did you ever PH the feed in or out? From the most recent pics looks like you fed too little N throught her life. You’re still safe feeding N all the way to mid flower In this situation. I’ve experienced this myself, you can sit back and let it get worse by adding more bloom nutrients or you can fix it by adding more growth. Unless your nutrients are premixed in the soil and buffered you should still PH the solution ever so slightly...

It looks like it’s a nitrogen dificiency. Increase you nitrogen levels slightly and you should notice the problem turn around. Make sure to not stop the grow nutrients right away, you want to dial it back each week. Good luck!

Hi @Jayler! Purple stems + brown spots + pale green + curly leaves = this looks like a Phosphorus deficiency to me. This may come from a wrong pH, do yo check the pH levels of your waterings/feedings? Over-watering could also be responsible for this lockout, your diary gives no info about your waterings, but your soil needs to be on a dry/wet cycle. Make sure you did not over-water her, otherwise you'll have to let the soil dry for a few days. Hope this helps, keep us up-to-date and happy growing!

During the beginning stages of flowering phase, the plant undergoes explosive growth (stretch / pre-flower stage) and needs mostly growth nutrients (nitrogen mostly), you cut off the grow nute early, while you should have waited for the stretch to end before stopping. That been said, a light green foliage is much healthier than dark green leaves, which indicates nitrogen toxicity. Give just a bit of the growth nute you were using, but not so much that the foliage turns dark green.
