Issue: Oldest fan leaves are turning yellow, curling and dyeing and falling off. These old fan leaves were all getting little light and were most likely useless to the plant due to the density of its upper foliage. Please give me your thoughts on the cause and solution of this. Thanks in advance... Grow Info: The Cheese Fem. - Marijuana-Seeds NL (Breeders in Holland?) Week 12 Veg. (Seed: Aug. 1st) I started with Flora trio Nutrients but in the 9th week I switched it to Advanced Nutrients Base which is far quicker to use due to the pH balancing chemicals. pH'd distilled water every other water. 5 gal. Smart Pot with Fox Farm Ocean Forest. Mars Hydro 180w UFO LED directly above it, another to the left and even farther left a Mars Hydro 300w. Flowering will start next week or the week after. In flowering it will get lower doses of Bud Ignitor, Big Bud, Bud Candy, SensiCal-Mag Xtra, Sensizym(maybe), Overdrive, Bud Factor X, and Flawless Finish. The worse two of the four fell off, I cut the others. This is my first plant ever, I now have a few others as well. I'm quite proud actually. Yields should be pretty good, right?

Swapping nutes did it..! You may have liked them new nutes, but unless you flush first ...this is the result you can say ..the plant disagreed with you, so you then ripped off some leaves? next grow add 30% perlite to that FFOF, and stick to just one nute, for each vegging and budding avoid RO water unless you wanna play catch up with Calcium and Mg supplements
I originally switched nutrients because the leaves were yellowing, AN claims to have a more balanced formula that offers more calcium, magnesium uptake. This however may not be true. I have since bought and fed them SensiCal-Mag Xtra and problems appear to have ceased. As an experienced grower how much larger do you think this plant will get in flowering?
in all honesty only you will know but there has been some loss of yield due to this 'delay' keep cool, see it as 'a learning thing' stay cool 'V'
