Should I be concerned by these yellow leaves? I gave her 2tsp of tiger bloom on Wednesday but some leaves still seem to be dieing off.

It's normal for lower leaves to yellow. I would recommend defoliating all those lower leaves so the plant needs less nutrients to feed all those leaves. Cheers.

Fine-Tuning Nitrogen Understanding (Deficiency or Toxicity) -- Suspected deficiency, so how do I adjust Fox Farm nutes? Increase ALL 3 nutes to 3/4 dose?Initial inter-vein yellowing, followed by whole leaf yellowing. Minor leaf stem reddening. Older growth. Normal for flower stage (I believe), but too early for normal and rapid discoloration (week 6). This makes me believe it's a nitrogen deficiency, amplified by SLIGHT overwaterLeaves. Color - Yellow

Yellow leaves at the end of flowering, should I worry?I can use some help on this one. I am pretty new. The variety is called Hawaiian Staycation. It has done well and we are in the last week or so of flowering. It got a bit dry in the tent and the leaves really yellowed. I plan on harvesting next week, should I be concerned?Week 10

Is that just a light burn or could it be something else?One bud in the middle of my plant is much lighter than all the others, which all look healthy and green. I think it was due to the too small distance of my light, which was only 20cm (8") between canopy and light. I have now moved the light to 35cm (14").

I have lots of yellowing on the lower leaves of one plant. After reaserching I think it’s a nitrogen deficiency. Also today I’ve noticed lots of teeny tiny white/clear bugs! I’m super anxious about it, thinking my plants are goners. Any idea on what they are?Week 10

Drooping leavesThe water pH wasn't right before but it's been at 6 for the past 5 days and the leaves are still drooping and seemingly yellowing albeit at a snail's pace. Water her every 2-3 days + 0.5 ml of feed once a week so not sure what the problem is currently? It's an organic grow.Week 5

2 autos with crispy feeling sad looking leaves, how can I help them? (more info in diary pl & crit)2 of my autos have been growing leaves that feel crispy and look deformed. I have been watering when the top 5 cm of the soil dries, but I fear maybe I fed them too much nutrients. The temp has also been on the high side (30C 80F). What could be wrong and what can I do for them?Leaves. Curl up

Lower leafs getting yellow tips and spotsI just noticed that the lower leafs are dying, while other leafs are getting yellowish spots. Is this some kind of nutrient deficiency? The leaf with the yellow spots is near the air intake.
They didn’t get any fertilizer except root juice since the soil is still somewhat fresh.1y ago
