hurry, hurry my ladies in deep trouble

hey everyone. Here my dilema. i have 5 plants that r 4 weeks into flower and it seems to me that they r loosing a couple to many of there fan leaves. whole leaves r turning yellow overnight and if you gentle touch them they fall off. Does it sound like a nitrogen deficiency? Its my first grow and up until now, everything has been smooth sailing. And let me know what you guys think of my buds. I think other than the prob at hand they r really healthy. Oh the leaf prob doesnt seem to be affecting the buds. YET. My room stay at about 19 or 80 degrees with lights on and about 76-78 with lights off.The flower room is in a basement. So it stays kinda cool.Could it be temp doing this?Anyone just please give ur opinion. Please. I need it. thanks so much. Hurry , Hurry Hurry. they have been doing this for 3 days

Pics would help. But so far it sounds like normal yellowing at that stage of flowering. You can always give it a boost of Nitrogen if you think it's yellowing faster than it should be. It's good to keep the leaves as green and healthy for as long as you can. I freaked out a bit last year during my first grow when I saw the fan leaves turning yellow and falling off. It was normal yellowing, but I still gave it a dose of fish emulsion for the hell of it.

Either over fed or under fed, witch one is it. Both will do this. Any grey color on those leaves. Sounds like the plants locked up hard or taking any available nutes from the leaves and giving it to the flowers at this point.

Magic Green from House and Garden is always always a key ingredient I keep around. You should look it up and maybe pick up a small bottle . It is for plant trouble just like this.

dude have you been checking the ph

would giving it my GH MaxiGrow veg nuet give it the nitrogen it needs? On the NPK the N is 15

That number is based on a ratio in proportion to the other nutes in it, so hard to say w/o the complete N-P-K ratio. But it appears you are using a specific veg nutrient, so it should work fine. Those are generally higher in N. Your pics look great to me, but they all have a yellowish tint to them so I'm not seeing exactly what you're talking about. Are the yellowing leaves starting towards the bottom of the plant? If so, then I would still stand by my initial guess as being normal yellowing. Oh, what have you been feeding it with one time a week?

hey pablo, thanks for helping me out. Ok the N-P-K ratio of the GH MaxiGrow is 10-5-14. i used a 1/4 tsp per gallon and gave each plant about 1/2-3/4 of a gallon each. Yes the leaves are starting to yellow at the bottom and work its way up to the top. I mean i know plants do lose there leaves and the yellow then drop. but i thought it was a little to soon being as im only 4 3/4 into flowering. but its also my first grow. I just got scared. The veg specific nuet still should hurt, should it? And too answer ur last question, my flowering/bloom nuet is the following-Botonicare Pure,And Grow, Hygrozyme and Liquid Karma, Last 2 feeds before flush im also adding floranectar and foxfarm beastie bloomz bud booster. And all my plants were grown in foxfarm soil, perlite,peatmoss and promix

i take off most of the fan leafs when buding so that the buds get more light witch in the end they become more dense

Hey Ganjaluva, no problem. I'm pretty new to this myself. Your pics look good, you have good soil, and have been consistent with your nutes. That MaxiGrow appears to have a lower rating of N than some veg nutes. For example, I use Fox Farm's Grow Big, which is 6-4-4. I think your just fine, but it couldn't hurt to give them a dose of the veg nutes again. Plants should still get some N even during flowering to keep the leaves green. However, you're at a point where yellowing is normal so don't look for any drastic change to occur.

No WW for me yet. I've only been growing for a bit over 1 year. I grew a bagseed and an autoflower last year. Doing more autos, and one Kush this year.

I've seen plenty of amazing WW grow journals on here, so you've got a lot of info to help you out. Just go to a particular forum such as "indoor growing" and type in "white widow" in the search window and see what comes up. Try that in the "harvesting and curing" section as well for some cool pics. Best of luck.
