Autoflower Week 9: Burn or finishing?

[Sctanley007]

Disclaimer: My first time with an auto...

The is a NL auto from CKS. Today she’s at 9 weeks 2 days. I get that at this point if it is burn I’ll still harvest. This question is for my future reference.

My feeding has been
2 Tbsp Big Bloom
1/2 Tiger Bloom
1/2 Kelp
2 ml each CM & Silica

The two prior feedings included 1/8 tsp Beastie Bloomz then this last feeding I added 1/8 tsp Cha Ching.

Is the yellowing and discoloration of the leaves just the plant finishing or is it burn from either the Beastie or Cha Ching? I will note that the burn didn’t appear until after the Cha Ching.

I do notice the downward clawing of some of the leaves as well.

In writing this and going through things in my head it culprit may be that the plant was very dry and wilted last night. Totally misjudged the weight of the pot earlier and the plant was fine so it was wilted maybe 3 hours. So with that being said perhaps stress but the leaf discoloration was there last night.

Any ideas or is she just finishing?

I see P deficiency in late flower. Which is normal. She is cannibalizing her leaves to feed the buds, using up her stored food. Very little tip burn on bud leaves.

It is ok to let seedlings and vegging plants wilt a bit. In flower,especially if there are a lot of nutes in the soil not such a good idea. You still need to be careful of overwatering, you just don't want them dry as a bone. Your soil can become hydrophobic causing problems in your rhizosphere.

How close to harvest are you? Have you scoped the trichs yet?

Thanks for the reply Virgin. I never let the plants get too dry in flower and I kick myself for this stupid mistake. I relied on memory instead of my journal as to days since last watering and screwed up

CKS says its a 10 week run seed to harvest. Im at 9 weeks 2 days.

Here's a few pics of the tri's I just took, not the greatest ;quality but ironically I'm having such severe back pain I cant bend enough to take a decent picture. Something this plant will help me do.
