yeah the lower leafs would be yellowingi just flushed them yesterday. Got the ph dialed in. So they are soaking wet, so i can feed them...i could foliage feed them......but if it nitrogen shouldn't they just start taking it from the lower leaves?
They are under 600hps....the light is far enough away i don't think they are getting bleached.....hmmmmmm........anyone?
Ya, they look good in my opinion, real healthy new growth from what I can see.Here are some pics.....sorry the HPS is on.....

they are 6 days into flower. The tall one on the left is vanilla kush and the tall one on the right is acapulco gold. the rest are white widow
It is totally normal. Before I even read 6 days in flower I was thinking "did you just start flower"? It's cool.
Did you transplant them within a day or 2 of flipping 12/12?
I'm not certain on this... but I THINK... I have noticed less of this light green growth when I have given my plants a chance to settle in to their flower pot for a week... rather than transplanting straight to the flower pot and flipping 12/12.
Nope they have been in 3 gallon pots for 2 weeks now....i did just flush them. I flushed them with ph'd water only no nutes. I was thinking of a foliage feed....but if you guys think they will be ok...i'll water 5-6 days to give them a feed.
Definite signs of nute burn maybe made worse by hard water if that's what you are using. A flush with 3x the volume of the pot it's in followed by a light feeding would be a good idea. Switching to RO water if you're using tap water would be another good idea.
When you flush don't wait until the pot dries before feeding. Just pour in your water with 1/4 strength nutes after you've flushed it good so it doesn't starve for a week until it gets dry enough to need a watering.
Good luck!
For a complete flush you want 3x the volume. If the plant is just slightly overfed then 1 volume is often enough to reduce the nute level to something better for the plant. You could save money by flushing twice with tap water then doing the third with good water and low nutes to push out the tap water with the final load. I find a shop vac set up for liquids works great to suck the runoff up when the plants can't be moved to a sink or bathtub for drainage. Flushing goes so slow even with a light airy soilless mix.She is in a 7 gallon pot, so 21 gallons?! I have been using gallons of bottled baby water. It's ppms are around 100. Ppms in my tap are 75ish but I don't use it anyway. Soon I can buy an ro system, as Ive been educated as to the benefits. Thanks so much for helping so quickly.
