Hey guys, this is my first grow and i have been blessed with two ladies from three original plants but im seeing problems with them that are similar in both plants. The leaves around the bottom are yellowing, drying up and dying while the leaves on the top are nice looking. Ive attached some pics and im wondering if i could grab a hand, i started on some pretty diluted bloom ferts with a 15-30-15 count and watered twice so far with it only after seeing this problem.

Thanks in advance


PS the pictures are of the two plants each has a picture from the bottom and a picture from the top,
thanks again

Yellowing from the bottom up is usually an indication of nitrogen deficiency.

Using diluted boom ferts at this stage is the most likely culprit. Those plants are big and healthy enough to be getting more nitrogen. That's my guess.

What kind of soil, lights, watering schedule?

Best of luck.

Im using a 400 W Hps currently and i was going to transplant them to bigger pots in about 30 mins because i feel like they are constricted by the small pots they are in, the soil in these new pots have 1 part perlite 1 part vermiculite 1 part peat and 2 parts soil and I have been watering just when it seems necessary, ( when the plant pots feel on the light side) Do you think it is a good idea to switch back to veg ferts with a 24-8-16 ratio untill the leaves seem to return if they decide to?

thanks again for all the help

yeah nitrogen could be the case but you dont want alot during the flowering phase and depending on how long long you have been flowering leaves will eventually turn yellow and fall off due to using sugars from the leaves to make buds

Have they been actually flowering for the past 2 weeks, or did you switch to 12/12 2 weeks ago? Either way, there's too much yellowing going on for the scant 2 weeks they've been flowering. Imagine what they'd look like in another month if you didn't boost the nitrogen. I would give them a full dose of veg nutes at their next feeding. The leaves that have already yellowed and started to yellow will not come back - they will fall off. Hopefully they'll be just fine. Cheers.
