She is just starting to flower its been like 3-4 days since she started to flower. Its progressing from bottom to up. Leaves are yellowing and curling and have dark spots? They eventually dry out and die. What is this?

Its an outdoor socal grow. Temps are around 95-100. She is in a 3 gallon pot but you can see its only filled 2/3 to 3/4 to the top. Shes watered every other day and fed every other watering. Shes almost 4 feet tall. Could it be overfertalizing? Rootbound? Some deficiency? PLEASE HELP.

your plants is using the nitrogen that is stored in the fan leaves in order to produce new leaves, thus if your feed your lady with more nitrogen then this yellowing will stop

Are you sure? I fed two teaspoons yesterday of 5-1-1 nutes. It didnt seem to slow it down though?

Not to be a dick but maybe read my post man. I said its flowering in the very first sentence. The rest of the plant is healthy and green. Could heat actually make leaves yellow?

Well like I said its been 95-100 degrees over here recently and been in direct sunlight. Heat stress or something? Any more input guys?

how long ago did it start turning yellow? if it was like that during the veg it was because of a nitrogen deficiency but if it started to do this at the start of the flower it is normal, but i havent heard of it happening so as early as 4 days. i am 20 days into flower and my tips are starting to turn yellow. and now that your in the flowering period i would recommend getting new nutes, the one that you have has a to high of nitrogen and a low PK. in the flowering stage the N has to be as low 1 or 0 and the Pk should be higher. if you cant afford new nutes just dont use any at all the one you have isnt doing your plant any good in flowering

I am assuming they were vegging outside too? May be to much heat over that time period...Or if they were vegging inside it could be the temp difference.

They just started flowering like 4 days ago and started to yellow maybe 3 days ago? If its getting nitrogen deficient wouldnt it be bad to give her less nitrogen? So you think its overfertalizing?

if i were you man i would go get some better nutes for your plant one that has still little amount of N and more PK that way your plant still gets some nitrogen and it will help your leaves from turning yellow so quick, but you know that in the flowering stage it is practically inevitable of your leaves turning yellow, its because your plant is sucking out all the energy and nutrients from your leaves and pushing them into yours buds!:weed: and if you said it gets in 90 degrees that could also be the problem

You need to know the ppm level. This way you know how much fertilizer your givin it. Buy a ppm meter and a ph tester.

I have veg and flowering nutes. 5-1-1 and 2-7-7. I know its normal in flowering to get yellow leaves but its literally only been 4 days. Theres no real buds produced yet. If it is a nitrogen deficiency ill give it lots of nitrogen, but im just being cautious to make sure its not something else and I dont just make it worse by feeding her lots of N.

heat stress dont start from the bottom unless u live on the sun. I would agree some N prob needed. When my plants look yellow i feed them.

What do I do since I just watered them today? Do I wait till the pots are dry or do I water with N anyways?
