by bottom leaves, do you just mean some of the older growth near or close to the bottom of the plant? is your new growth still nice and lush green and the top of the plant looking good?
if its only a couple of the older leaves, this is perfectly normal to occour when growing out mj plants..
if you could post some pix, it would definitely help get you a diagnosis..

At the begining I thought that the leaves turning yellow were the old ones, but it seems that some of the new one on the bottom near the roots are turning yellow. On the upper side the plant is great. Here are and some photos because earlier I had a problem and couldn't upload. Thnx again. 28012011542.jpgHere are and some pics.

in a few of the pix, it almost looks like the plant is flowering.. am i correct about this? anyhoo's, most flowering nuits cut back on the nitrogen and increase the p and k ratios as plants don't need as much nitrogen in flowering as nitrogen is mostly responsible for keeping your plant green.. i have found though that adding a lil extra n during flowering will help to keep them green up till harvest time, or pretty near it..

that looks normal, you could get a suplement with nitrogen and add to your mix. are you useing a 1 part nuts or is it a 2 part/3part?

Actually is a 3 part nute, I use an nute with NPK 6-5-6, the Big Bud with 0-2-3 (organic) and the Guardian Angel with 2-0-0.

Attitude is a distributer, not a breeder.

There is not they're.

Help yourself dude.
Wake up on the wrong side of the bed SC? LOL And Kost the others are right, looks like they need a boost of N. What brand of nutes are you using? That is a very interesting set a rotios they give you to work with? Guessing the 6-5-6 is the base. 0-2-3 a bloom booster and the 2-0-0 a micro?

I'm just tired of this BS

"I use a nute its x-y-z"

As though how much they use of the nutrient is not important. Is it granular. Is it liquid? How often is it used?

I mean... At a certain point don't we have to just go... Fucking what?!?! Really? You think that information isn't important? Who cares about pH right? I mean, soil brand... totally unimportant... Watering frequency? Too many fucking syllables. How does someone even spell sill-ah-bills.

Is it a 150w actual wattage or equivalent lighting? Given the lack of relevant info it's hard to assume that we're talking "actual" here.

The last thing this plant needs is a nitrogen boost. More nutrients is not the answer. It is already well into flowering and the upper parts of the plants are healthy. These lower leaves are completely unimportant and whatever "damage" we see occurred at least a week before this diagnosis... so what good is it really when we're talking about a flowering plant?

Also, when I see that dense media all I can think is over watering. Probably from a time ago... but given the thinness of the stem... certainly.

I cannot figure out what bothers me more. The blind leading the blind... or just the blind... I definitely need to drink less often. Hangovers are totally fucking lame.

Probably not having your experience I did not mention the info that is needed. Ok me bad. First of all the wattage is actual and not equivalent. Secondly the nutes are liquid, diluted in water, with the ratios that are suggested on the packaging(in 1 lt bottled water). I water them every 3 days with mineral water trying not to overwater them (I try to avoid water running down the holes of the pot) and I feed them with 5-7ml of the solution every 3 days. Hope I was more specific this time. Another question I have is that the light I am currently using is cool white, should I change it to warm white????

Not specific enough. No.

7ml is 40% more nutrition than 5ml. So is it 5 or is it 7?

Run off is also very important, especially when feeding soil with nutrients.
When you refer to the solution... You claim to be using 5-7ml of "solution." Your choice of words is extremely confusing.

For something this simple just understand that the failure is not yours. It is the grammar school you attended that was supposed to teach you how to write a descriptive paragraph.

I don't understand why it would ever come out like that... It's so simple.
I have Brand X Nutrient solution. It contains an element profile of x-y-z. I use Xml of this solution in one gallon of water. I do not measure the pH or know the electrical conductivity.

Water when it is dry. Not according to some schedule. Mineral water is extremely expensive. Why go through the trouble when Spring or RO filtered ware costs a few cents per gallon.

Or may be I am not from your country and I try to explain the best way I can, and there are not the same brands of nutes. Any way thnx for the advice.
