Basically, yesterday started week 5 of flower(these pics were taken yesterday) the top half of the plants look great, and there are bud sites all over these things, including the bottom. However a lot of the leaves on the bottom half of these plants are turning brown and dieing.

PH is 5.9, nutes are at about 1300 ppm, pure blend flower, a little liquid karma, and a little cal mag. co2 stays at about 1300-1400 ppm. room temperature is usually in the high 80s with humidity right at 50.

about 25 plants on a 4x6 flood table with 2 1000 watt lights on a mover, they get watered once a day. the plants make a good canopy, but dont look too crowded, i would say the plants are 2 to 2 1/2 feet tall.

I know eventually the leaves die as the plant uses them, but isnt this a little early for that to be happening? any help would be appreciated, thank you.


the pictures are kind of crappy, and i had already pulled some of the dead leaves off of some of these plants too, but maybe it will give you a better idea.

bottom leaves usually die because they dont get as much light. most growers actually cut off that lower growth the send the energy that would normally be spent on it to other parts of the plant. are you using any nutrients..?
