Having some problems with plants ( PICS)

Well from the start, all the plants were slightly turning yellow here and there. I suspected the soil was the cause, which is miracle grow :roll: but it has worked perfectly, many times before. Now its in week 5-6 of flowering and it seems everytime i water the ladies they get even more nutrient burnt and now the tips are curling and such. The 2 questions are:

1. will the plants still grow properly with these yellow leaves or if all the leaves fall off and just have the leaves surrounding the buds still doing work?

2. is there anyway to fix this, this far into the grow, lol. As stated above, i dont think "flushing" is an option here. It just seems to make them worse when watered.

HELP.. i dont want an early harvest!! :-|

They appear to show signs of nitrogen burn "because of tips"
If your using MG nutes then you have to learn to balance the soil, MG causes salts to build. I heard that on this site when I was having issues.
Flush with plenty clean water and wait a few watrering cycles to nute.
Some might not agree, their just like a$!holes

Errr....no, that is not 'nitrogen burn'. It's clear that your plants are lacking in something as they look pale. Don't listen to morons like this who have no idea what they're talking about. You're the asshole.

Look at the post, 5-6 weeks flowering, the big leaves could look pale because the plant is dropping them off. This may indicate the plant is using what it needs and the added nutrients would be to high. Say what you want, I got the plants to prove it.

What bullshit. The plants are FUCKING HUNGRY! They don't need less because they are eating the leaves up, they need MORE!! It is normal around this stage to be yellowing, but they are still hungry. Because of the blatantly wrong info you have just given I can now see that you really are just full of shit. Go away and learn! You are teaching people the wrong things dumbass!

People come here as i did. I watched many people get downright ridiculed because of their methods. I took everything logical I learned and it works great for me. I polite "I dont agree with him.... but this is my opinion." People are just to insultive and ready to fight for their opinions. Not pothead actions if you ask me.

Basically i water everytime i "see" the soil is damn near dry and i water until there is drainage/runoff coming out of the bucket, just to know its FULLY watered. I only water when needed. I do have this oldschool ph/light/moisture meter but it isnt' THAT reliant. I'm more comfortable with just the FEEL of things so to speak. And BTW i use NOOO nutrients.. the reason i brought it up was because of the soil!! lol

epsom salts!? i dunno? a little help would be awesome!??!??!?:blsmoke:

i have some liquid nutrients 10-15-10

sshould i do that? i dunnoo heLP!!!!!!!? help save some good plants please!! :l

I second they need nutes man, N, Fe, and Mg are what I see, if flushing seems to make it worst, you need more nutes at the correct PH for your medium........JR

people say it is easiest growing in soil but i disagree, if the mix isn't right it can lead to no end of problems.

these plants defo have a couple more weeks to go til they are done. that problem could be a number of things: ph, lack of nitrogen, too much phosphate, too much pottasium, possibly even too much nitrogen.
try coco next time and you will know exactly what your plants are using and when they are using it, easier to find out what they are missing out on. mg soil can have little capsules in it that time release nutes into the mix, really inconsistant stuff.

good luck anyway hope the yget better.

No one has answered my 1 question though.. Will these plants continue to grow with "Yellow" leaves?????????????????? or will they just die/early harvest?!!? HELP

growth will be slowed way down, they are having a hard time making the energy they need, you are there. are they growing at all? JR

ok..ill try to be less of an asshole with my answer then a couple others here...but yes....the yellowing of the leaves is normal.when its flowering it sucks up as much nutes as it can from anywhere it can..it starts pulling sugars and N from the big fan leaves.which can turn them yellow and even kill off a few fan leaves.this wont happen on every strain but it will on some.and if your 2 weeks from harvest...only a "dumbass" would tell you to add nutes....2 weeks before harvest is time to start flushing.i dont think its 2 weeks away IMO tho.i would def flush it at least one good time...you can flush it at any time and its good for it...but only if your using ph'ed water...it can make it worse when you flush is you have shitty water...when the plant reaches its final stages of life...who gives a shit if you lose a fan leaf or too...your not losing too much...but dont go and feed the hell out of them...then you WILL burn them and get nute lockout...which is what flushing takes care of.if i was you..id use molasses for the last couple of feedings...which will fatten up the bud,give it a lil more weight..and give it the sugars it needs for flowering...while giving it a shot of P and PH...i wouldnt go with much more then that if they are almost finished...do you want to smoke a bunch of chemicals?then give it a week or two of good flushings then harvest them...they all look great...read the plant and so some research....and be careful of those with little knowledge that use this site to troll and insult people....even if they are wrong...but great plants man

Lol, at your stage yellowing leaves are normal, as jrinlv said, if after flushing you dont see an improvement. That responce was a respectful responce a very valid one. I believe we should try the least dangerous thing FIRST. Anytime I get a little curling burn I back off nutes. It works for me, plus, at that stage I really start cutting back on nutes anyway, most just cut off nutes all together. If we slowly step up our nutes is it common sence to slowlt back them off. Could we shock our plants by cold turkey to nutes. That is a question I would like to know, besides for all my non believers, look at the pic on the left, thats my smallest cola from this year.
