    I have six plants and this is on one of them. The first two leaves are all yellow, and the next set is yellowing on the tips. No other yellowing anywhere on the plant. Looks really healthy other than the yellow. hmm i guess i need to give some info. Watering when need usually around 4-5 days with nuted water. pH adjusted after nutes are added to be around 6.0-6.5. Run off is around same pH. Canadian Gold potting mix. under 4 4ft T8 fluros along with 2 75W Hps lights. fan on consistanly. temp around 80 during day. and about 73 at night. Humidity is proly around 40%. I know it is a little low but hey plants seem to be doing alright. Topped about a week ago, New growth is doing fine and vigorus. Thanks for any help. -PEace

    When was it fed last? You are either giving it too much or not enough.

    It was fed last watering. and i gave it as much as the box said to give it. It says to feed every watering so i just watered them again. We will see if it gets worse or better. Wish me luck Hey man check out my grow journal if you want to see my other plants. Thanks for your help.

    Shimen,

    What type of fert is it? My guess is that it is getting too much. Reason being, the directions on boxes are usually meant for veggies and not weed and therefore are 2x as strong as they should be. Unless you got the ferts from a hydro store and they are specifically meant for weed, cut in half the dosage that the box says and use that as their full strength feeding.

    Schultz plant food plus (small bottle with dropper) 7 drops per quart of water.

    you use it ever watering, your plant needs to be watered more often in my oppionion or your very first bottom leafs that popped out when you germed would still be alive....

    I water with it DAILY! and no problems. Its not nutrient burn i can tell you that, so has nothign to do with giving it too much, the stuff is designed for every day watering.



    no biggy they are useless anyways.. suggest you water more often.

    Dire How would i prevent root rot. My soil does not dry out that quickly and that would be the only thing i would be worried about. Maybe i will step it up a day next time and see how they repsoned. Also the yellow is starting to move up the plants so even though i am new to this i would have to say N def. I will step up watering though. Thanks for your help guys.

    I do have some organic blood meal. Should i through in a little bit of that to help with it or would i be taking to much of a risk of throwing everything out of balance. Peace

    Goto the plant store and pick up some Urea, and feed it that (1 tablespoon per gallon of water)

    that that doesnt fix the yellowing nothing will.

    As for watering, you dont have to flood the soil every watering, i water every day with just a little water enough to just keep it damp.
