Lots of dying leaves 30 days into flowering

[kvnbeach]

Hey bro, my plants are on day 35 of flower and I have the same problem. Except my ph level is 6.5. The thing is, it's only the fan leaves on the bottom that are turning yellow. All the leaves on my colas are nice green. I am talking to a guy, Trichome Fiend, and we are going over some stuff to see why. I think it might be because I got a big root ball at the bottom of my 5gallon pot. I watered today. I poured three quarters of a gallon into the pot and none drained out. And I agree, when you go to flower nutes, it has more phosphorous than Nitrogen, I am using Adv. Nutes Sensi- bloom part A & B

Sensi Grow part A: 3-0-0 Sensi-Grow Part B: 2-2-5
Sensi-Bloom Part A:4-0-4 Sensi-Bloom part B: 1-5-6

I am using Miracle grow dirt and a 400w hps to flower with. My temps are 65'-75'f and my humidity is between 30-40%


I am only flowering 1 plant right now. This is my first time and I have never seen this done. She really grew a bunch the last 2 weeks. It took 16 days before I saw any white pistuls and then off it went. Now it seems it might be slowing down. My friend told me they probaly wont get much taller but they will start filling out. Thats good cause I got a cola that is 10" long and as thick as my wrist. These pics were takin yesterday. 2-7-12

well i just fed them yesterday is it to soon to give them some n guano or grow? And how much heres some pics

Fish Emulsion is a good choice as an N source for both veg and as an addition to bloom nutes. 1 tablespoon per gal for the next few weeks in addition to what your feeding them now would probably do them right.....

And all the plants pictured in this thread seem to suffer the same issue, bloom nutes w/o enough N for proper growth. There is nothing natural at all about a plant shedding fan leaves during any phase of growth.....

First off I am using go nutes.According to them my ph level in soil is not much of an issue. Though, I am not so sure.I have been feeding organic teas since veg.Lots of life in my soil. Have followed Uncle Bens advice on keeping the soil from drying out.Does my soil ph at 7, 5 weeks into flowering really matter with organics? I watered last night with phd water at 6.1. I dont have a good meter. Though, did test the run off which said 6.8 should I be concered? I dont really want to mess around with the soil too much being this far in. As far as the leaves yellowing added some alaskan fish and seaweed the yellow leaves starting going back to green the next day.So much for not adding any N during flower. thanks cowboy on the input you are 100% correct! Its nice to get some good advice on here. Thanks again. Dozer

99.99% of the time it is not ph in soil esp with the nice buds and top growth.

Those leafs are gone but listen to CL and feed N well into bloom..... or MAKE IT RAIN!!!!!!!

Did u buy this alaskan fish and just put it in the soil. Or does it come as a liquid. This must be the fish emulsion. Were do I purchase it? grow shops? Plus, Cowboy, you said a tablespoon not a teaspoon, just making sure. I still dont have any water draining from my pot. I think I have a big root ball in ther. Should I buy a bigger container and add dirt to the bottom? Should I stick a screw driver in the drain holes and loosen the roots up(that doesnt seem right) or leave it. I am still gonna use the fish emulsion you recommended.

Someone said my soil ph being 7 was bad for my grow yet the buds are cranking any input? Should I be concerned?

 

[Bonzi Lighthouse]

Not with the PH... They are a little nute burned though.

 

[dozer777]

Most feed stores carry the alaskan fish fertilizer I use king neptunes it seemed to work overnight more green already Good luck

 

[dozer777]

Yeah gave them a tea the other night with more n then i should have but, they seem okay going to just water next time with phd water only

 

[dozer777]

So my soil ph is okay?Should I keep phing the water at 6ish? Or take more drastic measures like altering the soil. I do have bone and blood meal but, thought it takes forever to really do anything. How about small doses of vinegar? Really want to get the most out of my grow a few tweaks is worth a good end result for me. Thanks

What's this tea u are giving it? Is this an English thing?

 

[dozer777]

You got to be kidding right? Do some reading look in organics go from there

 

[cowboylogic]

Your welcome Dozer, glad I could help. And 7 is fine for your mediums pH.

And yes KVN tablespoon, not teaspoon......

Actually, fuck it. I will not read it. And after all the silly questions you asked. I ask maybe the most simple question on this thread and that's how you treat a person. Wow, and we have your parents to thank for that. Wat a dick.

 

[dozer777]

Hey bud your question was quite similar to mine. Before I ask questions on here I first google it and if I am not satisfied with the info I then do a search on here. Then if I am still not sure then I ask for help.You should try this approach also! You should think about growing up a little talking shit about peoples parents. Just another internet warrior! Grow up bud!!!

There's only one possible meaning when someone mentions giving their plant tea unless the reader assumes the writer is an r-tard.

 

[dozer777]

Hey James was that a dig directed at me? I thought I gave him pretty decent advice to look up TEA in organics.I mean anyone use lipton on their weed? Dozer
