4th week flowering today

richard805 · Mar 28, 2013

just an update on my grow. it's been 4 weeks to the day since flipping 12/12.. so how they look?

as you noticed some of my leaves are yellowing up.. why is this? im feeding fox farm trio {grow big, big bloom and tiger bloom} also some cal mag.. they are under 600 watt hps light in a tent...

look great..but you sure you counting right? looks like theyre dying off already.

what strain? og kush?

Some of the fan leaves fall off ( if not most) during the flowering stage. Nothing to be alarmed of unless the leaves by the buds are yellowing.

If its only 1 month of 12/12 you probably need to feed them more. Might be short on N or Mg its something thats mobile. Assuming ph and EC of your soil is ok, I would up the amount of your grow formulae a little bit.

What does it mean if the leaves by the buds are yellowing?

Wizard671 · Mar 28, 2013

Nice plants. I would slow down on the nutes to every other watering session

I think your problem is Nitrogen defficiency, Magnesium, Sulphur, Iron, Calcium wouldn't hurt either. Yellowing is symptomatic of flowers that have utilized their reserves of Nitrogen. You are too early into flower to be this color, green is needed for growth and energy production. PH may be off or your strain has a big appetite.....what are you feeding them at? The plants look productive and vigorous.....this can cause early yellowing because they ate all their food quickly.....at this rate everything will be yellow and flowers will not grow to potential.

If the leaves on the buds are yellowing its a nute/ph problem because those are new leaves that are yellowing. Did you flush before switching over? What type of nutes you using?

Dr. Skunk Bud · Mar 29, 2013

those are nice looking plants

VaporTrail · Mar 29, 2013

The girls look nice are you sure they are only 4 weeks are they auto strains?. They are using up the Nitrogen thats why your leafs are yellowing. If your only in week 4 then you need to add a bit of Grow Big. Its not nute burn they look very healthy just not enough Nitrogen.

zack66 · Mar 29, 2013

What vapor said. I use N right up until the last week or two before harvest.

I feed them 1/2 doses the amount the fox farm feeding schedule asks for.. The 1 tsp of Cali magic also.. Should I up the amount to 3/4 doses?

I have to water them every 2 days.. I wait until the pots are bone dry and that's every two days....

not sure where you are in the foxfarm feeding schedule.

But ... for at least a few waterings replace the blooms with the grow.
ie if the schedule says 3, 2, 2 for Big Bloom, Grow, Tiger Bloom and you normally use half of it. Then use half of 7 of Just the grow formulae.

Your basic plant health looks fine just low in N. Increasing the ratio of Grow should fix that.
In the future I would look at switching from CaliMagic to Botanicare CalMag, since it uses only Calcium Nitrate as its Calcium source and has more N.

killachris · Mar 29, 2013

its odd, usually fox farms feeding schedule tells you to overfeed.

OGKush:D · Mar 29, 2013

That looks really good, keep it up. ;-)

VaporTrail · Mar 29, 2013

I'm in week 5 of flower using Fox Farm nutes in soil my Tuts are just chowing the Nitrogen. With other strains I usually dont have to use Big Grow after week 3. But Richard keep it up and Great Job your gonna have some nice big dank buds. :leaf:
