Yellowing leaves mid-flower, sulphur lockout or just normal progression?
sir_rootstarted grow question 2mo ago
Noticed a few of the smaller lower leaves on a couple of the plants are doing this. It is still very few, so I am not quite panicking yet. I am going to recheck the pH on my res. No nutes, hot soil. Could this just be the natural progression of the plant as it builds buds?

Hey sir_root!
At week 11, seeing some yellowing on the lower leaves is usually just the natural "fade" as the plant pulls mobile nutrients like Nitrogen toward the buds. Since you’re running hot soil with no added nutes, she’s likely just reaching the end of the soil's fuel supply. Sulfur issues usually start at the top on new growth, so if it's just a few bottom leaves, it's definitely not a lockout. Just keep an eye on your pH as you planned, but it sounds like she’s just ripening up perfectly.
Happy Growing, Growmie!

Nitrogen is a mobile nutrient. Your plant is taking it out of the lower less productive leaves to give it to the new growth on top. Leaves store nutrients and water, the plant will reallocate that as needed. If you are in vegetative stage adding a quick nitrogen rich nutrient that is available for immediate uptake (mineral) will help, or feed directly with foliar spray. For long term, add a tablespoon of used coffee grounds to soil as a top dressing and massage it into the top layer and water it in for slow release nitrogen.

White tips at the end. Brown patches. Leaves curling.
I've been feeding it 0.5L Advanced Nutrients Coco Big Buds.
The light was fairly close, at 30cm. I've raised the lights to 60cm.
It was also very humid, so I've opened the air vents .

Nute deficiency?Unsure what could be going on here so hoping some wiser heads could see me right as this is my first
My waters pH is on the high side (Just shy of 7). I fed around 150ml of water with 0.15 of Bio-Grow 3 days ago and since have been keeping the medium moist.
Advice is appreciated

1st grow yellow leaves and brown spotsLast two days some big fan leaves started to get yellow with brown spots. Im half way through flowering stage. Is that normal? Can it be nutrient deficiencies if some of these leaves are on top?? It's not overwatering for sure, I'm puzzled :(

Nutrient deficiency? Or just getting ready for harvest? Sister plant is very green (different strain, strawBerry cheesecake, last pic)Plant is Raspberry Kush, I’m assuming it’s because she is close to harvest and it’s sucking all the nutrients out. Also, looking up other raspberry kush diaries i’ve noticed they tend to end up pretty yellow. Was fed bloom nutes yesterday but noticed lots of yellowing today.

Fan leaf deficiencies during flower. To cut or not to cut?Day 85 Update: G13 has a ton of fan leaves turning fast. Pretty sure it's a PH issue. Should I wait until they're dead to trim them off or get rid of every fan leaf that is affected more than 50 percent of the leaf?
