Rapid yellowing. Help!

Two of my plants are starting to yellow, but the rest are fine but they are also different strains. It is occurring in the old and new growth, but not as much in the middle. The Caramel could use some added nitrogen considering I am not giving it much now but I really doubt that is the problem. It has been raining more than usual in my area so the water schedule is unfortunately somewhat random. I water when they dry out (which isn't very often), and nature takes over for the rest. After a heavy rain I sometimes fertilize directly after. I figure if a pot is already saturated it might as well have some fertilizer. This has only started in the last couple days. Can anyone diagnose this?

Cream Caramel Fast Version and Sweet Skunk Auto

Outdoor
3 gallon pots
Majestic Earth pro potting mix (amended with happy frog fruit and flower, bone meal, and extra perlite)
Nutes: Fox Farm big bloom for both and tiger bloom for the auto

If you need anymore information please let me know.

Cream Caramel Fast Version (starting sixth week of veg)


Sweet Skunk Auto (beginning of second week of flower, six weeks total)

iwould have to say the real problem is all the rain flushing out the soil . but the yellowing from the stem side of leaf going out to the tips on new growth looks like a sulfer defiency . grow big is good stuff and i use it when i see a def in a plant that i need a fast uptake .also looks like some nitrogen def on bottom fans . the rain is what's wp . can u shelter them in any way when it starts to down pour ?

Thank you for confirming what I was thinking. Grow big is the only one of the trio that I do not currently own, but I will pick some up as soon as possible. I put ice fishing hole covers over those two today just before a big rain, but I need to come up with a permanent method that offers rain protection, ventilation, and easy watering. I wish I could just keep them on my deck and bring them in whenever they needed it. Unfortunately that is simply not an option

Great time to transplant them into larger pots.

I guess I would do it the same way I always transplant. If too wet to come out of the pot, let them dry a bit first. I've transplanted damp pots many times and not had an issue as long as roots are in good. I've got a really good draining soil mix so maybe that is a prerequisite?

I'm going to leave the autos but that caramel should have been in at least a five to start. I will transplant after they dry a little, but I'm sure their roots are fine either way.

Haha that would go over well. Actually I won't need to. I made suspended disks out of metal roofing. Pictures if they work well.

how about foliage feeding. it definitely needs some nute, especially nitrogen. GL

All the rain has caused the medium to stay too wet too long and now they have a major root system issue. Yellow new growth is usually problems in the root system. Also being in all that scrub doesn't help as no sun or air can get to the pot to help dry it between waterings.

I brought them inside for now in a dehumidified room. I have been worried about this problem basically since I started them. Last year there was a major drought and of course now it won't stop raining. Also those two were only in that junk for two days. I needed to move them around a bit.

All you can do is hope for the best as this is a major issue. Next time put them in holes in the ground as it drains better and in drought holds water longer than a pot.
