I have put all of my plants into a fertilized soil that is supposed to be moisture control. A few of my plants seem to be turning a yellow color. Two plants that are almost done flowering are also yellow. There is one Lemon skunk that has obvious overfertilization. Also when I transplanted quite a few leaves turned burnt on the tips. any help I have not used fert for about 3 weeks now. Also I still need help with vacation watering without pressurized water source.

Let me get this straight, your plants are almost ready to chop and you've repotted them into fertilised, moisture control compost? why?
The moisture control compost is not a friend of marijuana as they like to dry out between waterings and adding ferts so close to finish will make your buds taste shit, repotting at such a late stage will also cause stress.
Your leaves should be turning yellow when they are close to finishing, this is a sign that all the ferts are being used up (which you want towards the end).
Flush the shit out of that soil and then dont water them again until they have dried out.

I think you misunderstood. I transplanted them between 4 and 6 weeks ago. The fert I would think should be flushed by now. My main question is when is it ok to start back with fert on them. They seem to do ok in the moisture control here are a few pics. This is also my first time growing. Any info on the waterings?

In the pictures it is obvious that the leaves are ready showing signs to harvest I believe. The last picture is of the yellowing plant. It is the one on the right of the two plants that is casting yellow. It is g13 X haze. The other two are Low rider autos. The other single is also a g13haze.

I've been using MG Moisture Control* for over a year now . . . maybe a dozen grows.
On the bag it says return to feeding at one month, I think.

I'd seen a bit of mid-level yellowing in flower, which I "fixed" by flushing the MGMC soil at 4-5 weeks of 12/12, then feeding full bloom dosage w/5-1-1 Alaskan Fish Fert (1TB/Gal, ONE time will suffice)), the latter will help with nitrogen needs w/o burning. Cured mine?
I should mention that I generally TP into new MGMC a week before going 12/12.

Thanks for the advice. I have used the fish stuff at the begining but the smell blasted me out of the room. Maybe I will give it another shot though. Thanks

They make an alleged unscented, but that stinks too (in the water, haven't noticed in the soil?)
