Okay, like the picture displays, I got a bunch of yellowing, I used tiger bloom a few times in the past on this grow and I think nutrients are now locked out!!!

I am half way through flowering and i think this situation is affecting the size of the colas....

phosphorous deficiency?

Can you answer some questions like?

1) What feeding regime are they on? what feed and how often, how often are you watering them?

2) When did you fist notice the problem?

3) Have you repotted?

4) Have you moved the plants inside/outside

5) What compost are they in?

I'm sure an expert will be able to pipe in soon

Have the plants been in a cold environment or in a draft?

To be on the safe side, it might be worth repotting them into a known good soil.

You might have deficiencies but they may be caused by any kind of problem which will cause you other nutrient lock outs later down the line.

As you have yellowing, leaf drop and immature flower formation it leads to a P deficiency.


But you should repot it into a good compost

Just typed out loads and damn mac shutdown spliff.gif

Basically, your plants are hungry!

Compost only has enough nutrients in it to sustain a plant healthily up to flowering.

Now you are flowering, the compost has no food in it and your plants need phosporous and potassium, and nitrogen to a lesser degree.

Get yourself some canna liquid feed or something for tomatoes if you can't get that. Mix it up according to the instructions and water your plants with it.

Adjust the fan so it is not blowing on the plants but just above the tops.

Try not to make the mistake of giving them extra strength feed cos they haven't had much recently, cos it doesn't work like that.

Hopefully, your buds should fatten up a bit.

The yellow leaves won't get better but you will notice that the buds get fatter, new growth will be healthier and the purple colour to some of the leaves should go.


All the best

So many people overfeed their plants. Your approach of letting the soil feed the plants is excellent, however, compost can only do this up to flowering.

When you start flowering, the plant needs more Phosphorous and Potassium, with less nitrogen than before.

It is much easier to feed more, than take too much away.

Maybe you should add food to your sig 400 Watts, Some soil, tap water, and knowledge and a bit of food

just kidding, couldn't resist.


Hope your buds fatten up some, which they will

Heya vyral , what size pots are they in mate ? because
QUOTE
Water evrey day and a half,
seems a hell of alot , you must make sure the pot is NEARLY dry before you water , imho they are looking for "n" and that much watering it looks like you're almost flushing .
vyral
maybe every day and a half is exaggerating a bit, I water when it looks like they need, i feel in the soil about 2 inches down, if its dry, I water.



As for the size, I am not exactly sure, but about a foot tall and a foot wide, circular.
ben
Does that big bloom have any nitrogen in it? It could just be a flowering nute. You might need grow type nutes too.

e2a: ahh just reading in diary... smile.gif
vyral
It seems almost futile...waiting until 7 weeks in to start nutrients....the plant with the long nug seems to take till 10-11 weeks to be fully done pinch.gif , while the smaller nugged plant seems to finish right at 8...

..how long should i flush and how much longer do you think these ladies have?? spliff.gif




ben: you think i need more nutes?? like what?? this is the first time ive used nutes...so i dont want to over due it...ive come so far stoned.gif


i got these seeds from a friend, from some expensive shite...this is the 2nd round ive gone with them, but last time, same soil, same water (i hope the city didnt switch nothin up), last grow there was no need for nutes, heres a pic of them last time at 37 days...
