Hey guys,

I put my plants into flowering for about 5 days or so. I just realized that the bottom leaves are yellowing. I think it is a nutrient defficiency because i haven't given them any flowering nutes yet, but i need an experts opinion.

thanks everyone

Well, lets see, you put the plants into the flowering light cycle, you haven't given them any nutes for 5 days, hmmm........?? SO what do you think you need an expert for??
The yellowing of the bottom leaves is probably not related to the 'nutrient deficiency because I haven't' etc. Its probably natural, the plant will shed some leaves it doesn't need.

Every plant I have ever grown has yellowed some during flowering. Just keep an eye on the basics and hope for the best. Nutrients are probably your last worry. What kind of soil are you using?

Yes, you are probably right Victor. My concern is that the yellowing started at the bottom and has been progressively moving upward. No leaves is no bud and no bueno

The name of the soil is Edna's Best. It's an organic soil loaded with good shit. I.e. Bat guano, peat moss, worm castings etc.

I don't think that nutrients are your problem then. Flowering nutes are still a recomendation, but the soil should have enough food for your baby.

If all of theleaves look like the one in the picture you have good reason for concern. Hvae you given them any water in these five days etc. can you post a piture showing the whole plant. VV

Smoke2420 I thought the same thing, but with the bat guano and worm castings an N defieciency is an unlikely culprit.

doesn't the soil get depleated after a certain amount of time?

your plant doesn't appear to be big enough to have drained out organic nute sources already. I might be wrong though. Any more pics?
