Hi.
This is my first plant. I am growing an Autoflower and am at 7 weeks 4 days.
The plant is in a VGrow box. Soil is Happy Frog.
Upper leaves are turning yellowish and I am seeing brown start to show up.
Water levels appear to be fine. PH is about 6.4. I am thinking it may be light.

Is this normal near to end of flowering?

Welcome to 420mag looks like you got a while to go yet in flower. And I think the damage looks worse as you get closer to the light so you could be right your leaves are twisting too to get away from it.

Welcome to 420magazine my friend
Looks like a possible combination of light stress and lack of nutrients.
What are you feeding that beautiful lady?

I am using General Hydroponics flora-Micro/Grow/Bloom and Calimagic.
I relied on the nutes that were in the Happy Frog soil. I used this soil for indoor vegetables with great success.

Welcome to 420 Magazine @jsprinceiii

Those boxes can be a learning experience with as small as they are. Yeas you are correct in saying it is to close to the light. Those stem look like they are not long pliable where you can been them. If so, you will need to pull they top bud away from the light. How close is the cola to the light?

How often do you feel you plant?

The cola is about 4 inches from the light. I did not expect it to grow as much as it did.
Was able to bend it another inch today.

The is the first Cannabis plant. I do grow vegetables indoors.

Just curious are you following the recommended dosages on the bottle?
Or are you giving less then recommended by the schedule?

The interesting thing is that it looks like the change in the colors of the remaining leaves and the buds is a line going across from one side to the other.

Maybe there is a layer of hotter air above that line while below it the plant is pretty much growing as normal because the air is cooler.

Have you checked the temperature in the upper canopy area and in the lower portion? The temperature check would have to be done at the same time so two thermometers would be needed.

I placed a couple zwave sensors in the box. Temperature is pretty stable top to bottom, within 1 degree.

I have been doing about half the recommended dosage. 2 recent soil samples show a slight nitrogen deficiency.
PH is 6.3, phosphorus, and potassium levels look ok. I did just increase the nitrogen levels a bit and will check
in a couple days.

Right now, I am really thinking it is light related. I was able to gain almost another 2 inches at the top.
Will continue to monitor.
Thanks

Hopefully the extra food helps where is your water source from bud?

Start there, increase your feed to the recommended dose.
Hard to give a girl a full meal on half a portion.
I'm sure it'll help potency aswell as color.

Updates.
I increased the nutrients. Couple weeks later.
I am now at about 72 days and think I will begin to harvest this weekend.
Thanks for the earlier feedback!

If you have the ability to wait 1 more week possibly 2 ,I think you would benefit from it.
I agree she is in the harvest window yet still flowering I believe.
Is she draining her pot still? if so she is still flowering and building for you.
I see pistils that still need to crinkle in and turn red before flowering is finished aswell.
Just 2 cents.
She is absolutely freeken Beautiful
Good work my friend.

Hi Bill.
She is still consuming water. I can certainly wait.
Thanks!

When she has finished flowering she will stop eating.
You can tell by the weight of the pot.
If it's still draining the pot she is still building size/ terps & thc.
Let her finish if you have the time.
