Yellowing leaves on bottom of plant, end of stretch to start of flower. Am i seeing a deficiency?
Bingelingstarted grow question 3 years ago
Hi GD,
Im in week five and i started to notice some bottom leaves on my girls slowly turning yellow.
Could this be due to them barely recieving any light? or starting defeciency?
I am on the feed schedule in the pic, and watering with a ph of 6-6.3 (every 1-3 days, when dry)

That's pretty typical for a plant that age... it's probably because they're not getting the light down at the bottom but it's nothing to worry about.
I wish you would start a diary and keep track of the things you do for the plant and the conditions they live in... it would help us a lot if other problems/questions arise... So far, your grow LOOKS good..
Good luck the rest of the way

Leaves full of brown spotsMy friend doesn’t have a grow diary but he uses advanced nutrients and feeds when almost dry. He has this problem on his leaves and he can’t seem to stop it. I suggested calmag but he feed it 2ml per litre on sunday and the problem is still increasing. What else can he do ?Leaves. Color - Yellow

Should I remove parts of leaves ?I suppose it's a something like overwatering + lamp stress.
My lamp is now something like 80cm away. And I hvn't watered for 1 wk (but soil still wet, so... I wait ?).
=> Should I remove parts of leaves ? What about leaves with center dots?

Auto flowering, PH is 5.8 to 6.1 every day. Hydro set up. Botanicare grow, calmag, and hydroguard all given half the regular amount.Finishing up second transition week. The bottom leaves started turning a little yellow but are now turning a lot more yellow. Assuming this is the plant just using it's own nutrients stored in the lower leaves. Any input? It's a hydro set up. Thank you everyone.Leaves. Color - Yellow
