I take it back..... not those ones theyre too far gone.... but just because a leaf fades doesn't mean it will never be healthy again....
Once a leaf fades it will never get green again. It won't always die, and i've seen some appear to get 'healthier' but once a leaf is damaged by a deficiency the damage is done. In the case of mobile elements it takes from the old to generate the new. It doesn't repair the old though - what will happen is the plant will continue to grow, and if the damaged leaf doesn't die, it may continue to grow and eventually look a little healthier than it did.

I don't even PH my water. I Just take it from the tap and pour it in. I'm really green when it comes to green lol(3rd grow)
this is a must. water is very important. ph beforeyou water. and check runoff. i garentee tht is your problem, with tiger bloom it happens all the time. my guess is your putting out numbers near 5.0. N is only avail closer to 6-7. adjust ph perhaps flush once to rid excess salts. if you cant afford a meter strips works just as well and are very cheep. also look into a tds meter as well. not as important but it is nice to KNOW how potent your mix is as well as your tap water to begin with.

ok and last think cuban... check to make sure you get rid of any chlorine or flouride if your on city water. easy just need to let your water sit for 48 before use..

not really stupid talk... faded is one thing but leaves which have had deficiency, like squidbilly said will not come back.

i can agree with both woody and squid. when i grow in soil and have a def ussually by the time i fix it and the plant is happy the leaf is gone wasted itself.

But in hydro if i fix a def everything greens back up as if nothing happened.

I have a couple right now that I was mad at so I ignored them for a couple months........ then I folded em up in garbage bags and moved them..... dropped them in giant pots of organic w a half a bag of compost and a half a bag of castings on top...... be damned if all the shitty leaves aint green..... even the ones that were starting to go crispy have gone dark green everywhere that wasn't crispy.......... its nonsense......
