So here are the photos.
Sympthoms: between waterings the plant sort of pulls it's branches down, looks like underwatering to me but I water it until drain off once in 2 days so it's wierd.
pH of feed is about 6.8 all the time.
Soil is a mix of canna bio terra plus, perlite, warm castings, bat guano.
The plant still has about 3 weeks to go but if I keep removing all the yellow leaves it's gonna be "naked" in a week or so.
Please help, what's wrong with it?
The plant is Dutch Passion Power Plant. It's neighbor is DP Auto X in pure Canna bio terra plus mix and it feels and looks just fine :help::bow:

Yellowing of leaves is normal in late flowering. In fact the best way to guage the tricombs is by the yellowing of the leaves. The yellowing of leaves is in direct corelation to tricomb color.
Your pretty girls is going to loose them as she go alongs. Don't cut them let them fall off natually.

Nice bud. :tiphat:

Nothing to worry about. She's just fine.
 
Good to know, thanks!
What about the green leaves, why are they all having that shape?

Those leaves curling under are a sign of N toxicity. What are you feeding and how much? The yellowing leaves are normal, like BayLee said, but the rest isn't.
 
Another sure fire way is to get a 60x to 100x microscope and check the trichomes yourself. In my opinion it is the best way to know EXACTLY how far along your plant is. Try checking buds at top, center, and bottom for even more accuracy, as trichs will take longer to mature as you get towards the bottom.
 
The trick with Autos' tricombs is that they don't necessarily turn to amber.

Check out Muddy's AFN thread on the "Life Cycle of Autoflowering Cannabis". There is a good section on tricombs/yellowing leaves.

a420er and other moderators are good at cannabis issues. I'm just an average grower; that's all. :smokeit:
 
Well I my self have only grown 6 autos...so im no pro but they all had amber trichs. I've actually never heard of autos having an exception to trich coloring, though again I'm no pro :)

A good read indeed, I'm familiar with muddy and his wisdom. He is well known and respected around this forum, and has even lent a hand to me on my speed devil #2 grow. So I would never want to take away from that. That being said I just believe the trichs are a more accurate reading of THC degradation.
 
Which makes sense because he mentions the yellowing of the leaves being correlated with trich change.
