Yellow Spots on Lower Leaves in Week 5 of Flowering – Nitrogen Deficiency?
Moondogzstarted grow question 1y ago
Hey friends, I have a problem with yellow spots on the lower leaves. People are saying it's nitrogen deficiency. It's currently week 5 of flowering, and I'm wondering if this is within normal limits and if I should just leave it as it is. Any advice on what to do?

To me, your pant is sufering from excess nitrogen and not enough potassium.
Add a P/K boooster to your line up, or increase the dosage if already using a P/K booster.
The clawing leaves are the clue to too much nitrogen.

My plants are 3 years old (counting from soaking the seeds) and they are growing really fast but the leaves are a little bit yellowish in the middle. Is this some kind of deficiency or maybe something else? I’m a newbie to this and need your help guys ;)Leaves. Color - Yellow

What happened to this seedling?This seedling out of 5 is the only one not looking good. Everything was the same for all of them, but this one took a turn for the worst. It's ok if it doesn't make it but I do want to know what you all think might have happened to prevent it in the future (or save it now)Week 2

Am I overwatering these seedlings? (Coco Coir) Please help, Thank you :)These seedlings are about 3 weeks old in Coco coir. I PH the water to 5.8-6.2 everytime. I was watering every 1-2 days as the top soil dried out. Have I been overwatering? How much/often should I water them at this stage and should I wait for them to perk up before transplant?Leaves.
