@soma666 Yeh mate the oldest leaves will usually die off once the buds start developing. Don't pull them off until they are yellow as the plant will utilise any energy before they die

Light burn?I noticed the tips of the top leaves are becoming paler, even slightly yellow. Could this be light stress/burn? My LEDs were approx. 30 cm from the canopy, now moved them up 15 cm.

Yellow Leaves Autoflower Novice grower, Outdoor. Started in a 70/30 coco-coir to perlite mix. Forgot Worm Castings until 22nd June, implemented with top dressing of Gaia Green Power Bloom and All Purpose. Overwatered at stem for a week or so. I suspect it's either an N, P ,or K deficiency (nuteburn?)

Yellowing Hi! It looks like my grandaddy purple is starting to yellow, in my last week of veg (7). Could it be caused by too small of a pot (3gallons), this is my 4th grow, first time growing only one plant using scrog. Maybe an upgraded pot before I flower? Thanks!

These three girls are all wilting and/or barely growing. I'd say over-watering except I've only been giving maybe a quart then waiting till the soil dries a little bit. Not too much tho. Could it be a nutrient problem already?

Leaf yellowing Hi all. In the last 48 hours there has been a few lower leaves which have lightened in colour to a yellow. The whole leaf has changed at the same time so I’m not sure if this is an indication of an issue or if the leaves are being drained before the final ripening. Thanks 😊
