Every leaf is yellow!!!!

Dank0ne · #1 (**permalink**) 01-27-2007, 11:20 PM

All the leaves on my plant are turning yellow at 4 1./2 weeks into flower, probably because i havent been able to feed it since my pH meter broke, im currently waiting on one to come in the mail. The bud sites are still green though, and have massive crystals. My question is, can buds still form if my leaves are yellow? How do i fix it???? this all happend over night, after i watered with non-pHed water.im so confused and angry right now.. can anyone give me advice? thanks

how long since you've fed them? even without a ph meter, feeding is still possible. did you mean ec meter? even without that i'd still feed them if i were you, just make sure to go on the weak side. if all the leaves are yellow, you might be fucked. once a leaf turns yellow and starts to die, it will not return to it's lush green color no matter what you do. you might need to either harvest early, or reveg for new growth.

ive only fed it once since flower with FF nutes...so even If i gave them a dose of nutrients, they would still be yellow?

Need to see pics to diagnose for certain, but it sure sounds like a nitrogen deficiency. You need to feed that plant pronto, and you are right to want to make sure the pH is in line first. The mistake you are making is waiting for the meter to come in the mail, your plant isn't waiting for you.

Most likely you have a N def from the lack of feeding but possibly also because your plant was unable to uptake the nutes you did give it before due to a pH imbalance.

The plant should still flower, however your buds won't be as big and juicy as they could have been because the fan leaves produce energy that, during flowering, is used for bud production. I would not add extra N now, it won't help revive totally yellow leaves plus it could inhibit bud production. Just ride it out, you'll still get good bud.

4 1/2 weeks into flowering means that they're about 3/4 done with thier life cycle. I'm not sure yellowing leaves that even fall off is a bad thing. You don't want more leaf growth when the buds are trying to grow. Vegitative growth is when you want the big dark green fan leaves.
