Yellow Spots on Lower Leaves in Week 5 of Flowering – Nitrogen Deficiency?
Moondogzstarted grow question 2y 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.

Should I cut the dried leaves at the bottom?Should I remove the dried leaf in the bottom? I was thinking that it might redirect unnecessary energy to the plant since the leaf might be too far gone to save. I was thinking of starting topping next week as well, when the fifth node start to show more.5y ago

Discolored Older Fan LeafI’ve noticed a couple of the older fan leaves have changed colors. These are also fan leaves that unfortunately get pushed up against the spacebucket walls. So I’m curious if this is normal from them being pressed up to the walls or is it a deficiency? Should they be removed?Week 8
