This week was a bit stressful. Nothing happened on Sunday, plants looked good. Dark green still but the random yellowing and dying leaves had me puzzled. On Monday I pruned back on the dead leaves. There wasn't a lot, but a little at a time makes a difference and they still need the fan leaves for growing the buds. On Tuesday the girls wanted water. The soil was fairly dry and the pots felt light. I watered with a gallon per plant and did week 8 on the Fox Farms schedule, still following it. A couple of hours after watering them I noticed the top leaves of each plant were clawing a little. This may have already been there, but I just noticed it. With the dark green in the majority of the leaves, a few random leaves dying on a regular basis, and now the clawing. I figured it was Nitrogen Toxicity. I took pics and asked questions here, on week 7's post. It was confirmed that indeed it looked like nitrogen toxicity. I didn't panic, just let the days play out. Wednesday and Thursday I didn't do much. I had run some lines to tie branches too, across the grow lengthwise, so I started doing a few of those. On Friday I finally downloaded an app and paid the $5 extra so I could check the strength of my lights with my phone. It was good on my main tops, but of course lower at the other tops on the branches. I decided to go for it and LST the main stock/tops of all 8 plants. I was very careful to just bow the stock and carefully tie the tops down at approximately the same height at the tops of the branches. Basically, tried to create a SOG of sorts, halfway through flower. See how this turns out. I was able to lower the lights a good 6inches, so that should definitely make a difference. On Saturday, to end the week, they were thirsty again. This time I changed up the nutrients and didn't do it according to the schedule. I cut out the Grow Big completely since it has a lot of nitrogen. I also did 75% Beastie Blooms and 25% Cha Ching, since Cha Ching has a lot of nitrogen as well. Fed them 1 gallon each. And of course, PH'd the water after mixing the nutrients.

I think these have nitrogen toxicity, wondering what others think? Yellowing of some leaves, I noticed the clawing in some upper leaves. Buds don't seem to be growing much. Any thoughts?

It's hard to say when the pictures are under that light, try to take pictures under normal lighting for better diagnosis. From what I can tell in these pictures there's actually a Nitrogen (N) abundance and some Phosphorous(P)/Potassium (K) deficiencies which may also be the cause of your buds' poor development (a picture showing where the leaves yellowing is the worst would really help!) Hope this helps! Good luck and happy growing :)

Nitrogen Toxicity/Abundance, I believe is my problem. As suggested by BluntZilla in my other question it could be lacking P and K as well. Here are pictures under normal lighting in hopes that someone can help out.

Theyre not showing any signs of other deficiencies/toxicities at the moment just the Nitrogen abundance mentioned. Yes lower the "Grow" or the Nitrogen source in your fertilizer by about 50% but never stop it completely since it may cause a shock and unnecessary stress! Keep a close eye at your plants and adjust the fertilizing accordingly! if the color goes back to normal then stay at that diet with a slow increase, and if they start showing deficiencies then increase the nutrients accordingly! Hope this helps! Good luck and happy growing :)

Great job bro the only thing id change is I would definitely look into getting your self an LEP lamp it would replace all those leds be cheaper to run not as hot as HID but gives you super lumens with the spectrum of led it would have doubled your yield easy and you'd only need one from GAVITA 1930lep

@EasyRaider, definitely man PH and sanitation and pest control are the things that are usually overlooked but stillgreatly important to the plants health almost as much as the light lmao happy growing man keep it

@GACiNATI, That would be great, and probably a great upgrade in the future. I would need two for the coverage space that I would need. Actually, four of them for how I plan to set the room up. As things progress, lights will definitely be upgraded. Learned a lot from this grow. The nutrient problem was probably more of a pH problem. I just found that my pH meter was a full point off. The buds have been stalled since halfway through flower, and I'm pretty sure pH and nutrient issues were a big problem. Need to make sure to fix those problems for the next grow. Also trying autos for the next run, and a different nutrient line. But yes, lights are a must upgrade.
