Yellow leaves, tried everything, help plz.

Hello RIU

I am having a recurring yellow leave problems..... I am using Fox Farms nute line, have tried adding Epsoms salts for Mag def, also tried Blood meal tea for Nit def. Nothing has really worked. Im still getting sickly yellowing leaves.
I have a feeling that i over compensated on trying not to over water and over nutes them, and because of that they have had a nute def i think for a bit and i have tried to pump them full the last month or so. But they still look yellow and sickly.

I have gotten advice to transfer them into DWC bucket, or to drill holes in the bottom of my current soil pots and set them over a DWC bucket so that the roots will grow into the dwc from the soil, apparently this will fix my yellowing issue.
Im just trying to get as many pieces of advise as i can, not trying to distrust anyone, just seeking as many options as i can.

How traumatic will the transplant from soil to DWC be??

Im at my wits end....no shit in seriously stressing over this. Id love to start flowering soon, but i want this issue to be gone so i get nice buds with no bullshit
>..< Please take a look at my pics, and see what you can come up with.
I am a first time grower and this is my 1st set of plants, all has gone well except for this... so after trying everything in teh book for possible Nit, MAg and cal def....im stuck.>.<

Add some zinc and iron.
Zinc makes the edges yellow, iron makes the whole new shoots yellow... But it will def solve your prob.

Looks like lockout issues. Wheres your pH at?

i think marlboro is on to something...the raised ridges, and yellowing tell me it is zinc deficient...but i dont really see a good whole up close plant shot, that would suggest iron deficiency...if new growth is also yellowing, then it is possible as iron is immobile...again though, nothing showing me to suggest iron, but zinc yes...and it is hard to say if it is lacking or locked out...if you think you fed to much, then you probably did...meaning a lockout. if thats the case...flush flush, if not, then feed.

is there any sort of supplement that will provide extra Zinc?? Or shoudl i just flush and flush and then renute?

What kind of soil are you using?

Fox Farms ocean soil. Fox farms Nutes.
I so fucking frustrated by the yellowing its angering,...

I know they are a bot ver watered..the soil is wet and hard about an inch under the soil.

You might wan't to look into Subcools super soil mix if your keeping them in the same pot. I transplant 3 times so the roots are always getting fresh nutes all the way throu and i havent had any problems since doing this. Trying to go another 8 weeks in those pots isn't going to turn out well if there rootbound allready. I allways have problems when i don't transplant to bigger pots.

i took the screen off to get a better look and its worse than i thought...
ALL the under growth is yellow and sickly.

i am not really sure what to do..... not really sure what i haven't tried..i ph my water to 6.5 or so. Feed them a gallon each feeding, enough that about 10-25% comes out the bottoms into teh pan.
fed blood meal tea, a few full strength nute feedings. Epsoms salts.
Not one thing has made a fuck all of a difference.....

Im thinking they might be root bound??? will that cause any of this? they are only in 3.7 gallon pots and have been vegging for 2months or so.

HElp me plz.....

If its zinc do i just flush heavily to cure it?? or is there a way to add zinc etc?



Also cute kitten pics snce they were all up on me lolz

I might be totally wrong, but I think the issue is yoir roots. Its possible you have some sickness down there. I know yoh said you gave them tea, whicj should have helped... Maybe hydrozyme would help....oh, or hydrogen peroxide woll get rid of root rot. Whats the ph of your runoff....its kust as important as ph of your nutes.

Damn my typing there was bad....

Well i tried the Hydrogen peroxide, along with the flush i am doing..... im fairly certain that they are nute burned perhaps..... its been 6 weeks since i flushed them IIRC.

they just got worse after i gave them the full nutes 3 days ago. more yellow more dead baby leaves.... here are the sad pics....

see even my Sweet little kitteh is ashamed

yes over fertilisation of the medium. clam down on those foods.

Next time you water check your run off for any tiny bugs.

so it does seem like over nute then???

yes. over fertilisation of the medium.

what a high salt concentration does is block thepassage of K ions. which is why the plants look beautiful one day and the next you're battling with crispy leaves. what you htink of as nutrient burn is actually necrosis caused by a K deficiency... a deficiency brought about by over feeding the medium.
