you most likely got the PH off .In the water or the soil.Iam guessing you are growing in soil? What nutrs are you useing? You may need some cal-mag plus.They are flowering and use up alot of carbos.What kind of lights ,water ,air temps,humidity.we need to know these things to help you with your grils.But I say its a PH problem. Peace

If the tips of your leaf's turned a little yellow right after you fed them, you got a small nute burn, if it didnt go any further than that, you didnt need to flush! this is your plant responding to you. flushing in soil can espcially cause more problems for you.. if you burned the plant so bad whole leafs are burning then yes, flush. But if it's just the tips, leave if be, she'll be fine, now you have a good gauge on how many nutes she wants.

Pics would be better to be sure. make sure your ph is 6-7.

Correct me if im wrong but im pretty sure the PH level is just as imporant as watering your plant, if you cant tell the PH level then i think your done for. i think the PH tabs run for $10 at any fish store.

you have it in miracal-gro, and your feeding that could the propblem, most of those mix's have enough feeding supplies to last up to three mounths. and since you don't won't to buy a ph tester just wait it out.:peace:

agreed^^ but i think it doesnt matter in the beggining stages as much as it would in the veg stage just because the plant is older and more greedy rather then when its young its just striving to stay alive and takes what it can have, but yea i agree with token.

it's normal in flower for the leaves to start to yellow towards the middle to end of flower. your plant is using all the energy that is stored in the leaves to produce those wonder, sticky buds. you can off set this with getting some carbo load from advanced nutrients. it's pretty much pure can sugar that your plants will use instead of the sugar in the leaves. but if you can't don't worry too much, it's normal.

The 1st 2 leaves that came out on a plant i just planted a few wks ago turned yellow on 1/2 the leaf and was kind of droopy. I stopped watering them for 4 days.Then I used a fish emulsion fert.(It doesn't burn your plant) which has phos,nitro and potash. I switched from a grow bulb to a cfl 2" above the plant, put a fan in the closet. I water it about every 4 days. Now it's looking a lot healthier.
