5 weeks into flowering, yellowing and dropping leaves.

Hi All

I've just entered my 5 week of flowering, all has been going well up until about a week ago. This is my first grow

Grown in Coco/Perlite Mix
Watered every 4 days, when the soil is pretty much dry.

1st Water 10-25-25 2/3 strength feed with 1 crushed Cal/Mag vitamin tablet, and one teaspoon of honey. PH 5.9

2nd water plain water. PH 5.8

One week ago I noticed yellowing, I didn't panic as I hear that leaves will drop into late flowering. But to be sure I flushed and gave a full strength feed. I also gave a foliar spray with 1/2 tsp of honey, a couple of pinches of some epsom salts and seaweed feed in 1L of water/ each plant got half.

I've not seem to have stopped the yellowing and leaf dropping and I'm getting concerned.

1st Plant PIC 0014,0015,0016 is a Sativa, SHe has slight Purpling Stems but is healthier than the other plant, I'm getting yellowing and drying of the fan leaves, Bud leaves are nice and dark green, trics are forming nicely but I'm getting lime green leaves developing elsewhere on the plant, with dry spot forming between viens.

2nd plant and unknown variety 0017,0018,0019,0020, very spindly looking but lots of heads forming. Main bud leaves are healthy but all other leaves are wilting and are looking very yellow. Not a huge amount of trics forming.

I noticed that the hairs on the 2nd plant are starting to brown, this is normal I hear?

My heart says that I'm getting nutrient lockout or perhaps I overfed a week ago, I've just flushed but I'd like some help with diagnosis and my next feeding regime.

The big leaves turning yellow is normal....your doing fine just keep going. The buds should fatten up in the last 2 weeks, just make sure you don't give it too strong of nutes.

Thanks man, you put my mind to rest a bit, after the flush I did a quick foliar spray to clean the leaves off a wee bit, They looked pretty shiney after I sprayed them with the honey water. Won't be doing that again.

I've just rewatered with 5.8 molasses 1/2 strength 10-25-25

And I'm just going to ride this one out, although I cant help but feel that my second plant is going to end up with zero leaves left just a bunch of buds, its canibalising itself at quite a rate.

Good to hear that they'll put on weight in the next couple of weeks, exciting times.

I'm loving this Geek growing, I've learned so much with this grow, shame 2 of my plants were fellas I had a mean looking W.Widow that would have been a beauty
