I have a couple of girls- 4 wks into flowering that are yellowing fast! I noticed some very "slight" leaf burn earlier and attributed that to too much fertilizer so I have cut back somewhat on that! I have them growing in 3 gal containers, pro-mix, FF trio feeding schedule, under 600 watt HPS. I am wondering if it is "SAFE to give them some foliar feeding and if that could cause more problems because of the earlier noticed leaf tip burn??! Or could those tip burns be from too much watering!

Does floiar feeding effect toxity levels??

Any help would be "greatly" appreciated. :leaf:

I don't know . I watered it in when my plants needed it . Buds - the 2nd post on here could probably help you a lot more . I just went through that mine yellowed from lack of nitrogen

I never really flushed any of my plants . Theres a lot of differing opinions on flushing . If you don't overnute I dont see the point .

Guys, im not talking about a final flush. If you do drain to waste promix, you need to flush every three weeks. A month? Buddy, I promise you thats your problem. It needed it a week ago. Ill bet my nuts when/if you flush it the runoff will be INTENSE.

Flushing is a good start to problem solving. It reduces over-nutes in soil and dilutes acid or alkali ph's. Most problems improve but you still need to find the cause. For yellowing leaves I would start with ph of soil. Get the ph right - for me it has been flushing then adding lemon / vinegar as req'd. Check heat. Change nutes.

I think most probems start in the soil mix and then how nutes are introduced and build up.

One last thing. I put my pots on one of those trainer disks. I can then swivel any pot to examine it or change lighting areas. Certainly very practical in my small grows of 1!

I agree, its almost always the rootzone if you got a problem. From experience with promix, if you dont have a recirculating system then you HAVE to flush. Think about this....if the leaves show burn, theyve been getting plenty of nutes. So its not that you are underfeeding them, its ph fluctuations that reduce nutrient availability. Dont be lazy, flush regularly.

you have thirty days left.......think about it do you plan on flushing in the end? if you do plan on it in the final one or two weeks then and youu flush now......how much time does your p[lant have to uptake nutrients in the final thirty days? not very much people are dumb.... dont listen to us... I would feed strong and I mean strong and see what happens

Yes. You should follow his advice. Continue as youve been doing, which we know is perfectly correct having a yellow plant as an indicator, and keep feeding heavy. See what happens. You will learn a lot from it.

Your plants are going to be almost dead next week if you continue doing as youve been doing., sorry to be the barer of bad news...but you asked for a reason right?

Whats the deffinition of insanity? To do the same thing repeatedly and expecting a different result. Your plants are TELLING you you are doing something wrong...listen to them

After wahat you said, I don't think your plants are yellowing because of adding too little nutes to their feed.
