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!

Calcium deficiency or overfed?Hi. This is about my Apricot Auto which already suffered the yellow tips/edges. I took that as the result of heat/light stress. Now she also developed discoloration and brown spots on some of the leaves. It looks like a Calcium deficiency to me, but I am quite uncertain. Thanks!

Deficiency or Genetics Would you guys guess the yellowing on these leaves is more natural coloration from genetics or do you guys see something more? Plant is definately small but seems to be healthy and buds keep growing.

Yellowing leaves.Is this a Nitrogen, Magnesium or Iron deficiency? I tried looking at pictures online, but they all look very similar. Or because of me under watering? I know I have not been giving them enough water. Growing outside in soil. Gave them nutrients 2nd of January.

Is this yellowing normal? Probably because of LST?I am growing my plant with LST and some of the lower fan leaves have been moved down in the shadow. Is this the reason why those leaves are getting yellow and dry? All the rest of the leaves look very green and healthy by the way.
