My plants leaves are falling off wtf

Jimi O'Connor · Aug 17, 2023

So im on day 11 of flowering 2nd week and my plants have a nitrogen deficiency i think? The leaves are turning yellow at the bottom and falling off. Atleast 2 to 5 leaves fall off a day, this cant be normal right?

For anyone who wants to know im running an indoor grow, 3x3 ac infinity tent. 5 gal pots, sohum living soil. I ph my water to 6.3-6.5, im using ac infinity self watering trays (wicking system, bottom feed) i have ac infinity s33 LED light 240watt. Declorinated tap water. I hit the plants with recharge once a week... im probably forgetting something but thats basically what im doing. This is my 3rd grow, 1st at this new house and likeci said before im pretty sure its nitrogen deficiency or lock-out. Im not to sure what to do for either of them problems. Growing organic you dont want to flush your nutrients so if anyone can help id appreciate it

Im attaching some pics, the one pic of leaves on the tote is how many leaves fell off the plants this time when i opened it up to take the pics

No, but on a serious note - have you fed anything beyond whats in the soil, other than using the recharge? Is this the first time the plant is starting to show issues? It’s rare that a commercially prepared soil would start causing later issues like a lockout, unless it was hot enough from the start to cause problems. The other issue I could think of would be if there was a bunch of slow release fertilizer in there and there wasn’t ample time for it to “cook” before use. Also unlikely. They might just be a little hungry at this size/age. Most people would recommend larger pots for living soils, like 15 gallons, unless you’re prepared to topdress and/or make teas.

If they were mine, I'd topdress with an all-purpose dry fertilizer.

Same^^^ I might even water it in with some Alaska fish fertilizer for a quick boost while the top dress breaks down.

As mentioned above, 5 gallons is a little small for just water and recharge, no matter what your starting mix is...
