Confusing plant problem.

So, my plants are a little over a month old now and they seem to be growing just fine. I have topped them in order to keep them short and they have recently been repotted. My problems began when my first set of leaves started to turn yellow. I assumed that they weren't getting enough nitrogen and this was around the time when I was ready to up the dosage of nutes. So I increased the nutes and everything seemed to be going fine. I cut off the yellow lower leaves and then the next set just started turning yellow. Now the tips of my leaves are turning yellow, which I believe to be nute burn...what would you do it seems like a nitrogen deficiency because of the lower leaves but nute burn from the crispy yellow tips on the leaves.



Thanks in advance...I can probably post pictures if you guys need but its hard for me to get a camera.

Thanks for the advice guys, I figured that it might just be slight nute burn because the new soil I put them in has some time release fertilizer in it too. Should I flush them out or would this release a bunch of the fertilizers already in the soil...any ideas.

Flushing with time release nutes is def gonna be a prob thas jus gonna release more nutes into tha soil so that's out tha window ...but def could be nute burn though

so I guess I'll just water without nutes from now on and hope everything goes okay...so far the nute burn isn't really that bad only on 3 of 5 plants and just barely turning the tip yellow. Thank for the advice.

yeah seriously, I am having what sounds like the same exact problem as you...one of my plants has been yellow...snipped the bottom yellow, more turned yellow, and the plant is dropy, fuck time release nutes...anyways I tried givin it more nitrogen but it didnt do anything, Im really thinkin its the PH now...PH seems to be more important than I thought..:neutral:

not really a problem but IS the start of one if your talking about reddish/purple stems anywhere on her.

More flowering food that is rich in phosperous should take care of the problem.
