the leaf yellow
Weedxczstarted grow question 3y ago
I have a problem with yellowing leaves. Yellowing appears immediately after germination. And it continues until harvest. I thought it was the fertilizers. Fertilizers that are old. I threw away the old fertilizers and bought new ones. But the problem still persists.

Looks like overwatering to me. Let it dry out more between waterings/feedings, see if that sorts it out.

Yellowing starter leaves usually means overwatering. If this isn't the case I was think your light is a bit too close because based on your ohotos, the nodes are all really close together.

Ongoing brown and yellow patches forming in week 6 of flowerI've also noticed today a couple leaves looked wet, so tried to wipe it off but that did nothing. I took 2 pictures of the same leaf at slightly different angles to see the shine. It's only the skunk effected (closed similar question prematurely in skunks diary)6y ago

Day 20 Flower. Leaves curlingLeaves curled over 12 hour light cycle. Ph 6.0. Ppm 950.
I have been battling ph drop for a week. Lowered Ppm to 900 from 1100. Seems to have stabilized the ph and now the leaves are doing this.
I’m looking to do the day 21 strip of most leaves tomorrow. Should I be concerned?Leaves. Curl up

Underwatering Issue or something else?I haven’t been tracking exactly how much I’ve been watering. I usually water until run off. I’ve had to water daily because the coco loco has been drying out quickly. Is the yellowing seen in photos from 4/28 due to underwatering?
I’ve been pHing between 6.2-6.4Week 4
