My guess is nitrogen deficiency supposedly you should feed veg nutes 1 or 2 weeks into flowering just a little and week it off kinda

This can happen in flower. If the new growth is all looking good. And it doesn't seem to spread rapidly I wouldn't worry! Happy Harvesting!

Balcony Auto Gelato with Yellow and Brown LeavesI'm growing this auto gelato in a balcony safe from rain fall and harsh wind, it's the 25th day and the bottom leaves and cotyledon are turning yellow and with some brown traces. I started to use minimum amount of "all in one" fert. Do you think it is overfertilization issue?3y ago

Are they still looking overwatered?How are my babies looking? Watering now every 24h (0,5l) and I raised the pots so they no longer stand in the runoff (doh!). The calmag also arrived today so hopefully that will help my Green Gelato with the yellowing 🙌Week 6

Hey guys,
I just wanna ask, all girls except one looking bright green almost a bit yellow.
And only one is dark green.
Someone has experience with this strain?
I read about a yellow albino but I think it isn‘t that yellow :)
Would be really thankful for your ideas.
Thanks guyWeek 2

Seedling yellow leaf ?A pair of second set leaves have sign of yellowness (it occurred a day before transplanting).
I'm not sure whether it is Nitrogen deficiency or any root problems?
(I will start adding more Veg nutrition which is rich in N this week)
Can yellow leaves turn back into green?Week 4

Is this normal new leaf color growth?It seems again that my leaves are a touch shiny, slightly curled down, and are a touch yellow. I water only 1 Liter every two days and do not use any fertilizer apart from coffee grounds and aquarium water which has slight minerals. Thanks for the help in advance6y ago

Yellowing leavesLeaves seem kinda yellow on one hand. The bottom right hand corner one looks like she needs CalMag but I'm not sure.
All the photos have been taken under the same light.
Used to over dose the nutrients to prevent burn but continually gave them 1mL/L calmag each.Week 8

You are a SATIVA North Shore Maui! You grow tall like the sky! Strong like mountain! You are not descended from short plant!Currently overthinking this plant's development. Pep talk not working. It is a sativa but the shortest plant in my garden. Maybe just needs a trim? The yellow is a concern too. I haven't dealt with a plant this bushy before so not sure if it needs help or not.Leaves. Color - Yellow

Not Nutrient BurnWell I'm stumped...ppm 600, pH 5.9...it certainly looks like nutrient burn but it can't be, tips yellow then darken and curl and get crispy. 3 days between pics in question and in diary. My only guess is that I upgraded from knockoff 100W LED to Mars Hydro 150W. Any ideas?3y ago

Purple leaves getting worse!?So I started getting light purple/yellowing last week, after my last grow question, I landed on potassium deficiency. I gave a healthy dose (2 tbsp in a half gallon of spring water) of Fox farms big bloom (0-.05-.07), within the last 48 hrs and the purple looks worse? Any ideas?3y ago
