  1. its almost time for me to harvest my plants

    all my leaves are turning yellow all of a sudden

    they went from dark green, to light green, to yellow.

    i'll post pics once my batteries are done charging.

    but also, i read this from the overgrow faq. "consumption of nitrogen (N) from the fan leaves during the final phase of flowing is 100% normal"

  2. At the end of flowering, that is perfectly normal.

    Although you look like you still have some time left just by judging the hairs. Any idea on how ur trichs look?
     
  3. Well, yes, the 2 last weeks of flower, you gotta flush them by giving them only pure water. If you've been doing this, the leaves will get pale and yellow. This is good.

    However, by the look of your plants, I'd say something else is going on. From the shrivel, I'd say too much heat, but it's hard to tell. Normaly, flushing plants go yellow starting from bottmo to top, and the leaves don't get damaged that bad.
     
  4. Looks like a serious case of Phospor deficiency.
    Assuming that you have put in proper and proper amounts of nutes,

    I think you have cut off too many leaves!

    During my last grow http://forum.grasscity.com/showthread.php?t=91096
    you can clearly see nutes, in my case Nitrogen, being sucked out of the existing leaves.
    What do you think would have happend if those leaves did not exist anymore?

    Leaves are not only powerplants/solarpanels they are aso nute-reserves.
    I think you should try to keep some on your plants next time.
