Outdoor 3xMazar & 3xSweetSkunk Balcony

Greetings to all and a call for HELP, unexpected up, because I might have a problem. Today I've noticed one of my ladie's (the oldest Sweet skunk's - 64 days old) leaves went somehow odd:
The first guess is a lack of N or P but I doubt it, yesterday she got her fix of fertilizer (NPK 5-10-5) in a usual concentration.
Second guess would be some kind of a mold disease, something like a tomatoe can get when it rains too much. There is some cure I can get here which is usually used in the case of tomatoes, but I'm afraid it's a chemical crap and I don't want to spoil the nice buds she has. On the other hand I'm afraid the disease might spread which wouldn't be a nice thing too. Just cut the leaf off? Spray just the leaf with the chem?
Or am I just panicking and this is a normal dying off the leaves when the plant is getting to her last phase? I don't think so, the brown spot (a little bit hidden in the shadow) makes me more nervous than the yellow colour.
Any help appreciated guys, thanks in advance.
P.S.: The upper leaves are just dusty because of work going on on my balcony, I spray them with clean water every eve to clean'em a bit, but it just go off too slowly. Or can this be a cause?

Hi everybody,
I’m back with this weekend’s up. The weather is getting better and so are the ladies. Guinea pig is dropping her leaves slowly, looks like previous post was just the first one dying off. You can see another one there going yellow. Seems to be just the age, if I’m not mistaken. However I think she has a week or two to go, most of the pistils are still white. I’m still feeding her, flush time far ahead. Mazar gals are still growing, I’m beginning to worry about their final height. So far they reached about 40 cm and I hope they’ll stop soon not to make me bend their colas so they don’t overgrow the fence. I think 70 (plus the pots) should be ok (fence is about 100). Only a few pistils showing at the roots of branches (not sure about English here, meaning the place… you know
.
And btw. yesterday eve I've soaked another bean of Sweet skunk and I've put her in this morning, you can see the pot she's in behind the Guinea pig. I'm leaving her in the most shady part of my balcony so far so she won't get burned by sun in the early stage, planning also to use some PET greenhouse to protect her.
Here come the pics:
Mazars, 50 and 44 days, the older one on the left is a beautiful bush, the younger is a bit stretched (they’re usually in a different place, I was working there, so you can see some gardening going on there):
And a couple of Guinea pig, 69 days old:
The buds seem to be quite full of leaves, so I have another question: Should I cut the leaves off so the flowers get more sun or should I let it be?

Unfortunately, I have some bad news, even if expected a bit. When I came home from work for lunch today, the skunk reeked to high heaven all over the place (even a stranger who evidently knew about the plant a thing or two passing my house asked me about growing canna - he most probably wanted a whiff 
) - maybe it was because of weather: very hot, sunny and a thick air too. I had to chop her down, no flush, no waiting for maturity, a bit brown but I can tell she wasn't ready, even if I've got not much experience in this, only a few big leaves were yellow and about 50-70 % brown pistils (day 72, ideally she could have at least 2 weeks more). As u can expect, no harvest fotos, she's in the brown bags, expecting no more than about 5-10g from her. You were right, mama... I've bought some Jasmine last week, but it will take time before it starts to smell too, so there'll be no more skunk growing on my balcony, next one will go guerilla some place in the forests. I'm preparing the plan B for Mazars, most probably move them to some of my friends garden which will be in a less frequent place or guerilla too. Guerilla, however, is the last option because it will be hard to move them outside a car - they are about half meter tall already... so far they don't stink but I'm afraid they will after they start to bloom. I have too be quick, they're already showing some first pistils and my wife is not very pleased with my new hobby right now 
I'll be terribly sorry (before being safe) to have to chop'em down early. Still I'm thinking about one more try with some less smelly strain like Northern Lights from Pyramid seeds (should be least smelly or so I've heard). Just one plant to see what she will do, that is, if I can convince my second half... Hope to see you again, ladies 
P.S.: Btw, If anybody has a tip for low odour strains, feel free to help me if you wish, thanks to everybody.

Hello Solomon,
sorry to to hear you had to chop your plants down in a hurry. I hope you will be able to wait for your AutoMazars to mature before chopping them down. In any event, my advice is to plant the honeysuckle as well now and by the time you try again perhaps next season, everyone will be used to the fragrance of the flowers coming from your property and the cannabis won't be so noticeable. I have no experience with low smell strains, but I am sure that there are people on here that could point you in the right direction.
hope your harvested skunk is smokable; good luck with everything.

smokable? I'll smoke my dad's socks right now to calm me a bit We'll see after she'll get a bit dry and cured, but the chicken shit I've given her two days before chopping doesn't make me happy. I've smoked a quickly dried bud just to see if it has at least an effect and it tasted like shit, no wonder, but made me a little high. Next season, I'll try for sure (some low odour strain) and I'm going to plant the rest for this one guerilla style, even if I don't believe in great success. Saving my Mazars right now...

Don't apologise, for a non native speaker your English is fine :thumbs:
Don't smoke your dad's socks
Save your AutoMazars and come home and have a large brandy. Stay calm, no one else knows what you are doing, so the agitation is all in your mind.
Breathe in breathe out

don't worry so much about the mazars they wont smell as bad dont let your nose get the better of you. keep a stiff upper lip as they say
Yeah a buzz kill definitely, but my wife's upper lip is trembling, I wouldn't care so much even if my neighbors knew... But the junkie bum 
yesterday really made me a bit nervous. Great lesson in English here :clap:
Thanks all you guys (and ladies) for kind advices and encouragement but the Mazars are going to my friend's yard the day after tomorrow where they'll be safer even if they'll have less attention they would get on my balcony. My wife claims she can smell them coming home from far (let's say 15 meters), even if I don't, I can smell them from let's say 3 m, but I'm a heavy tobacco smoker and I usually can't smell shit - but she won't let me keep them home - you know them chicks - sorry banana. I simply can't imagine what she'll say after the bush gets some weight on. Right now she (Mazar, not my wife, of course ) is still only showing a few gal's things... She'll be a woman soon... and then?
I'll switch to guerilla this year and I'll prepare better for the next season, following the kind advice with other fragrant plants. I'll see if they can survive a winter here in the pots, I don't want to buy new ones for every season and they wouldn't serve the purpose well as new ones too.
I have 3 more beans: 2SwS, one already peeking out the soil, the other one and one more Mazar still in my desk. I hope nothing eats them or nobody steals them out in the woods which will be the biggest worry in my area. I'll have to plant them on different spots most probably to minimize the risk. I'll keep you up to date.
Any suggestions for the low odour strains for the next year? I did some research (too late, but I did) and things people say are quite contradicting each other. Some people say a strain A doesn't smell at all, some say the same strain A reeks (even about Mazar I've heard both opinions). It most probably has also something to do with weather (heat and sun make them smell more, so I've noticed) and nutes. Any strategy some experienced balcony grower developed? I know most of you grow indoors with the carbon filters and what not, but there must be a trick or two to learn, not just idioms
Have a nice grow and keep your fingers crossed for me.
