hi there im about 5 to 6 weeks into flowering and have started to see the lower leafs yellowing by the day slowly starting to make there way up im guessing ...im also seeing spots and certain brown lil bloches and stuff on bigger leafs but other smaller ones are fine......i did have my fan blowing up underneath the leafs on the ground at one point..2 days ago i changed the fan to point down now from the ceiling i dont know if this was causing anything plus i been spraying them with water everyday like the plant was rained on dunno if this is causing anything........i have posted some pics im also using MG soil the nutes in it are good for 3 months says feeds up to 3 the soil is new thoe not old so im assuming its not a nitrogen thing and im using plain tap water ive been using the same water since seed and had no problems with it so my ph is good.... I need ur guys help on this one ....anyways enough of my blabbing heres the pics

Stop spraying it, you are increasing your chance of mold or rot.
5-6 weeks into flower and you haven't fed yet?
Feed her man.:wall:
I'm surprised you are doing as well as you are with nothing fed so far.
If it was mine, I would feed with something that has some N in it, like an all purpose or veg food, then after a couple waterings, start feeding with a bloom food, less N and more P and K.

Whatever you get will come with directions, usually something like 1 tsp/ gallon of water.
Mix it, then water.
You can mix a gallon, and use what you need to get runoff, and leave what's left (maybe 1/2 to 3/4 gallon) and use it up in the next week or two.
Myself, I don't like to mix more than I am going to use right away., so mix maybe half a gallon, (using half the dosage of course) and use it all.
Too much runoff does not hurt anything, and nutes should be cheap enough.
To feed with N, just look for something generic, or all purpose, like a 24-8-16 (Miracle Grow All Purpose).
For your bloom nutes, look for something with a ratio of 1-2-3 or close to that, for instance maybe 5-10-15, (just an example).
For a first plant, I wouldn't worry about trying to use anything fancy or specific-your first plant is kinda like practice, right?

Try Schulz African Violet food, It is low in N..8-14-9..has some trace minerals too. It doesnt mess with ph as some high PK ratios can.

I thought I used small pots with 2 and 3 gallon.. That thing must have a tight root ball..

Get it healthy, harvest.. and look into revegging that one..AFTER repotting..

It takes big balls,,root..to grow big buds..:weed: Well not always, but it helps..Peace

I was looking last night when I watered, and I'm starting to think I'm getting full in my 5 g. pot, and I'm not even 3 months in yet.:-|

Right on. I am going to try and repot my big bush after this harvest. I cant believe how much more they made the second time around. My next round I can veg much longer now that I'm getting a few jars on the shelf.

That is you Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium numbers.
Usually on the side or back of box in a format like that........24-8-16, or 0-4-8.
If you don't want my suggestion of MG for an all purpose or veg food, and you don't want SS's suggestion of Schultz's, then you will have to go read some labels.
We tried to give you an idea of numbers to look for, but all ferts have different numbers, so it would do us no good to say 'look for 2-8-16', and you go to the store, and maybe they have 4-9-18 which would work just fine, but it isn't exactly what we said so you don't get it.
Just the same, if we gave a name brand, you might spend 3 hours driving around trying to find it.
We don't even know if you want to order, or want to run to the store to get right away, or what.
See what I mean?
