this happens every time i get to this point. 3 weeks in. soil. organic nutes. PH is at 6.5. i fed 1/2 a dose 3 waterings ago, full dose the next watering then a double dose of bloom. the new growth starts to come out greener than before but once the blades on the leaves open they start fading. my stalks were purple but since feeding this past week the have started to grow green. it almost looks like it's gonna get better but then it doesn't. i'm losing fan leaves due to them yellowing then turning gold and falling off. it looks like it needs bloom but my feedings don't seem to be helping. i flushed with 3 times the normal amount of fresh water this evening. do they just want more nutes? :confused::confused:

maybe a mag def ?

have you tried feeding any magnesium. i dont know now that you flushed the soil may be lacking this.

try one TBLS of epsom salt per gallon with your normal feeding.:peace:

this used to happen to me, then I started giving them strate veg nutes for the first 2 weeks or so of 12/12, i realized my problem was I started feeding them bloom nutes right when i went 12/12...but this is also right when they start to do the most vegitative growth...during the first 2 weeks of flowering, they''l double or triple in size god sakes...they become nitrogen hogs.........but looks like you are giving them veg nutes along with bloom....hmmmm

you noticed the white leaf tips. :mrgreen: yes, i was feeding veg and bloom. the first 2 feeding were both the last feeding was a double dose of just bloom. i think they may have been getting better now that i look at them. i'm sure the flushing won't hurt. i will feed a full dose of veg and a double dose of bloom on the next feeding. then see where i'm at.

my temps are in the low 70's, 60's during lights out, and i vegged under floros.

hmm i see, im looking to grow in small pots too. even before i read skunk's post about his experiment i was going to try it. it just doesnt make sense that you NEED a huge pot. ive seen plenty of plants that seem way too big for the pots they were in, so i thought why wouldnt marijuana be able to do the same. so how tall is that plant? and was it a clone? :peace:

this is what started it all.....IMG_2676.jpg



i started from clones. they were 20" when they went into flower. they've only grown 5 inches in 3 weeks.

hey fdd it also looks like you may have some water retention in the soil....maybe try adding some perilite to the medium could let the water run through easier and not get that murky mud in the bottom of the pots..just an idea..
