Losing colors :'(

Deckernostarted grow question 2 years ago
I watered only 2L of water without nutrients this week (pot 30 L) You can see it on the diary photos, the plans have lost their colors (yellow). I wanted to know what exactly it was due to, because I read on the net a lack of nitrogen but I would like the expert opinion Thanks !

Early flower is when to increase phosphorous and potassium signifigantly and maintain adequate nitrogen levels, before reducing nitrogen mid flower. Often the lowest/oldest leaves going yellow at this stage can be atributed to a lack of light penetration down low. After looking at you diary, I would suggest your previous "cover crop/companion plants" have stripped a lot of the nutrients from the soil, so yes, a general lack of N/P/K would be a valid reason for the yellowing.

Hi your girls need some more water/nutrients. It's now you need to increase everything. Light, water and nutrients. Slow and steady. Because they are in preflower and stretch. Just keep an eye on them on how the react. 🤛

One moment please! 2 litres for 30 L pot for the whole week? Did I read that properly? If so, this yellowing can be caused by underwatering. They need much more water to thrive. I’d say at least 1 liter per day for one plant. Just keep runoff at minimum 10%, preferably more.

Plant still needs a well balanced diet in early flower. They get super hungry for the stretch. If they don't get what they need they will take it from the leaves. Those bottom leaves will also fade because of lack of light. I would clean her up at the bottom so the plant can focus more up top.

spesso nella parte bassa non arriva una buona luce quindi la pianta tende a lasciare indietro le foglie piu nascoste che non riescono a fare la fotosintesi come si deve la parte sopra mi sembra di un bel verde intenso un po' di azoto ci sta ma nella norma come consigliato

I wouldn't say this is an expert opinion but yes leaves losing colour means that your plant is trying to save up on nutrients because it doesn't have enough to go around for everyone. Your plant has started the flowering stage so increasing nutrients and watering is very important because they are most thirsty + hungry at this stage. Most nutrient instructions double the amount of nutrients from the veg stage to the bloom/flowering stage, so I suggest you do the same. Don't worry, it will recover in no time :) Happy Growing.

Because the lower older leaves are the ones showing the deficiency and by the looks I would definitely go with nitrogen for sure. Hope this helps.
