Leaves arent burnt they have been sapped of all their nutrients. I wasnt providing enough Nitrogen. Those leaves will be goners but hopefully it will not spread any further.

Yeah so sorry about the lack of updates. I got kinda backed up but still got the pics in. I will lay em out as usual
7/9 - Day 57 - Day 18 Flowering
I am having major yellowing of lower leaves on Sun Shine and too a lesser effect on Toasted One as well. As I have been saying, it is a Nute Def. Plants are showing no sign of Nute Burn and they are organic nutes so I decided to up the dosage.
I am now up to:
1 Tbsp Earth Juice Grow
1 Tbsp Earth Juice Bloom
1 Tbsp Blackstrap Molasses
Hopefully I will see a decline in the progression.
On a lighter note, buds see uneffected and are still steadily growing thick pistols and fatter buds.
As soon as I get this nute thing sorted out for Toasted One I will switch it over to flower and then begin germ of my next batch.

I have trimmed back some of the dying yellow leaves. Actually if you apply the smallest ammount of pressure they come right off. Those they held I left, those that fell...well fell.
Problem doesnt seem to be getting any better for either plant but isnt getting progressively worse either. I noticed that just about every fan leaf has a RED STEM. If I fix the problem will the stems turn green again and if so is that a accurate indicator of when I finally have found the winning combination.
pH is controlled before every watering with a digital tester. So that is not an issue.
As always though, Sun Shine's buds are still getting bigger and aside of yellow seems happy.
Toasted One is getting bigger but my dumb ass bumped the light and it fell and split the top of the stem. Not bad but it is noticeable, I dont think it is going to cause any problems.

Well the yellowing continues but I THINK it may be slowing down. Buds are getting fatter still.
Not much to report

All is well, nothing seems to be getting worse but I have yet to see anything get better.
I do have Exciting News though, even though the Toasted One is still on a 18/6 light schedule with 6500k temp lights, she has emerged several distinct pistols. That right, this baby sexed itself during veg which makes me pleased. I will switch her over to 12/12 tomorrow.

Have you seen the Dr. Bud style ?? You should do a SOG on your next one, I would leave a few lower buds when you harvest and reveg them and clone the shit out them girls. I've followed his steps and have some fire going right now and don't listen to cats about HID being better over on ICMAG's forums the owner of H3ad Seeds explained how MH & HPS have a lot of wasted light since it's not directly in the spectrum used by chlorophyl and CFL's are in the perfect range.....

Sun Shine and Toasted One are just doing their thing. I fear yellowing is still moving up the plant even with increased nutes. Symptoms are worse on Sun Shine than Toasted One.
What is somewhat interesting is that I took a couple clippings off Toasted One to clone. It was expendable foliage that was getting enough light. It did however have minor signs of symptoms of nute deficiency.

Yellowing has progressed nearly to the top of the Sun Shine now. I fear that my flowering will be cut weeks short.
I have taken every precaution I can think of to correct this problem. I started adding Earth Juice Grow to my Bloom mixes to add extra N. I added even more when it did not help. I am controlling pH before watering. I have tried to use the higher end of the suggested pH range to see if plant prefers more basic. I have lowered pH to the lower end of the suggested pH range to see if plant prefers more acidic.
I just dont want to have to harvest plant after just over 1 month flowering.
Toasted One is still showing symptoms but not half as bad. She actually seems fairly happy.
The Clones look sad. I have tried mixing some of the rooting agent (Olivia's Rooting Gel) to help but it just seems to be slowly deteriorating. I guess I will need to sprout some more seeds. It's a cryin shame though because plant I took them from are 100% female.

Hey Brotha, I been watching your grow a bit. Your plant seems to be doing the same (or similar) thing as mine. I noticed you were on day 33 flower, and I said hmmmm....I looked back in my hand written journal and sure enough day 33 flower said "plants are really starting to yellow on me".
I'm still not sure what is up. But I'm on day 56 now. Although most of my leaves went yellow and have been falling off, the buds have not stopped growing and pushing out hairs.
So idk if its normall or if they're not quite happy? I thought that perhaps my Ph slowly drifted out of range but idk. But its almost harvest time and the buds look killer even if the leaves are yellow or gone.
Anyway, hang in there. I think you can still get some good buds off her.
Good luck bro & let us know how she doin.
