Yellow leaves
dyrachokstarted grow question 5 years ago
The lower leaves turn yellow
Is it due to a lack of nitrogen, or is it self-defoliation of the plant? (photos at week 5)
I look forward to your advice)
Should other leaves be defoliated or left as they are?

If you are using quality soil, you should not be experiencing nutrient deficiencies at just 5 weeks.
Yellowing of lower leaves seems to be normal. I am dealing with this, in my C99 outdoor grow.
I remove these leaves, once yellow is the dominate shade. It is just a few leaves a week, and there is plenty of new gorgeous green leaves.
As long as she continues to grow out new GREEN leaves, I would not tinker with specific nutes to add, outside your regular feeding, IF that is what you are doing now.
Good growing!!👍

In my opinion, it’s a nutrient burn or wrong ph, try to check the ph monitor (maybe check plain water if it’s is 7.00), seems to have a strong green colour maybe to much nitrogen!
I would give a flush and start with low dose nutrient again!

Yellow spots nute difficiency? Light burn?I noticed spots on both LB and NL that seem look like nute deficiency, my best guess is cal. I will check pH of soil runoff at next watering to eliminate lockout as a possibility. I've heard FFOF soil runs out in about 4 weeks, maybe that? Light burn from water drops on leaves?Week 4

Which plants to keep?How do I choose which plants to keep in the tent?
I’d like to keep 2 of the 4. The other 2 will go outdoor in 20 days. So might top again
2 the right have been growing thicker. Bushier, a bit bigger fan leaves. But a bit slower.
2 on the left skinnier, longer braches. A bit quickWeek 6

Leaves turning yellow with brown patchesI noticed the first real leaves on one of my plants turning yellow in FFOF. I transplanted them into bigger pots with ProMix M in hope that it would stop. Condition seems to continue worsening. I have started to notice the cotyledons on some of the plants turning yellow.5 years ago

DeficiencySpotted a deficiency on my AK 420
Checked on growweedeasy charts and Imo it's a cal/mag deficiency.
I meticulously check Ph and runoff and she had the same treatment as my royal dwarf.
Probably more hungry than the others.
Just wanted to make sure, cal/mag deficiency right?Week 6
