I haven't started feeding yet. I'm using fox farm ocean forest. It's been in the 5 gallon pot for 3 weeks now. Should I flush?

Organomananswered grow question 3 years ago

First signs of burning due to over feeding or feeding too often. Sativa dominant strains like SSH usually do just fine with half to two thirds strength nutrients. Also, in soil it is a schedule of plain water/plain water/feed/plain water/plain water/feed.........so that the plants are only being fed every 10-14 days, which is plenty, as soil "holds onto" nutrients quite effectively. Also, go easy on the defoliation....less leaves = less energy being made = less growth.

Upper leaves are yellow and not smooth I noticed leaves on top are closing and today are yellowish. Older plant aren’t stretching more, I thought it’s too much light or too hot but it’s kinda weird because light are at 40cm from longer plant and 50 from smaller, temperature are max 26C. So, it’s normal?

Is this an Iron deficiency? The tops and new growth look too yellow and the veins are yellowing with a darker green in between Haven't fed much with nutes, when I did it's been low doses. I'm trying not to burn one for once. Not sure if its a deficiency or other problem or if I'm just worrying too much, looks off to me though. My problem with overwatering might be contributing.

Please help identify my Problem: Yellowing leaves with veins showing and some necrosis spots in third week of flower The odd thing is that only some leaves in the middle of the plant are affected. My thoughts were Nitrogen or Manganese deficiency or maybe light burn (why in the mid of the plant tho?)? I feed Biobizz Bloom, Grow and TopMax, no Problems until now.

Slight Leaf Discoloration. Early zinc deficiency?Girl showing slight discoloration on newer leaves. Mostly interveinal + little on the tips. Guessing it's an early zinc def. but would like another opinion. Watering sparingly at ph 6.3 - 6.5. No runoff yet, so ph may be higher in soil. Lower ph and watering til runoff next time?

The stems began to turn red Guys, I need your help! The stems began to turn red. Yesterday it was less, but today it is more saturated and spreads to the veins of the leaves. Could it be a phosphorus deficiency, or am I worrying for nothing? And what is better to do in this case?

Dark Green Leaves and Purple Stems Plant B has had no nutes its entire life in FFHF soil (3 weeks). Stems are a purplish color and starting to droop a little. Water is always pH'd around 6.3 but I haven't tested the runoff yet. Phosphorus deficiency? Heat Stress? Watering conflict? NL Photo just started flowering.

Calcium Deficiency???So this is a Calcium Deficiency right? Noticing on top leaves. Not bad yet but want to stop it before it starts as this grow has been my best so far. I have been using CalMag every water but I did lower the dose for a few days as I was told I was using too much for flower.
