Plant is finishing up soon, but leaf problem?

[Misanthrope82]

Hi guys. I have an outdoor Trans Siberian autoflower here. My plant is nearing the end but I'm noticing some strange leaf blemishes.

The breeder says this plant will take 60 - 70 days. My plant is 77 days old today. I began flushing around day 65.

My question is: are these blemishes the result of cutting nutrients too soon? Or is this your typical case of rust? Also, is this gonna prevent the buds from fattening up and finishing properly?

Pictures included. Thanks in advance for your input.

60-70 days are breeders numbers in my experiance 80-90 days is more common to be completely finished and Iv had alot of satty dom's go 120 days, that dose loo like a deficiancy as I'm not seing a general over all yellowing you get when there on there way out. hope this helps.

I thought the same, Goauto6. I'm wondering though is it really that big a deal this late into it's life cycle? Despite the blemishes, the leaves ARE starting to lighten up in color.

Thanks

No I personally would not worry unless every day it gets worse and worse.... as far as the spots?

 

[Misanthrope82]

Yes. In other words, if I started flushing too soon, was that a serious error on my part? Obviously it's too late to start feeding it again. Should it finish up properly?

thems bugs my friend, I don't know what but my guess is thrips or spider mites. I don't see any webbing so my guess is thrips. Little fuggers are hard to spot

I thought that was a possibility as well. Honestly I would rather it be bugs than a deficiency. I guess I'll use some azamax tomorrow.

Be careful cause you are in flower and anything you use to kill em make sure you wash off really good. Like when you harvest soak them in water. there are some threads on it here somewhere. But from what I can tell you soak them in water for a period of time then let them dry, this will also drown any aphids or thrips or spidermites it also makes for a more uniform dry throughout the all the buds

-- the spots are looking like Ca defc., with that pattern and color (Derek, thrips don't make such consistently circular spots, or turn that rust-tan color).... I see some chewed edges/hole from some vermin, maybe earwigs or caterpillars-- time for a close inspection mate! I grow OD's too, and no plant is free of some bug's interests and appetite! The buds look far from ready too, but we need closer shot to assess better,...She mighty green still too,... I say use some Ca-Mg, and what bloom nutes do you use? Might need a round or two more, but let's see what the close-ups show,..

Lol I see the rust color now and from what I remember I thought that was the tell tale signs of thrippys but then again I haven't grown OD's in a LONG time and the only exposure to bugs I get anymore is on here lookin at pics lol @Misanthrope82 listen to @Waira and your plant will make it!
