1st grow DP Brainstorm Feminized

[ozzy6282]

Whats up guys...this forum has been very informative and I decided to grow my own after reading pages and pages worth of grow journals.

I have 1 feminized Brainstorm going right now it is 4 weeks into flowering. I'm using a 400w HPS and FF nuts.

I included some pics of some lower fan leaves...they've been drying out and yellowing. I've been battling fungus gnats but i wonder if they are to blame? I've been using neem oil to keep them away but it doesn't seem to stop the spotting and drying out. I think i might be giving too much nuts but i'm not sure this is my first time. any opinions?

The yellowing on the leaves has been getting worse and now they're drying up and its spreading to the other leaves. I've been using ff nuts so i don't think it some sort of deficiency. If anything I may have been over doing it. I'm gonna just give it phed water for a few days. Not sure whats going on...the buds still growing nicely but I don't want the plant to die before i can harvest it. Could it be a bug problem? over nuts? Can someone offer some help?

Too little nutes maybe then?

Yellow is N, the brown spots are Mg... if its crawling up from the bottom its probably deficiency.

Hows your root mass?

my bro just called and said its still getting worse...I have him taking care of my plant while i'm finishing up school and he's getting worried. It started with drying a the bottom leaves, and now its spreading to all the leaves. He said even the bud looks like its yellowing and drying out.

Can someone please help? I had a gnat problem so I don't know if its the roots that are causing the problem, I was also over feeding since i was following the FF schedule exactly...since then i have been giving phed water for about 3 waterings and its not clearing up. I need some advice guys this is my first grow.

I dunno man,

If it aint lockout,

and its creeping up from the bottom,

its probably still deficiency...

They're almost done arendt they?

This happens when they start focusing on flower production,

If the nute reserves arent good enough, they steal from the rest of the plant, bottom up.

Have him lift the plant outta the pot to check on those roots.

Thanks for posting. I was hoping you would give some more info on amount of veg time and anything else that might be informative. Keep of the good work looks great!

i vegged till the plant was about 12 inches...it was a little over 4 weeks. Bro says the drying is clearing up. Going home this weekend so I'll be able to get some pics and actually see my plants.
