Jeffrokushstarted grow question 4 years ago
What could the Yellowing on the tips of some of the leaves be caused from??

It’s the first symptom of over feeding. The plant isn’t using all the nutrients and salt start to form in the substrate. You’re just slightly a bit to high, lower your feeding solution (100-200ppm less). Control the EC of the drain before and reduce your feeding solution.

This has happened to me a few times and its always right at the beginning of flower. I believe its the very beginning of nitrogen toxicity. As the plant shifts into flower, it wont need as much nitrogen. I just backed completely off my veg fert (Your Part A I believe), and the yellowing never progressed past the very tip! Hope this helps, plants look great!

It's likely either heat stress or too much bloom nutes locking out your micros.

This morning larger upper leaves are in "praying" position, one leaf closer to bottom looks sick.

Feeding right after repotting (coco coir).After repotting an auto flowering plant I get runoff EC of 800, while feeding water has EC 1200.
I guess EC gets diluted (biggest part of coco coir is new).
Should I increase EC of the feeding water?
I see slower growth but it may as well be due to stress of repotting.Setup. Strain - Autoflowering

Northern Lights Auto, quite short and bushy, fan leaves shielding light - should I defoliate?First time grower with a quite short Northern Lights Auto in week 6. The fan leaves seem to shield a lot of light from the inner leaves, also touching ground. Should I trim the fan leaves? Or should I keep them, since it already seems stressed enough for it's short life…Plant. Too short

What happens to my autos ? Too much fertilizer ? Nutrient block ?First week I tried the devil and fertilized my autos as little as possible, knowing it was useless... Big mistake.
After that I could see signs of too much fertilizer, i.e. pointed leaves and since then, slow growth with very small leaves. What has happened?

I have a big question about one of my plants. Right after the appearance of the first two pairs of leaves, I noticed it's not doing very well. It's now 15 days old and seems to be starting to flower.

When to harvest?Beginner question:
Would you say this is ready to harvest soon or should I wait some more? Leaves turning autumn colors, 3/4 of pistils turned orange.
Trichomes look rather clear, but some on the head bud are amber already.
