Could this be a simple Nitrogen deficiency or something else I’m missing?

Welcome to the Week 5 (for the larger two plants) and Week 2 (for the smaller two plants) update, a few days late as usual this grow. Unfortunately with xmas coming fast, my job as a mom gets super busy and keeping up with the plants and GD- challenging to say the least. So here goes... Plant #1 (the tallest) was 42" tall on day 37. She is very light in colour with some yellowing fan leaves at the bottom and I think she might need some more food (maybe some Nitrogen?). This plant was amended just one week ago with Gaia Green Organic Dry Fertilizer All Purpose & Power Bloom and although it perked her up nicely- I think she needs more! She’s experienced crazy growth rates and has plentiful bud sites so I will be amending her again. I’m currently using a 50/50 mixture of the grow and bloom fertilizers at a rate of 1 tablespoon to 1 gallon of medium (so she’s getting 2 tablespoons of grow and 2 tablespoons of bloom every time I top dress). Plant #2 (the bushy one) was 29" tall on day 37. She is darker in colour, healthy and putting on bud sites quickly now. I have been defoliating her- a few leaves every second day while I’m in watering and this seems to be helping a bit. Because she’s looking good at this time, I will not be amending/top dressing her again- yet. Both of the bigger plants are getting 3.5 mls/gallon of CalMag and are still receiving 2 litres of water per plant every second day. The smaller Green Crack Autos were both at 5" tall on their day 14. Although they are healthy, they are slightly behind their older sisters and are not quite ready for topping yet. Hopefully by the end of week 3- so maybe day 19, 20 or 21st these plants will be ready to top between the 4th & 5th nodes. Unfortunately, I think the younger plants are not getting as much light due to the older plants taking up a significant amount of space above/around them in the tent. It’s going to be crowded growing forward! The young plants have just been started on CalMag (half ml/litre) and are receiving 1 litre of water per plant every second day. I think that’s about it for the week 5 update for the big girls and week 2 for the babes, thx for reading and until next week- happy growing!

So- largest plant (photos above) yellowing lower fan leaves, overall light green colour on the entire plant. Possible Nitrogen deficiency? Otherwise she is healthy, budding up well and looks great. Any thoughts from the GD community? Thx as always!

Hello my friend😊
It is highly possible that it is possible Nitrogen deficiency
Nitrogen deficiency in cannabis plants:
When cannabis plants do not have a balanced nutrition and lack this element, there are anomalies in their development, visible through the morphology of the plant, which we call deficiencies.
Plant growth is much slower.
The leaves turn yellow little by little, starting with the lower parts of the plant.
The chlorosis begins with the tips and extends to the center of the leaf.
Plants have fewer defenses against insect or mite infestations, diseases and bad weather.
Flowering and the eventual production of seeds are seriously diminished.
Massive defoliation (leaf drop) after severe chlorosis.
Deficiency progresses from the bottom to the top, affecting the youngest leaves last.
To solve the problem quickly it will be necessary to add to the nutrient solution a fertilizer rich in nitrogen so that the plants can recover their optimum levels of this nutrient a few days after watering. During growth and during stretching, it is also possible to use a nitrogen fertilizer exceptionally directly as a foliar spray, for faster assimilation than by the roots.
It should be noted that when plants have these deficiencies their production capacity has already decreased, so that it is important to maintain a balanced diet throughout the crop in order to obtain optimal quality and production.
It is very important to bring enough nitrogen to the plant during periods of growth and stretch, because then once in full bloom, it will be very difficult or impossible to catch a nitrogen deficiency, the roots of the plant having at this stage lost almost all capacity of assimilation of this element. If the nitrogen reserves of the plant are not sufficient for the stretch, it will yellow quickly once in flowering.
Good luck for your grow 😉
May the force be with you 💪

Yellowing on leaves, affecting top of plant first and working it’s way down. She’s hardly drinking any water but still doing her best to keep growing. Not sure if this is a deficiency or what, never seen this before. Any thoughts/advice is greatly appreciated- thx and merry xmas!

hey there Mom, sorry i'm seeing this late ! so yeah the way the yellowing is starting on the serrated edges of the leafs and working it's way inwards is a magnesium deficiency symptom probably due to the heavy light schedule. You kinda want to dial the lights back during this stage of flower (sort of mimicking nature's shortening day) , terps and THC get zapped by the light and most of it will be produced during dark hours - so it's not a bad idea to give more dark hours. What else helps is giving pH 6 water instead of 6.5, the soil will buffer it to 6.5 anyway and the lower pH helps with the micro nutrients. Hope this helps ! 🚀

I think your plants look great. With the amount of top growth you have I'm not surprised she was stealing some nitrogen from the lower leaves. It's not unusual to lose a few of the oldest lower fan leaves by this point of the grow. Since you just fed her I would give her a bit of time before adding more nutrients unless the leaf yellowing starts to move up higher in the plant or if the stems of the leaves start to turn red higher up. I do agree with lowering your ph into the 5.8 to 6.3 range it would be better for nutrient absorption.

@bungolio, I swear by my Electric Sky made by The Green Sunshine Company! I have recently been fortunate enough to add a second ES 180 to my 3x3 tent and the plants are loving it. I am on track to have one of the largest plants with the most bud on a single plant that I have ever grown! The true wideband spectrum of light that these fixtures offer is perfect for Cannabis from seedling to veg right thru flower. I couldn’t be happier, thank you Dan at GSC- this grow is just for you!

What size of pots are you using? I'm wondering if it's root bound. I have this problem this summer... my pots were 10gal but at some point the roots were bound. My plants looked about as big as ours... you can look at my Purple Kush Outdoor grow to compare... not sure if it will be helpful, ya never know.

I agree with nitrogen deficiency. Yellow leaves usually indicate the plant wants more nitrogen. But it could also be a ph issue. Good luck!

I'm following closely. I have some FB Blue Dreamatic and Pineapple Express in my refrigerator. I hear they can get pretty large and I was contemplating about trying to FIM them when I grow them. May have to top them if they take off with growth like you have.
