Im a month and 4 days into flowering and i noticed this morning that the 4 lower fan leaves have started turning a little yellowish and brown. All the rest of her growth is good, shes very hairy and crystaly just got those 4 leaves dying... any idea whats going on?
Have you been using bloom nutes? If so, and that is all you are using, most likely it has a low amount of nitrogen as flowering plants do not like much nitrogen. Yellowing leaves during flowering is normal as the plant consumes most nitrogen leaving the leaves yellow. However, browning could be a problem (in some cases could be normal). But could be potassium or magnesium deficiency. Sodium can build up in soil and locks out potassium.
Thank you for help. Ive actually let it been running off its soil except for a couple feedings of miracle grow before i flowered. I was thinking about buying that go box starter kit... but id rather let it run purely off the soil if possible
I would say probably normal, but keep an eye on it. It is quite normal for my plants to get yellow leaves at the end of the grow. All the energy is going to make sticky smelly bud. Your girls are trying to get pollinated. You know laid so they put out everything they have. I made the mistake of increasing the feed rate and Herrmed two of mine one time. You sound like your close to the end of the grow don’t get greedy like I did. The weed was still good but it had small white seeds. Nobody likes that.
Well since you should be coming up on a flush soon anyway, it is probably too late to give nutes anyway. Unless you do it now. Just keep a close eye and if it gets worse feed it. You need phosphorous in flowering so if it isn't getting any, just keep that in mind.
okay so if it like starts to spread to another set of fan leaves its probably gonna need phosphorus? and heres a couple pictures, the first one is one of those leaves i was talking about.
what you are one or two weeks out, i would stop feeding and flush in the final week. that looks normal to me. you may get three weeks more growth. i harvest when 80% of the pistils turn red like in the last pic. it is a good looking bud. are your colas getting big? a good high P fertilizer my have helped to fill her out. but i would not overdo it now. i have one friend that never uses any fertilizer at all. he makes his own mulch and has real good results. way to much work for me.
Well I'm not saying that's the problem, just could be if you are not adding any. Looking at the pics though, seems that you will go without problems til the end. I saw pics like your leaves and said a certain deficiency but I forgot which one. Let me try to find it and ill let ya know what deficiency it says.
thanks i appreaciate it. see the thing is the colas are getting bigger just not super fast. ive looked at plants on here and its nothing like they look like. but im not gonna get impatient im gonna let her be... but if i got p fert could watering the fert down more each feeding and feeding only maybe like once or twice help her out?
From the pics it looks like heat stress (in your case I do not think that is the problem). I wanna say either magnesium, phosphorus or potassium. Try to find a good bloom fert but a small amount because you really only need a couple feelings before a flush.
yeah ive got cool whites on it so its probably one of those nutrient deficiencys. any suggestions on a good bloom fert i could pick up at like walmarts garden section?
Not sure about Walmart, just on amazon I buy FF big bloom. Pretty cheap, low in nitrogen and all natural. I love it. If you grow again (which I assume u will). It will definitely be put to good use.
alrighty ill definatly look for some with no nitrogen and get it cause it would go to good use in the next grow your right. and thanks for the help i appreciate it
If you are planning to get something that you will use next time, I would suggest one of the fox farm bloom nutes
