so i have tried SEVERAL different things now to fix this bitches and its looking NO BETTER...FUCKING PISSING ME OFF!! im now stuck on giving them veg nutes that are 20-20-20 to give em an Nitrogen bump but what do you guys think this is? Tiger bloom was only a 2-8-4 so pretty low on nitrogen which is what iv been giving them for the last few weeks so they may have been run down on food?IMAG0156.jpgIMAG0154.jpgIMAG0155.jpg

I suggest to brew some coffee, pour the coffee down the drain, take the leftover spent grinds and put them around the base of the plant. Worked like magic for mine. Takes about 2-3 days to see changes.

Coffee ground are high in nitrogen, but its budding so you dont need it. its a phosphorus deficiency, and your plants are budding. its looking fine, just give it a bit more phosphorus. Your plants are going to naturally lose leaves as it flowers too, so dont get to scared when some fall off

Trouble with all these ´deficiencies´ - so difficult to ´guess´ - and that is all people are doing - guessing - which one it is. If it is a deficiency and not a virus or insect or parasite infestation that is.

It really does look like a nitrogen deficiency. Since its in soil id use an organic soil amendment like blood meal (12-0-0 NPK), some people dont like blood meal becasue its a slaughterhouse by product and its kinda powerful. Its a good quick source of nitrogen but if you use too much itll burn your plants up. Bat guano is another good one (you can buy it differnt strengths for whatever stage of groth your in like 10-2-0 NPK for veg; 0-13-0 NPK for rooting or fruiting/flowering; or 10-13-3 NPK for both). Fish meal (10-5-0 NPK) is good also. Earthworm casting are relatively low in nitrogen but contain a lot of trace minerals, make a tea with them by soaking one part earthworm castings in 3 parts water or a tablespoon per gallon of soil in the pot as a covering. I found a good resource while looking for an answer to your question. I hoope this link works, Its a small .pdf file.

Its completely normal for plants to get yellow fan leaves during flowering. as long as the leaves around the buds look healthy then your alright man.

Then you look at a guide and do everything it says...and if nothing makes the plant better THEN you can worry about that, yes. watch out for gnats or "fruit flies," as they will dig into the soil and eat your root system. Best wishes on everyones crops :)

aren't coffee grounds highly acidic??
Yes, that's why you put them through the coffee maker first. Discard the water, and put the grinds in the soil. Anything that's compostable really. Hair, egg shells, leaves, (I recently heard fish????) in the soil. as it decomposes it will put off valuable nutrients that the plant LOVES

Look at Fox Farm's Ocean Forrest it has fish in it. In fact the Native Americans trick to good corn was fertilizing with fish.
