How do I fix the yellowing/brown leaves?
Canadianeh416started grow question 5y ago
I used to have a small fan blowing directly on the plants and now I've moved the fan to blow at the light. Also raised the 1000 watt LED higher so it's 24 inches above the soil. Also checked the PH of the water coming out of the bottom of the plants and it's between 6-7.

You measure distance to light from the top of the canopy not the soil..

Yellowing plantWhy is my plant yellow? I thought nitrogen or magnesium or PH.
But i tested everything and it is still yellow. I tried flushing and using no nutrients but didnt help. PH is good, tried giving extra nitrogen and magnesium.
What else can it be?Week 15

Leaves turning light green -- yellow (after 12h day/night rhythm)Since I started with 12h daylight/dark rhythm a lot of leaves started to turn yellow (older and lower ones first, some branches turned red). What I did:
PH value=6.5. I added CalMag--no effect. I flushed the soil --no effect. Do you have any ideas? Thx green thumb-friends 👏Week 19

Manchas en hojaHola!
Aparecieron estas manchas en una hoja de una GG#4 de zamnesia en su quienta semana vegetativa.
No es algo que me preocupe, ya que la planta tiene una apariencia sana y crece vigorosa. Pero nunca vi este tipo de manchas y me gustaría saber su posibles motivos.
Un saludo!Leaves. Color - Yellow
