Plant needs more potassium. A P/K booster will help, or increase the amount if you are already using some.

Most likely turning yellow because it's getting to the end of its life cycle.... I don't see anything to worry about except the length of time you're going to be in trim jail in the near future! Good luck!

Deficiencies at Day 60 or natural, expected fade?
Does my girl look like she is suffering from a deficiency or is it a normal fade for day 60 since sprouting? What can I do as she definitely has a while to finish I feel? Any estimates on how much longer she has before getting close to chop? See most recent comment for details.

Week 8 (4 weeks into flowering) - Possible Nitrogen / Cal-Mag issue?
Plants show signs of what i assume to be a deficiency. Stopped feeding nitrogen Week 7 according to schedule. Symptoms are not on every leaf but some the upper foliage. Yellowing, burnt tips and rusty spots. My guess is lack of Cal-Mag & Nitrogen. Is my guess correct?

Calmag or not?
I'm thinking this little lady might need calmag as new growth looks a little off colour, any opinions are appreciated my tap water is around 60-65 ppm this is my first time in just Coco + perlite, so should I add calmag to my schedule? Many thanks in advance

Yellowing on lower leaves. Any idea what this is?
Don't think they should be deficient in anything yet, they're in new Ocean Forest soil and only on day 11 of veg, no way they used up what's in the soil yet. More details in my grow diary comment.

I can not take out of the tent to the darkness more than 4 at once and wanna hear your suggestions before I go with yellow sugar leaves or some amberish :D
I read something about harvesting immediately (not to crap the flower) when sugar leaves start to turn yellow and I have some! On the other hand, I saw some trusted videos that has some yellow sugar leaves. I want to ask you if you have any experience with this issue?

Do I have a deficiency problem or am I ok? 3 lower leaves on both plants started with the tips browning but now the leaves are going yellow. None of the newer growth has been affected but the 3 leaves seem to be getting worse. See pics in week 4!

Thoughts on flushing before harvest? I’ve been reading conflicting views on whether it is necessary or even harmful. My leaves are already showing deficiencies which leads me to believe there’s not even an excess of nutrients to get rid of?
