First Grow. 2weeks into Flowering.

14 week old plant. Bag seed. IDK the strain. 2 weeks into flowering 12/12.
Within the week, leaves have yellowed, and started falling off.
I havent been using any nutes this entire time. IDK if it has a deficiency or what.

yea if you havent feed it anything so far thats probably your problem. looks like its deficient in a multitude of areas. you have yellowing, purple veins, spotting and some other issues. these are problems you need to address quickly if you wish to have a bountiful harvest.

Wat type of set-up do u have Lights/ Soil/ Grow Space?

They sure look hungry, what's your medium, soil or hydro? I'm assuming soil, if so your plants probably used up all the nutients in the soil, you need to feed them to save them, hope it's not too late.

Thats what I was afraid of, that the plant would eventually use up everything originally in the soil because I never added nutrients.
I was experimenting with trying a straight raw grow the first time around, and I was going to employ a more scientific method with nutes and all for the next batch I'm starting now.
Its in some MG soil currently. No nutes. I think I'm pushing around 4000 lumens. 5 CFL bulbs. (2 tungsten, 3 daylight)

Since I need to get nutes for my next grow, what should I be looking into to save this one, and use for my next batch?
I was going to go with FoxFarm soil.

Most likely that MG soil had lots of time release feed in it. That's probably what saved your plant.
I don't think Scotts makes a soil product that doesn't advertise "extended release" or "feeds fo up to six months". (some of their products even have visible clear gelatinous balls in it)
They can work, but you have no control over what is being fed to your plants, nor do you know what was excluded, or included in that soil, so it is more dificult to diagnose when things go bad.
Since you haven't fed her at all, just feed her something not too strong. What brand is up to you. Since you are flowering, try an NPK around 2-6-4 every other watering for a couple weeks and then back it down some to around 1-3-2 till it finishes. This is safe and it should respond in a few days.
If you use MG nutes, you will have to do the math on the dilution. MG makes a product called "Bloom Booster" that has an NPK ratio of 15-30-15. It is lower on pottasium than blooming plants prefer, but you can use it.

For example: If the bottle says, 1 Tablespoon per gallon of water, you would achieve roughly 15-30-15 with this formula.
For example: If you wanted to get close to 3-6-3 you would divide that that number by 1/5.
There are three teaspoons in a Tablespoon, so a 1/2 a teaspoon would be a 1/6.

This would give you an NPK of 2.5 -5 -2.5.

I am not recommending any brand specifically, just explaining how you can use the products and adjust the NPK to suit your needs.
You can feed stronger, less frequently, but I like to apply nutes in lower more frequent doses.

Thanks. I'm going to get a hold of some nutes before the next watering in a couple days. See how she responds after that.

The second pic looks pretty good, right now I'm using Miracle Grow Bloom Booster and it's working fine for veg, not sure about flowering though.
