Top leaves are curling down & are lime yellow

Whats up w/this..Tops of some of my plants r curling down & in and r a lime green-yellowish.any advice???

i have same prob HELP ME PLZZZZZZZZZZ

A little more info on how youve been growing it would be more helpful. Possible pictures? Theres a few different reasons it could be curling down like that.

got any pics

Need lots more info here to help. What medium, lights, nutes, stage of growth etc. Pics always help too, lol.

prob fixed

I can't take pics right now but will give you whatever info I can.


Outdoor, started from seeds, transfered to earth 10 days after they popped up... just used miracle grow in the hole. Watered as needed, once every week or so using liquid miracle grow plant food, and since budding bloom booster once a week.

Last week a lot of leaves started yellowing, and now almost the whole plant is yellow. New growth is green at the base, moving to yellow toward the leaf ends. Some of the yellower leaves have black/brown spotting and come off the stem easily.

I have been trimming (hand plucking) fairly irregularly.

The others do not share this problem, and all were treated the same way. The only odd thing about this one was that it was under a street light sort of thing that used to come on when it got dark. Once I realized that this might be why this thing was budding late, I killed the light. It stands to be the best of the bunch, except that I am afraid it is dying.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

look in the FAQ in plant problems look at the pics sounds like a PH problem hard to tell without pics good luck if you've been feeding regularly It's not lacking any nutes.

Here are some cell phone pics. Sorry for the quality.

I do not feel that these images demonstrate the yellowness of the yellow parts... and I spent some time removing them before taking pics. On here it all looks very green. I blame the camera phone.

ok so its obviously starting into flowering. As the plant flowers, it is natural for a good majority of the leaves to yellow/droop. They shouldnt be browning and drying though, like a couple of yours look. possibly a deficiency prob

I guess I was expecting it to look like these...

The first pic (this post) is one that got planted VERY late, and is at about the same stage as the yellow one which was under a bright light at night.

Thank you very much for your input. What sort of deficiency would you guess at?

This is my first time. I did just about everything wrong... but it has been a great learning experience. I would have been lost without this site. Thank you ALL for the wisdom you have imparted.

yellowing is nitrogen typically. If they are browning at edges curling and drying id guess phosphorous. useful page in this forum at top of threads that goes through a description and pics of each type. Go check it out

I did, and that was my amature guess from the info there as well. Was just hoping for some expert opinion.


Thanks again.


Best way to find/administer those?

i had same prob all i done was flush the roots with a shit load of water 4 days later good as new
