looking for opinions on my grow

hello everyone!!!!real quick wanna say im new to growing and this is my first grow. I have 5 plants all together. 4 chocolate kush from clone and 1 lifesaver from clone. They seem to be doing great in my opinion but i think they could be losing a little to many leaves, to early. Nitrogen deficiency? idk. Its week 4 of flowering. Im using GH nuetes and this week im going to start with the foxfarm beastie bloomz booster. Soil mix is foxfarm all the way through. thanks for looking. Any comments would be appreciated, good or bad.

sorry about that. heres the pics

From what I can tell by your pics, it appears you're not cooling your lights, am I correct? I believe your room temps are causing the droopiness in the leaves and for them to fall off. What are your room temps, ambient and directly at the leaf? Thanks.

bump, bump, bump,Please anyone, i know its hard to diagnose thru pics, but i really need opinions and help. It seems to be getting worse, Anybody and everyone.Please lend a hand

first, read the previous post and respond to it. Second, the best tip I can give you is to enter "Uncle Ben" in the search bar and check out his threads...I know he's got one that focuses on keeping all the leaves green till harvest. Ur best bet is to research, cuz no one will help you out if they know for certain that you can find the answer by looking. Just a friendly tip...Good Luck!

I think what he said has good merit. Your temps cant be too high otherwise you are super-stressing your plant. You need to cool that room somehow. Even if you have an oscillating fan in there, you're onl;y blowing around hot air. You need to vent air out and bring fresh, cool new air in for best results. I hope this helps if even a tiny bit! Good luck!

EDIT: I just saw your ducting in the background of 2 of the pics... not sure if its coming in or out... but keeping your temps in check is incredibly important! Also stay on a strict fert schedule, dont over fert your plants as this can definately hurt your plants and i've even seen that happen if a plant becomes too rootbound in its container.
Luck!

no my lights r not air cooled. but my room doesnt go over 79 degrees. is that to hot?no way. i have and 8" vortex for exhaust, 2-16" airking oscilatting fans, one on plants other on lights to cool down. and i have 1-6" inline fans pumping in fresh air to the room. I dont know what is wrong honestly. I gave in some GH MaxiGrow for the nitrogen thinking maybe its nitrogen deficiency. At this point im lost

hey thanks for the tip man. Im just nervous. I put so much time and work. these things are like my kids and i dont know what to do to them.And i dont wanna lose them. thanks for the advice. oh btw i did respond to previous post but i did it thru pm by mistake.

thanks palica. yeah the ducts in the pics is my fresh air coming in. i have 2 6" fans sucking fresh air in, an 8" vortex for exhaust and 2 16" Airking oscilatting fans for circulation. I dont think my temps r the prob. maybe rootbound.Im pretty anally strict with my nuetes, but you never know. it only takes a fraction off to ufck ish up. thanks for everything man

Ok, if it's not your temps, its mostly likely your nutrients. How old are the nutrients? Have they been stored in your room with the heat and such? If so, you may want to replace them. In addition, try a flushing solution like clearex to pull out all of the salts that you've been feeding the plants. It's like a reset button. Resume your normal feeding solution and schedule afterward. I'd really like to see a closeup of the sun leaves toward the bottom of the plants if possible. Keep us updated.

Are you overwatering? Turns your roots into a sloppy mess and stops them from absorbing nutirents. Same if you soil PH is off. A little bit of yellowing during flowering is nothing to worry about, when you start losing half your leaves you know somethings up. The plant is putting it's energy into flowering.

i dont really think im overwatering. Im watering once a week and thats it. Maybe a half gallon each plant in between, if they are dry.

You must have gotten your n-p-k in your nutrients wrong... in the veg state I use higher nitrogen and potassium then phosphate, but it really depends on the strain... Yours look like they are trying to grown up more then out so it has to be a deficiency or somethings wrong with your lights lol.

hey buttsnake. just wanted to let u guys know that i took bsnakes advice and flushed all my plants with clearex, last week. I pretty much had it narrowed down to a nitrogen def or nute lock, so either way, the solution seemed to be try and flush it out.When in dought, flush it out. Right? So thats what i did , and im happy to report that the ladies are doing fuckin fantastic. They look vibrant again. It sucks, of course i lent my camera to a friend so no pics, but i will post them asap. Quick question. Will the leaves that were yellowing regain there greeness, or stay yellow? And after the flush, should i start nuets at full strength where i was or should i start at 1/4 or 1/2 strength?Just wandering. Thanks guys. Once again The genuine crew at RIU have done it. Thanks, GL2009

The leaves will probably stay yellow but that's of no real concern since you'll be cutting soon. I haven't really seen closeups of your leaves so I can' t really tell you what to do concerning your nutrients but it wouldn't hurt to start them lower and bring them up slowly. Now that you have clearex, make sure to use it at the end of your grow to flush those nutrients and make everything taste good.

ok here is all i know to kepp ur leaves u may wanna give this a shot now dont jump into read up on it but u should look at foliar feeding also make ur humidity higher and raise ur light a tad not much this if done right may correct ur problem and i hope it does

yay i read that there fixed still try foliar feeding tho

i hear it works very well
