    Hello Hipsters, im a newbie and a first time horticulturist and i have a pressing need for some seasoned help with my crop.

    i have 8 large Purple haze and 28 purple kush going into 30 days of flowering now and the buds are still really small especially at the bottom, the tops on most look really resiny and small buds which i assume will still grow bigger, i'm using 2 1000 watt bulbs also im feeding them with big bud and a host of other nutrients my local hydro store recommended but the real problem is that today i noticed that one plant in particular was looking really old and the leaves from top to bottom are really dry and are about to all fall off, this is the only one like that so i was wondering what the causes may be and what i could do to save the plant?

    i'm really resisting the urge to harvest them now but i know it's been a while in the flowering stage as is so any help would be greatly appreciated.

    thank you

    OK, not bad at all for the first time out.
    The yellow tint from the HPS makes it a little harder to give a real good opinion, but again, definitely not bad. Not exactly centerfold material, but who is. You're a better grower than photographer, there's no perspective like a ruler or a coin to tell how big the buds are.
    Losing one out of 36 is a great average, I mean shit happens. plants and people die all the time for no apparent reason, you're batting over 900.

    During the flowering stage, its not uncommon for the fan leaves to turn yellow, dry up, and even fall off. The plant is putting all its energy towards filling out the buds.

    ok, i cut the tops off almost half of the crop, im going to let the other half go another week with just water to see the difference but i've noticed that a few more of my taller purple haze are also turning yellow and drying up quickly so im thinking of taking them out now also, let me know if this is a good idea, i thought flushing with water would perk them up and get them back to normal but as of now the taller ones are getting yellow and really dry, here's some pics of what i did yesterday, remember these are only the tops of one side of my room, i'll take down the rest next week and show you the difference.

    let me know what you think.

    There is no strain called purple haze, but what you have there is quite delicious looking. Sure you don't want to just give it away?

    i've got as much as i can hanging up but there's lots left and it's all over the room in big tupperware containers open to get the air that's circulating and some are on large boards that i covered in tin foil for one and the other is wrapped with plastic. can anyone tell me if these are going to dry ok? i keep turning them over each day this being the 2nd they are getting really crisp, so of them anyway. what will happen if i let them get to dry? will they still be able to cure at that point? so far in the room there's no weed aroma really hmmmm??????
