Thread: help with plants 8 weeks into flower

can anyone tell me whats happening to my 2 northen lights auto flowers. in the last week alot of the smaller leaves have started to die off.

So I had a look and found this for you:
It is the closest thing I could find to your plant issue from the photo... What do you think ? You don't have any fan leaves left so it's hard to tell really. Did they go something like this ? :"Fan leaves are dark green or red/purple, and may turn yellow. Leaves may curl under, go brown and die".

Phosphorus (P) deficiency:
Figure 11 is severe phosphorus (P) deficiency during flowering. Fan leaves are dark green or red/purple, and may turn yellow. Leaves may curl under, go brown and die. Small-formed buds are another main symptom.
Phosphorus deficiencies exhibit slow growing, weak and stunted plants with dark green or purple pigmentation in older leaves and stems.
Some deficiency during flowering is normal, but too much shouldn't be tolerated. Red petioles and stems are a normal, genetic characteristic for many varieties, plus it can also be a co-symptom of N, K, and Mg-deficiencies, so red stems are not a foolproof sign of P-deficiency. Too much P can lead to iron deficiency.
Purpling: accumulation of anthocyanin pigments; causes an overall dark green colour with a purple, red, or blue tint, and is the common sign of phosphate deficiency. Some plant species and varieties respond to phosphate deficiency by yellowing instead of purpling. Purpling is natural to some healthy ornamentals.

ya it would look something like what is happening. i've found some pic's in this thread with are very like it. plant problems ( with pic`s). i thought it might be some type of nutes burn as it turns out he's been givin nutes with every watering.

They might be overferted but 8 weeks into flower means they're are finished. but now you need to just give water and probably flush too, as there has to be a buildup in the plant. these plants die naturally when the time is right. that's really what's going on.
