My plant is an autoflower in a 1 gallon pot of BAS and it's several weeks into flower. Unfortunately the leaves are starting to turn yellow. I don't think I'm overwatering or underwatering. What could it be?
At first it was only the leaves on the bottom but almost all are now developing a yellow color. It's a 1 gallon pot. What should I do?
Put it into a bigger pot with additional soil. I probably wouldn't continue to flower plants in 1 gallon pots. j
How long have the plants been flowering? It looks like its only been a few/3 weeks into flower - so anywhere from 5 to 8 weeks left?
Yeah I'd say 4-5 weeks into flower. It's an auto if that makes any difference. So if I don't transplant I've got a dead plant?
Mu understanding from this site is that Autos don't like to be transplanted, even though I have before, but not one as big or as far along as yours. Might traumatize it if you transplant now. I like Smart Pots. Got my new grow going in 5 gallon ones. I'm doing 3 autos.
nitrogen deficiency IMO. DO NOT transplant it it's not going to grow any more roots. mj plants grow new roots in the first 2-4 weeks of flowering, then that's about it. some strains will cannabalize themselves as they uptake nutrients stored within the leaves. You'd typically see colours like orange, yellow, red, purple. this does not happen this early and it's all over the plant. It's "programmed" into the plant's geneology. What you have does not look like that. It looks like it wants some nitrogen. Yellowing from the bottom up. Happens a lot in flowering because some flowering nutes don't contain enough, if any nitrogen. Hope this helps.
Since I want to keep it totally organic and I can't transplant, is there anything I can do for this plant? I won't use a 1 gallon pot again. EDIT: Should I get this: http://buildasoil.com/products/buildaflower-top-dress-kit Is it organic?
or an alfalfa, kelp tea. or a fish hydrosylate and kelp tea. comfrey/dandelion tea. comfrey/ewc topdress. I'd REALLY try and urge you to not use even 3 gallon pot either, in my honest opinion, unless you flower from clone(which you obviously don't, autos) I wouldn't grow anything organically in a container less than 5 gallons. I use 12 and 15 gallon smarties and I can see the difference in the plants simply from a bigger container. Organics need room. Now I've never grown autos... But i'm not a ruderalis guy.. perpetual, with moms and preserved genetics are the cornerstone of my potgrowing philosophies..
