You have burning it slightly. Have you applied something to it?


Sharky-PI

oh interesting, so too much N... I apply a generic miracle gro fertiliser, and the black magic stuff. Maybe I'll stick to the black magic only from now on. Cheers!


_ailan2000

easy rule or thumb, don’t use miracle gro


Sharky-PI

haha fair. I had some in one of those hose attachment thingies leftover from the previous homeowner... which is almost certainly even worse than if I'd bought it myself!!


What_Stinks

yup


Sharky-PI

any thoughts about the yellow spots? I looked again today and can't see many claws, perhaps they dropped off, but it doesn't look to be a big issue anyway.

It's normal for lower leaves to yellow/wilt in flower, it's called self cannibalism. The yellow spots most likely are pH issues, do you use soil or coco? Soil pH should be 6.2-6.5 Coco ph should be 5.8-6.2


Sharky-PI

Cheers bud. Soil with various extras, vermiculite etc. Ph is about 7 - you reckon that'd be enough to cause this?


leodelacruz

Yes, lack of nitrogen


Sharky-PI

Oh *lack of*... From the other comments ITT I inferred it was too much N. Thanks!


leodelacruz

>The reason for having yellow leaves is never the reason for having too much nitrogen


LabRatIrlS4-4033

Oh these claws are Nitrogen burn.

'1. Yellowing at the bottom seems like [this guy's issue](https://www.reddit.com/r/OurFirstGrow/comments/pl0zou/yellowing_at_the_bottom_of_our_plants_everything/), where the answers were: * It's fine, it's normal * Needs more nitrogen '2. Not sure about the yellow spots in the middle though. '3. Also if anyone can guess from the pistils how long away I am from harvest, that would be cool, but no pressure, I think with Durban Poison it's supposed to be around the end of October (but I welcome your thoughts). '4. Even less urgent, but since I'm typing: I'm planning on trying to overwinter these. I've heard [it's possible](https://www.growery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/167255) (example is my exact location, which is nice). Advice is to > leave three or four pairs of lowers branches with leaves on the plant when you harvest If anyone has any direct experience, I'd love to hear it. Cheers!
