Yellowing tops bucket system

mspatient2008 · #1 (**permalink**) 09-24-2008, 12:57 AM

These are 4 weeks old in buckets with hydrotron using foxfarm 3 part fertilizer, any ideas why the new shoots are so pale yellow?
P.H is 5.8 ec=1.8 ppm 1200

Nothing from anyone?

Some strains look like that no matter what you do, what strain are you using? I wouldn't be too worried about it, plants look very healthy.

Dutchman Pot Of Gold, clean res once a week, using r.o water, I did switch from 8 4' t-5 floros to 600watt mh, but I started the light very high from tops, some have suggested light poison. Maybe the issue?

Nope you got nothin to worry about, Pot of Gold is supposed to look exactly like that. Hense the name ;-) the buds will have a yellowish tint to them as well. Here is what it will look like when it flowers:

Thanks Jmill, I'll watch during flowering and post pics.

this can also be caused by the plant not photosynthesizing chlorophyl at a normal rate. it passes after a while.
