Why are leaves yellowing?

[Curtis4661]

Hi, my outdoor plants seem to be yellowing and I am not sure why. They are just going into flowering, but where yellowing before that. I have not given them any nutes yet, but I will be soon. Does anyone know why they seem to be yellowing? They are also flowering slow.

Its starving..like a hungry lion in a small cage

as said above feed them asap,those huge plants have ate every nutrient out of the soil & are starving,the yellow is lack of nitrogen,you can buy cheap fertilizer at Lowes for a 10 spot & fix em up quick.

I have alaksa fish fertilizer which is 5-1-1 that I can use to give them nitrogen. Should I give them nitrogen every day until they have recovered?

I wouldn't feed them everyday,if they require watering 4 times a week I would feed them every other watering for a few waterings & slowly switch over to bloom nutrients after u get good color back,the stuff u have now is good 4 veg but not so good 4 budding,it will bring the green back

Yep. You have some nice plants, they just need some love. Pull all that yellow shit off and look into lollipopping techniques. Dont over feed to compensate now. Just do recommended dose

I agree with the feed it theory. But just something else to consider. If you are letting the soil dry out a little to much in between feeding/watering the plant will start robbing what it needs from lower fan leaves. Generally when this happens the plant chooses to rob the lower/inner leaves that receive less light. And once a leave goes yellow its been my experience they never get better/green again. As long as you get it under control you'll be OK. The others possibility would be it being root bound. If that's the case at this time of year that's a problem. With the on set of flowering its a bad time to do that. So I wouldn't recommend doing that. If this were the case I'd set the base of those pots in some sort of medium with its own drainage to allow some new root growth in the base of the plant.

From what I can see that soil looks bone dry!

If your able, re-pot into larger pots with nice new fresh soil. Plants will love you for it but dont play around when doin it and give them a nice water after. Add some ash and coals or Potash as the plants love this in the flowering stage.

Your nearly there! GL

I'd sink those big bad bitches directly in the ground with new amended N rich soil, feed um and sit back and watch um explode in the growth. Here soon once they start showing signs of flowering I'd look into some good flowering food. Such as Jacks bloom booster. That'd fix um up nice.

Water-feed-water-feed etc, whats the dosage instructions say on the bottle ?

yeah you need to get on the ball there before the whole thing is yellow....

 

[LegalizeNature420]

Do you not have a balanced NPK fertilizer? That's what I provide my ladies when they are in transition stage. If you give them only high nitrogen at this stage, it might delay flowering; conversely, giving a high phosphorous fert might pamper your deficiency.

I usually mix 3TBL of Big Bloom (6-4-4) and 1TBL of Tiger Bloom(2-8-4) per gallon/water = 20-20-16

holy shit, 12 different answers...i suggest you google "how to grow marijuana" and read, educate yourself, make your own decisions and diagnosis.

 

[Diabolical666]

No not really. These are all good answers to the problem and along the same lines of being the same answer. All these will work

More than one way to skin a cat.

This a FORUM by the way. I suggest you read and educate yourself on what that is.

All the answers were the same answer - give more nitrogen. transplanting would be good too, if possible.
