can plants not just feed themselves?

[cocker]

what i mean is, my lowryder 2's are about three week into flowering and i'm sure they have a slight n deficiency, fan leaves are turning yellow and slowly dying 1 by 1. but they actualy look healthy! could i not just let it feed on itself untill ready instead of adding nutes? or will this cause problems?

If the soil has nutes in it,then they should be fine.

You results will be poor at best if they don't die,even if there is nutes in the soil it will eventually run out.....

it will jus grow toa percentage of its potential, an maybe not make it to the end due to lack of foliage... jus like a garden plant that is fed will out shine a neglected plant, u can get organic feeds if thats wat u trying to achieve

ok thankyou i think you've all made my mind up. al get some nutes 2moro i'm using mg potting soil. i just thought if it fed off its self it wouldent taste of green or nutes.

the taste is down to if u flush at end of cycle and how u dry and cure ya harvest.

changed my mind im just gona let it be for 2 or three weeks then harvest, im sure theyll use up all there own resources in the wild! whats the worst that can happen? ill let u know. does it work flushing soil that already contains nutes?

You're going to cut down your yield by doing this. In the wild, no, they don't use up all their resources - the earth doesn't run out of nutrients for them to use.
