Yellowing bottom-mid fan leaves.

Hey guys, I hope you can help me out with my first grow..

I've had these girls for a little over 3 months and in that time #1 had minimal yellow leaves , and more frequent yellow leaves on #2. I've been using the DNF < Dutch Nute Formula > that I bought from my local headshop and never had any problems with it. But as of 4-5 days ago I noticed more and more yellowing leaves on #1. I don't have a PH tester but I do distill the water for 24hours before using it...

I used two different types of miracle grow soil. < MISTAKE I KNOW >
I mist daily except for days that I water.
I am not sure on the strain.
Both seeds are just bag seed.
Roughly 5/6 weeks into flowering

What could be causing this? Is it a defficiency? Just normal for the later stages of flowering? ANYTHING would help

I thank you in advance for your input and time !

common, anyone?? i know im not the only greenthumb on here !

leaves die in flower by the end there will be hardly any i wudnt worry nice buds

common guys !

im not a pro but in flowering the plant will start using mostly all of its nut on the buds to grow better and let the leaves wilt away. btw very nicce plant what lights you using?

Thanks for your input aswell Keep it real. I grow outdoors so no lights just the sun.

ooh man very nicce mother nature is the best way.

I'll toke to that !

anybody else willing to give me some advice?

Can you get any closer on the yellow leaves at the bottom?


looks like Nitrogen deficiency

sure i'll get them up as soon as i can

Alot of times the plant will start to use up the nutes on the bottom leaves to move nutrients to other parts of the plants espiecially when there is a change like to flower I generally will jus pluck them they should just snap off at the stalk I generally end up with a pile of leaves toward the end which I turn into bubble hash they look healthy but if it wwas a nitrogen deficiancy you would get rust spots as yellowing if all else fails cut of nutrients and run a few cycles of plain water

close up on the leaves ^

it needs nitrogen
anybody saying that is normal in flower is wrong
also dankbud, u cant make bubble hash out of fan leafs with no trichs

either nitrogen or could be Magnesium deficiency. Try giving them epsom salt 1 tsp/gal and try going back to veg food for a bit

correct. Your leaves should look perfectly healthy till the day you cut them down

i did give them both epsom salt roughly 2 months in..
what do i need to do to bring up the n levels?

the nutes that i use is a two part solution part a / b. A is for the vegetative growth and then part b is for bloom.

Bottle A has 3.00% nitrogen

Bottle b has 1.00% nitrogen

i only put two teaspoons of 'A' in a gallon of water and gave it to the girls.
