Fade or deficiency

Tterpz · 2025-08-30T17:03:08-0600

Start of week 5 (day 29) of flowering

Flowering time is 55-60 days

lower fan leaves started to yellow and die off slowly moving up don’t know if it’s a deficiency or normal fade… day time temps are around 85° F with the night time temps being around 74° F. In 5 GAL buckets using pro mix. Checked the ph of the soil today all 3 are in the 6s so I’m ruling nutrient lockout out. Using Fox farm liquid nutrient line up (dirty dozen). But have been cutting everything by 1 tsp. Are these girls hungry or just showing autumn colors? Any deficiencies maybe they need more phosphorus which is contained in the tiger bloom that I’ve been cutting by 1 tsp for week 10 on the feeding chart (card provided in attachments) should I hit them with another dosage of week 9 to ensure they get the nutrients they need ?

Tough call . . Tops look good. Could be anything, over watering, not getting enough light down there, pH off a little... I mean, they're taking a hit for the team. No?

I usually water every 3 days I’m in 5 gal fabric

Yes

That and maybe some magnesium

Yea right now I’m following the card Fox farm provided last feeding was given for week 10 section which has 2 tsp of tiger bloom (phosphorus) which I cut back and been giving 1 tsp next feeding I’m going to give them the recommended dose

I was told by the breeder that this strain feeds aggressive on my feeding chart the phosphorus nutrient recommendation (which is tiger bloom) is recommended at 2TSP which I’ve been giving at 1tsp hopefully a full dose gets her back up and going

are you in flowering then yes, feed her a grow feed

Tterpz · 2025-08-30T22:35:35-0600

Yes today is day 30 of flower week 5 (day 2)

I’m gonna hit her with a week 9 dosage and up the phosphorus nutrient (tiger bloom) by another tsp making it the recommended amount hopefully she’ll bounce back then

its allways best to feed a plant grow nutes for the streach ,2 weeks of 12/12 and t give at least one grow feed during flowering too, that stops nitrogen deficancy. extra magnesium and calcium at same time is allways wellcomed

Grow big which is designed for vegetative growth with high nitrogen (6-4-4 NPK), and Tiger Bloom®,which is formulated for flowering but also contains nitrogen (2-8-4 NPK) to support overall plant health. So I’m stick between giving her just a slight higher dose of the tiger bloom or give them a dose of week 9 that has all of these included

it may have all that an ordinary plant needs, btyou have a hungy plant there, give it a grow feed nstead of a flower feed, you won't regretvit, then go back to the full week 9 was it, feeding schedual. don't forget that the people who make the stuff want youto use as much as possable, but you rarely need more then half the feed they sugest

It could just be where the fans are using more energy than they are creating due to a lack of light down there. So they get re-purposed and fall off.

If they don't fall off then it's more likely a deficiency.

Edit, that was based on picture 2. Picture 3 shows some of those are clearly getting light, so it's not that

I’m on day 30 of flower the (breeders flowering time suggests 55-60 days of flowering) which would be starting week 11 on the feeding chart. I fed her once during week 10 which pulled the main liquid nutrient that contains nitrogen (grow big) out of the mix as I was already cutting the dosage in half I believe I may have pulled it way too early causing the plant to pull stored nutrients. The last time they got a feeding that contained everything needed was about 2 weeks ago. So I agree with you they are hungry as hell and I’m going to give them some veg nutes that contain nitrogen which is what I pulled originally

Last Saturday they were nice and green Wednesday night they were nice and green with purple phenos starting to show
Fast-forward to Thursday 8/28 they began to slowly yellow from the bottom
Saturday morning 8/30 was when I went back in and seen the yellowing continuing up the plant some fan leaves that were way on the bottom of the plant below canopy where dried up and dead, followed by some fan leaves that were some yellow orange and purple
