New Grower First time grow

[Ctbear]

I imagine the plant has grown and shaded out the lower leaves which is why they are turning yellow. Maybe try to open the plant up by tying some branches down so that it looks like a star from above. Let some light into the interior and the smaller buds in the cleft of the branches and trunk will be able to grow.
look at this link:

Thanks for the advice and link! She's got a lot of interior buds and I've got some side lights on her to get light to them.

Here's a grow update. I took some measurements today. She's 22 inches tall and 16 inches wide. I'm alternating water with feeding (mix of Buddha grow and Buddha bloom). She's really soaking both up. The nutrient mix is half what is on the Buudha bloom bottle since I don't want to risk burning her. I've added a second side grow light to get more to the lower and interior buds. I do LST on the bigger fan leaves that cover the flowers by gently tucking them under. And here's a couple of pics from this afternoon.

Another update. She's doing well. I measured her at 29 inches high and 18 inches wide. Her buds are getting bigger and there are a lot of them. The bud leaves are just starting to get some frosting on them. I moved to a diluted Buddha Bloom feeding every third day. Here are a few pics I snapped this morning.

Another update. This is week 9 since she sprouted. I trimmed some of the large fan leaves on the bottom that were turning yellow. She's being fed half-strength Buddha Bloom on every other watering. There are lots of buds, and I rotate her a quarter turn every watering to make sure all sides are getting a balanced light exposure. The first pistils are starting to turn amber. I'm getting a scope or magnifying glass to check out the Trichromes. I would guess she is a couple of weeks from harvest, but I will use the color of the pistils and trichromes as the final judge. I'm looking for a body stone for those Friday and Saturday evening buzzes, so more Amber than milky. I plan on giving her plain water and then cut her off from water to start the drying process a few days before harvest.

I've attached a few pics. One is a close up of one of the buds.

Thoughts and comments are welcomed

These are exciting times when all the love you have given is really showing. She looks in great health for her final spurt over the next weeks.
Peace

Another update. Her leaves are starting to turn, the large lower fan leaves especially. Pistils are turning too, I'd estimate about 10% so far, but there are more each day. Under a 10X magnifying glass, the trichromes look milky and there is no Amber yet. Her buds are sticky and my fingers have a lovely has aroma after touching them or the leave. Putting all this together, I plan on harvesting next weekend if things continue as they are. With that in mind, I've switched to water and will be stopping that later this week. Thoughts, comments, and suggestions always welcome!

Have you sampled some? I'm at the same place as you in my grow (sprouted April 6). I'm waiting another two weeks. On two of my plants just about all the big fan leaves have dropped off. My trichs on those are still mainly clear under 25X magnification.
The three others still have some fan leaves and the trichs are about 95% clear.
I've been flushing for 10 days now.
