Notr sure if this is lock out or a Nitrogen deficiency. Thought is was just normal lifecycle but moved past fan leaves.

What should I do?

Please Help

You could pull off the yellow fans if you want.

Thanks. I know that the leaves yellow and die off but it threw me when it happened in the course of a single week.

Well its at 6 weeks and is a 7-9 week strain. So considering its just about to be harvested its all normal and all good.

I wouldnt pull those yellow leaves off until they go full yellow and have no green. They should practically fall off just by touching them. If they dont come off with a light pull then leave them be.

Thanks JimmyCricket. This cherry grow is a nerve wracker

There are different schools of thought on the leaves. Some people say removing them earlier will promote more of the plants energy into the buds. Others suggest that leaving them on is better to encourage photosynthesis. I go for the happy medium myself!

Thanks everyone. Is it normal for the cappellate leaves coming out of the bud to start yellowing also?
