Bingelingstarted grow question 3y 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

Lower leaves too pale or yellowing?I am noticing the lower leaves of my Royal Critical Automatic to be much more pale green than the top of the plant.
Is this a nutrient/light/watering/lst stress problem if at all?

Lower leaves turning yellow and getting crispyLower leaves are still turning yellow/brown. See photo. A couple weeks ago I got a greenhouse to protect the plant from the rain. Outside temperature has been lower and there hasn't been much sun (mostly clouds) so I don't think heat is a problem anymore. Don't know the pH. Help!Week 5

It's been a week since I switched to flowering and new growth on the plant all has a yellow/lime green colour but this seems to go away when the leaves fully grow out and growth in general has not slowed down. Based on the pictures in my diary should I be concerned?Week 6

Leaf IssuesHey all, my almost 5 week old Moby dick auto flower is starting to show some issues in the first week of flower. She got a dose of Veggie nutes 5 days ago, and a little bit of Bloom yesterday trying to fix it. Temps have been high and humidity low, would that cause this?Leaves. Color - Yellow

Yellow lower leavesHello,
This is my first grow and now I'm confronted with the first problem.
The lower leaves on my plants are turning bright and yellow. A few leaves have very small brown spots. Can someone help me and perhaps have an idea as to how I should proceed? Thanks.Leaves. Color - Yellow
