Leaf death during early flowering?

Marcus Flaniham · #1 (**permalink**) 12-05-2007, 11:31 PM

Okay, my girl has been growing since April with some homemade composted soil and not too much care other than that (first grow). I fertilized once and then never again because of an accidental (and quite stupid) episode of overfertilization.
My plant is in the first week of flowring, and some of the leaves have been dying off. Now, I didn't think anything of it at the time, but now some of the larger fan leaves are dying also. I'm just wondering, does this picture look like i should be worrying?

Note, these are the only leaves that are currently yellowing/dying. But, better safe than sorry, and I don't trust my own judgement enough to self-diagnose.

Dude! They're hungry. Feed them.

Flowering takes a lot of energy, and the plants need nutes. Try some Miracle Grow all purpose fertilizer, mixed 1/4 strength to start, and then increase the strength gradually. If the tips start to burn you know you're just a hair too strong, so back off a bit.

screw miracle-gro get botanicare or bio-bizz organics products. Your plants will thank you. And reward you greatly.

Yes, those are all great products and I agree that I'd choose them over MG if they're available. The only reason I mention the MG is that it's easy to find and it will get the job done, just not as well as the premium products.
