I think it's something to do with the 4ml per litre of fish mix you are feeding a flowering plant. Fish mix is a very strong nitrogen rich product that should not be used during flower to this degree. If it has been noticed 2 weeks ago that your leaf is going yellow that would have been the time to address it. Just calm down with the feeds. Your EC must be insane at those levels of fertilizer. Fish mix and bloom. 4ml of bloom 4 ml of fish mix and 1ml of PK is nuts..

podría ser un exceso de fertilizantes que esta causando un bloqueo en la absorción de otros y se muestran como deficiencias, dejaría de aplicar nitrógeno en este momento como te comentaron anteriormente y le daría solamente agua sin alimento durante unos días, luego agregaría potasio y fósforo junto con calmag de a poco para ver como reacciona

Defoliate the most yellow and examine underneath the canopy for any issue. Most plants will yellow and drop leaves as they grow. It's a nutrient/moisture compensation thing that they do. Some phenotypes more than others.

Sad droopy leaves but steady growth One of my plants has been perpetually droopy and has had swollen & wilting leaves. Have given it less water and have always waited longer for it’s soil to dry out but it seems to still be unhappy with me. Any advice would be great ( feed ppm around 600 and 5.9 Ph this week)

Help validating what this is My plant seems to have developed some kind of deficiency/excess. I researched and think that it's CalMag deficiency, added CalMag to my nutes (1ml/l). Just wanted to check in with the experts here to get a second opinion. The growth seems slow I'm afraid I may have stunted her 🤦

A bunch of different leaf symptoms appeared over just a few hours, can you spot the issue in my detailed diaries and solve the mystery?Everything was well, until over just a few hours they developed all kinds of symptoms. I have 2 diaries here for the grow, the 2 called “Grow #2” and I am very detailed about what has been done day to day. So please have a look and see if you know what might be happening

Heavy fast yellowing I flushed my plant because of too high ppm reading from run off and now she seems to be going all yellow. Is this normal for this stage of the grow (all trichomes still white and small buds) or is this a definite nutrients deficiency during flowering?

Nute Deficiency or New Leaves?!Thoughts if this yellowing may be nute deficiency? Or are these just new leaves and I am concerned about nothing and I’m babying them since it’s my 1st grow? Both plants are about to be 2 weeks post sprout. Both are in 5 gallon fabric pots with layered soil (FFHF on top of FFOF)
