Plant Dying?

MrSweetDreams · Oct 25, 2010

My plant is in it's 4th week of flowering and honestly it looks beautiful, but all of a sudden it is starting to turn yellow, and honestly at first it was a bit, but now it has spread out even more..
I am using floranove line, with Floralicious plus and liquid koolbloom..They are under a 1000W and on foxfarm soil, what can be causing this problem? Is my plant going to be ok?

You're right it's dying.
Anuals are like that, yeah they are.

Looks fine but a bigger pic would help.

Have you been feeding a lil' N to them through flowering? Otherwise the leaves will start to turn yellow as the plant siphons off the N from the leaves.

I tried with my phone, but for some reason it just gets small when I post it on here...Do you think the plant looks good?

i was thinking the same thing. I give mine a bump of N in weeks 3 and 4 of flower

It is semi-normal, there are ways to control multiple aspects in order to keep the plant from yellowing all together, but I have not gotten any advice on how to do so...I use the fox farm nutes and I have had similar experiences with the yellowing issue...I have been making tweaks here and there in an attempt to keep yellowing out of the equation and I am doing pretty well so far, just past week 3 with only a cpl yellow leaves

the worst part is that those yellow leaves will not be able to attain energy which would make your buds bigger...so you will probably lose out on overall yield

also no matter how closely you trim there will be some yellow fan leaves which won't look too hot if your selling, but if you used solid genetics you will get solid bud

I am not familiar with your nutes, but there are plenty of people who use them on this site therefore I bet you will receive some counseling

End of her life?? Bro the bud doesn't look nowhere near ready.

plus no plants finish in 4 weeks...

LorDeMO · Oct 25, 2010

end of wah? I was merely saying you should be feeding your plants a little Nitrogen through the flowering phase - I do it for the first month then just stick to flower nutes.

Thanx for the reply...I hope this helps you, when I went to buy another bag of foxfarm for 1 of my plants, the local hydro store didnt have, so I went to home Depot and got Scott's, believe it or not the plant I put in the Scotts dirt is beautiful and green and the Fozfarm one is yellow as you can see in the pic.
Maybe Foxfarm is just very strong.

Of course its natural for plants to start shedding leaves towards the end of flowering. Its 4 weeks in. Ive NEVER had a plant look like that at 4 weeks that didnt have a problem. It obviously has a deficiency and im betting it needs some nitrogen. Whats your ph?

not a problem, i always figure help is a reciprocity process...so i strongly appreciate your help for me...and FFOF is on the strong side, it has some food built in (and that is why i don't feed my girls anything until they are through 3 weeks of flowering

but if you are still using FFOF/went back to it....make sure that you give your seedlings straight water for the first 2-3 weeks or they WILL get nute burn

hope that helps you! haha

6.1 but it's weird because I have 2 plants and it's only happening to one of them, the other one is in Scott's potting mix. Could it be the soil?

maybe Scott's soil has more N in it?

Are you saying the one without the problem is in the Scotts? Thats because the scotts has plenty of N already. What soil are you using with the plant that has the problem

The one in Fox Farm is the yellow one..

whichever nute you use for vegetating should have a good level of N i would incorporate that nute back into your mix (along w/ the flowering nutes) this should help your plant save whatever N is left in the leaves

aka stop the bleeding
