Leaves going yellow

[QLDPOTHEAD]

I have two white widow autos outdoor in pots that are outdoor that are 86 days old and some of the leaves are turning yellow. the big fan leaves have been doing this for a few weeks. But now starting to see it on the smaller leaves. The heads seem to be still growing.  More on one plant than the other. Not sure if this is normal as the have been in flower for about 8 weeks. It is winter here, So I do expect it will take a bit longer to finish. I water every 3 days and always check to make sure the soil is dry before I water. Any input would be great...

Perfectly normal.

 

Start checking the trichomes to see where they are at...

Check this one I harvested a few months back... And it looks better in the pics.

Thanks for the feedback, I will post some pics of trichomes tomorrow. First grow so I'm still learning. But great to have so many people willing to help on this site....

looks close to harvesting with the leaves going yellow (and the time of year/lack of sunlight)

so yea what Billy said, look at your trichomes ...

Yep, normal, and as they said, check trich colour.  Only problem you might have is being autos at this time of year they might run out of resources before getting to fully ripe, in which case all you can do is keep them going as long as possible.  But having looked at your plants in your other thread they look roughly 2-3 weeks off, and should be fine for that long.

Yellowing leaves, can also mean the plant is placing its goodies into the flower, & not the follage,  there fine, nothing to worry about,  good job

Trichomes are still all clear, Have had to order a new digital microscope as the one I have is a bit old and not powerful enough to show them clearly. But with much hassle, I got some clear pics of them. Once I get my new digital microscope, I will post some more pics....

I'm seeing clear, milky, and an isolated amber or 2, which is pretty much in line with the overall appearance of the plant.  Give it a week or so and check again.  At a guess I'd estimate 1 or 2 weeks and she'll be ready to flush for a week then harvest.
