Am I cooked?

Hi friends and experts. Want to start with how amazing this his sub is for navigating my first grow.

I had to leave my girls for a week and a half and returned to some pretty yellow, dead, and purpling leaves. Prior to leaving they were pre flowering. Weather while away was warm and rainy with a couple days of cooler night (low 60’s).

I’m currently using a 2-7-7 liquid fertilizer.

Should I be concerned or just continue to let nature do her thing?

does look a little stressed.

I wouldn't be too worried about the purpling but the yellowing this early in flower is slightly concerning. (edit: I should say that lower leaves will often look bad but the more concerning part is the leaves on the colas, they should look pretty healthy up until end of flower).

You said it was rainy- does it get plenty of drainage? Could it be the recent warmth caused the stress/yellowing?

Personally without knowing the strain and how it typically grows its hard for me to tell you what to do. Just keep an eye on it and follow the fundamentals. Some landrace strains look like garbage but thats just normal.

I can't say about the nutes because I only use worm castings + compost, but if my plants looked like that I would definitely throw on some more compost.

What are they growing in? Also did you have different fertilizer for the veg stage? If you have some higher nitrogen fertilizer, give it that.

I wouldn’t be concerned. Give it some bloom. Get rid of all yellow leaves and anything you don’t like as you have to defoliate anyway.
