hey guys,
my plants always been a luscious healthy green all over, I never gave it any nutes (cept time release potting mix) until about 4 days ago I gave it about 1/3 strength bloom nutrients, now this morning it's started turning yellow. do you know what the problem is and how I can fix it? I gave it a good helping of plain ph'd water just now

cheers

ok so i read up a little bit on nitroen deficiency, I think using bloom nutes was a really bad idea, I'm flushing the plant right now with tap water, then I'm gonna flush it a bit more with ph'd water and see how she goes, I'll stop being a tight arse and buy some grow nutes asap

truthfully dude never add time release nutes in your soil, and then you put bloom nutes on top. your going to have to watch this plant. the problem is with the time release pellets you dont know what rate of nutes your giveing to your plants at a time. nor do you have any idea of when those nutes have been used up. ID maybe suggest trans planting with fresh soil then just ph your water for the first few waterings to get the plant back to normal then put her in bloom.
peace

well the time release ferts were is the potting mix already and i've used this mix for outdoor last summer with no probs. But if it gets worse I'll probably change it to a basic cheap unfertilized potting mix/perlite mix

so if I wanted to transplant such a large plant would I cut it out of the soil? I've only ever taken plants out of pots and put them in bigger ones, never transplanted into the same pot

no go bigger and add more soil, sorta like diluting the ferts already in the same soil. I use regular potting soil with a bunch of pearl lite and some hydrotion pellets.

ah ok well looks like my custom scrog pots gonna have to go then :(

by regular potting soil do you mean the cheapo stuff? eg my premium soil cost me $10 a bag, I looked around for a fert free one but could only find low grade $2 a bag. I'll have a better look around and try to find some premium without ferts.

anyway I've flushed it out followed by a bucket of ph'd water so I'll see how see goes for now

you could be over nutting them? i have a slight problem myself, the very tips of my plants Budding leaves the tips of the leaves are yellow, like 1.5 millameter, is that ozone over feeding root rot? the buds smell sweet dont think its root rot, anyone have any ideas? i posted pics yesterday on this site not sure if i can find them or not, hmmm they are 3.61 megs and max file size on uploads are 2.95, hmm bummer, anyone have any ideas on why the just the tips are yellow?
many thanks
