Hello it seems you have issue with your ph it is maybe above 7 and it blocks phosphor . so it create phosphor deficience and it blocks absorption of other elements like iron and other. Try to measure the ph of the drain when you water your plant. Good luck

Looks like a phosphorus deficiency. Possibly the soil ph was thrown out of line when you added nutrition. Putting you In lock out, and plant is consuming itself to survive. Would be my diagnosis, especially if this was not a issue before you applied nutrition. 🌱

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

Same tent, same seeds package, same germination method, same soil, same light but big height difference. What could it be? Thanks 💚Hi guys, what do you think could be the reason for such a difference in heights at this stage? The short one sprouted 12h earlier and you can probably see is a little ahead in nodes/leaves development but stayed low. I even tried switching them places in the tent a few days ago.a year ago

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

Short bushy plantsGot these short bushy plants filling the whole 1 square meter space. Usually I yield about a pound of dry flower out of that space with the same setup but taller plants. These only range from 1ft to 2ft tall at day 17 bloom. Can yield be less because they are short? Thanks!Plant. Too short

Critical Purple: Leaves slightly yellow.Just started my first grow. I1 placed the light high in the tent and the leaves slightly turned yellow. I lowered it yesterday to 18” over the top on the plants. Just wondering if I am on the right track to solve the issue. The plants are still growing. Minimal nutrients 1ml/gal.Week 1

What's the problem?Hi guys, basically for the last few days the problem hasn't varied too much but I can't figure out if it's my light or if it's coming from somewhere else. Some of my leaves are curling with stains either on the leaf or like a burn on the tips.Leaves. Twisted
