Nitrogen deficiency but why?

Mike_269started grow question 2y ago

My Critical Auto is more and more wilting and yellowing. Most likely due to nitrogen deficiency. Some have red tips on . PH of soil was normal, how can I make sure that it's not nutrient lock anyway? Should I flush it nonetheless? Feed it more? More info in my diary.

To me it looks like you are almost ready to harvest, in late flower it is normal to see deficiencies in the older fan leaves because the plant is using the nutrients stored in the leaves to boost flower production, if it would be deficiencies I'm sure the bigger sugar leaves would show the same symptoms, as I can see in your photo the sugar leaves are pretty green and healthy, personally I would not add nutrients, you can try but I don't think it is necessary, hope this helps! Happy growing!

What could be causing this?I'm experiencing yellowing, browning and crisping on some leaves, but only on the main colas so far. I have checked the PH in and out. In has always been perfect, but the PH of the run-off was 5.8 so I'm flushing to rule out nute lockout. Anything else it could be??

Upward curling of leaves One of my plants has started to have it's lower leaves curl upwards & started to go a yellow tint that's harder to see in my images. Yellow tint is starting higher up as well I think, but the curling is only on the low leaves. Is it nutrient defficiency, heat stress, wind stress?

Nute Burn? Or something else?I'm seeing a lot of yellowing and dead/curling leaves on my girls. I thought it was nute burn so my last 3 waterings were nute-free, CalMag Only and pH'd. It seems to be getting worse. Could this be something else? Any advice is greatly appreciated
