Organic grow, yellow leaves, autoflower
Dahliakingstarted grow question 3 years ago
First ever grow. I'm in my 5th week of autoflower, organic grow. Using the bomb paonia soil, raging kush light and boogie brew tea and filter to water. Temps are steady around 86. Started noticing yellowing on bottom leaves. I'm pretty sure it's from under watering? any feedback?

Well the tea has nutrients no? Anyhow than it’s probably just a bit light on N in the soil.
Whether it’s organic or not it’s still providing it nutrients
Worm casting tea or something else with a decent amount of N should help..

Pull those leaves off—- maybe do a top dress with a higher NPk. And get those temps lower. 81 is pushing it

Thanks for the response. We are not using any nutrients though. Trying to keep it simple/organic

Yellowing lower/older leaves like that is a telltale sign of nitrogen deficiency.
I’m not familiar with your nutrients but autos do usually need a bit more nitrogen for the first weeks of flower compared to photoperiod plants so maybe you started bloom focused nutes too soon.

Sénescence ou manque d'azote en phase de floraison.Les feuilles virent au jaune rapidement, se propageant aux autres. Je les ai privées d'azote pendant 10 jours en floraison, pensant que la terre enrichie suffirait. Doute entre manque d'azote et début de sénescence. Voir mon journal pour plus de détail. Merci beaucoup 🙏Leaves. Color - Yellow

Rate the Bud - 6 Week completed floweringSo this is my first time growing with using BioThrive grow, bloom, calmag bottle ferts. Would greatly appreciate any feedback on improvements, those 2-3 leaves with yellow spots seem concerning.
On 'honest' scale of 1 to 10, how are my buds looking for week 6 in flowering?Buds. Not fattening

Cut off yellow leaves.Can I cut off these leaves?
I am worried that this is an autoflowering plant and it will be an additional stress for it. But it also seems to me that it is spending some effort to keep these leaves alive and it would be better if it spent this effort on the buds.Week 5

Older leaves are yellowing, brown/red rusty spots, dying tissue, red stems.Older leaves have brown/red rusty spots and looks like dying tissue in between the veins.
Burnt tips, and yellowing leaves.
The soil was really dry and my PH meter was 0.4 too high.
I gave each plant 3L of water with EC: 0.0 PH: 6.4 to check runoff.
Runoff was PH: 6.1 EC: 0.8a year ago
