alright I just tested my runoff water. im about 4 weeks into flower and getting a lot of yellow all over the plant almost no green left. I phd my water to 6.6 and the runoff is reading about 7.3 7.4 what should I do? do I have lockout?

What are you feeding. size of pots. soil/medium. and please post a pic. I doubt it is ph if everything going in (after adding nutes) is 6.6. I don't test runoff personally. could just need some N. maybe give some veg nutes. but that is pure guess without more info and pics.

How long did it take to go from green yellow on upper leaves?

How far into flowering r u? Reason i ask is that giving N to flowering plants not good. The plant is looking for more P then anything right now. I do think that it is some sort of nute lock, but i think it has to with the alkalinity of your medium. Solve that problem and I think you might see a difference. Try some Dolimite, it should help with the PH balance in the medium. Good Luck and Happy Smoking :bigjoint::bigjoint:

absolute complete myth. I have used veg nutes, start to finish last 2 runs and have best results ever. Using foliage pro, 9-3-6 High N low P. It is the key to dank.

the nutes he is using are high P low N, that's what is causing some of his problem.

So you are well into flower and you just got the ph tester? Thus you have no idea what the ph has been all grow until the last watering. I bet you will be surprised what ph is in the water and nutes mix you have been feeding.

You may want to flush her out real well if it is lockout.

that's another thing that is a problem, people always like to blame it on p.h.

I stopped using bloom nutes, I stopped p.h. ing. P.h would have to be WAYYYYYYY off to cause lockout.

flora nova bloom in veg?? Not good.
I would do a couple plain p.hed waterings to start, let them dry after each watering, then feed her something like dyna-gro foliage pro.

yeah well I was told it was good even seen pics online of people that use it straight through with no problems, also if you look up lucas formula it shows its a 1 part system 8ml per gal veg through bloom
