Why do leaves get yellow and die?
ultra_violetstarted grow question 1y ago
I noticed that some leaves (mostly lower ones) are getting yellow and also have some spots. Eventually they degrade. Is it normal (4th week of bloom) or is it an indicator that something is wrong (deficiencies, nutrient burn, not enough light?)

looks like normal, because the are not getting direct light (: would not worry! adjust ph to 6.4 and feed some N 🌱💚

Hello mate, you have an issue with Ca/Mg caused by a pH fluctuation or a misfeeding of Calmag product. The first cause is often link to the rate of Ca/Mg in the water used to watering the plant, if you use organic feeding you must have the rigth rate of these nutrient that is 3/1 or 4/1.
Good luck and happy journey!

Yes, I believe she's hungry and resorting to starting to use up her mobile nutrients stored in the leaf tissue. This is normal and slightly early to see it but not unheard of. A little liquid kelp is good in bloom and may help boost some n too. They still need some N during flower just don't give crazy amounts to avoid grassy flavor. or any all-purpose bloom fert should have some N as well in the right ratio. if not in flower I would say feeed some fish hydroylasate.

Looks like she didn't have enough nitrogen going into flower, usually the lower leaves will do this. Your using nutes now so it's probably something lacking a few weeks back.

Overfeeding?Is this the first sign of nutrients burn? Some tips of the leaves are turning yellowish and two leaves are starting to make dark dots...maybe too much nitrogen? 🤔The temperatures in my grow box are a little bit low, but I don't think it's the case. The ph is regular.3y ago

2 autos with crispy feeling sad looking leaves, how can I help them? (more info in diary pl & crit)2 of my autos have been growing leaves that feel crispy and look deformed. I have been watering when the top 5 cm of the soil dries, but I fear maybe I fed them too much nutrients. The temp has also been on the high side (30C 80F). What could be wrong and what can I do for them?Leaves. Curl up

overnight yellow leaves with brown spotsThese leaves (about halfway up on #1) turned yellow with brown spots overnight. I didn't check the soil before giving it nutrients two nights ago so I was wondering if it has to do with overfeeding. The soil is damp and kinda packed together. Any idea what's going on?Week 8

Leaves continue to get yellow and fall off. Plant dying, bud looks okay.Still having issues with my plant. Leaves are getting more and more yellow and 2 have fallen off. Pretty far from harvest still for the leaves to be getting this yellow. Temps in tent are 18-22 c with leds 200w act wattage. Overwatered once but I doubt it would cause this. Ideas?6y ago

I need help troubleshooting weak plants! I think the clover might be the culprit but what do I do?Can anyone tell me what’s going on with these plants and what I can do? This is my first grow. I can already tell the seeds are growing slow because other seeds I planted in smaller pots are growing much faster. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!Leaves. Curl down
