Yellowing and light green leaves
CookiesAndCakestarted grow question 5y ago
Hello growers!
My AK has been getting some yellow leaves, big fan leaves and small new leaves at the bottom, and looks less dark green. Is this a deficiency (looks like nitrogen but I don't want to give it even more nutrients) or is it just self defoliating? Any ideas?

If you have been lowering your nitrogen. This begins to happen during flower. To me it's a sign they are sucking up nutes from inside the plant which is what your hoping for in flower so it won't effect the taste of your bud.
The small low ones are probably just dying off due to lack of light. I wouldn't be worried here. Happy Growing! 👊😜

Привет, друг! 👋
Это нормально для ее возраста, нижние крупные листья могут обесцвечиваться и отпадать.... не срывайте их самостоятельно! 👆
вы правильно считаете - азот ей не нужно добавлять! всё идет своим чередом! не переживай, бро! 👌
Удачи! ✊😇

Issues with leaves. Day 90 total, 30 of flower. Leaves have been getting more and more yellow the past week, with progressively more brown tips.Vpd has been pretty close to ideal, the pot had 1 gallon less soil so could be missing out on some nutrients? Possibly Potassium? Otherwise not sure what it could be. Does not appear to be N deficiency because the leaves are affected from the top too. What should I do to fix this3y ago

Yellowing, wilting, stunted growthCan anyone please help me identify whats wrong with them. I've done a flush, adjusted the lights, reduced the nutrient strength, I've pretty much done everything and still stunted growth and they are still looking weak and frail. I'm lost and I don't even know what's wrong.Leaves. Curl down

Help: potential over fertilisation or over waterningI used Biobizz bio grow, 2ml/L and sprayed them more than usual. The tip of the leaves is getting yellow. 2 plants have the leaves pointing down and seem more textured and tick. The other 2 (the biggest) seem better, but the yellowing of the leaves is more evident.

Calmag Deficiency? Yellow SpotsLast res change I saw some yellow/brown spots on the fan leaves up where the main cola was getting too close to the light. Is this a calmag deficiency or light too close? I moved the light up to the top of my tent with zip ties and got back several needed inches. See pics.Week 6
