Dear anyone who can help,

Hi i have grown before but outside and with less problems using 20-20-20 fert and water with just dirt but besides that, now im starting an indoor...i have read different theories all over the net about adding organic material and adding benificial bacterias to the dirst......regaurd any of the techniquies i have used i have had plant growth everyday

Each plant regaurding size gets smaller leaves as you go up the plant until you get to the canopy(top) and each new grow shoot along the top..im growing it compact so each bottom shoot caught up with the top but still exibits new leaves taking forever to open up..very narrow...inner part of the leaves remain yellow and slowlyslowlllllly starts to turn green as time progresses but new leaves are smaller and more yellow...all old growth is uneffected. the middle leaves of the plants ie the new shoots are starting to sex but still are pale green and alot smaller(deficient)in comparisson to the large fan leaves and older growth

this is my first question not really put together if anyone can help that would be fantastic and i have pictures if that will help

Nitrogen def possible. Pale plants, red stems, smaller growth. Rapid yellowing of leaves up the plant. If this sounds like you situation add nitrogen. The soil your using probably already has nutes in it but if you have flush in the past it may need some. Not totally sure of your situation. Hope this helps.:twisted:

What type of soil?
soil ph?
water ph?
nutes?
lighting?
veg or flower? how long?
It could be many things bro, for instance... if your ph is off it could be causing nitrogen to be locked out, adding more N without knowing for sure is asking for problems. Although it sounds like a N def. But what's causing it? You must narrow things down and try to pinpoint the problem before taking action. How does the plant look otherwise? pics?

Wow she looks really good then for that light schedule. You should try and keep your lighting more constant. Thats probably why you think it is looking yellow. Since you're flowering you want to be a little more careful with your lighting. Try to find a way to keep full CFL on her or even while she is getting sunlight. It's just that the sun varies how much light it puts out, with bulbs its a constant.

Seems like the moving plants from place to place throughout the day sounds like alot of work. Might be better if you had one place. Same constant light instead of changing light types. From real light to cfl. Not sure how this might affect. But it just seems like it would be happy just one way. The pic with the spots. Sounds like there could be too much Mg (magnesium) in the soil. Add Mn (manganese) to soil to couter the Mg. Still the pale pic looks like lack of N (nitrogen). I wouldn't make too many adjustments just yet. Take in all feeedback and acess your problems one at a time.:twisted:

in responce to that i can say that the spots are from when i put it under the cfls with out the fan and it stretched a tiny bit upwards to get the light and it burnt...but its grown since then she is ok.... just those leaves at the top of each shoot take awhile to get bigger and greener. so yeah its at each shoot..
