Yellow tops, green bottoms... Maybe too frequent watering? Who knows, you?

Hello everyone, hope all is well.

I have 12 plants in flowering, although I think I induced flowering too soon, as I did not see preflowers before I switched to 12/12. Things were going great, the girls exploded, so I continued to water everyday. I use tap water with biothrive bloom, and I use roughly 4 gal split equally between the 12 plants. I think this is too much? I believe that I may have caused my roots to lock out and now it looks like I am not getting N to my babies. I am noob and could be totally wrong. I have not flushed my soil, in a different thread on the same topic it was recommended. My setup is in a location that would making flushing difficult, so before I go about doing that I want to get more opinions. The yellowing of the leaves started with one plant, and now all of them seem to be showing signs, mostly on the tops. I am not sure if I have the lights too close, 2 hps (600w and 400w.) Pictures are attached and advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you everyone, happy gardening.View attachment 1084947View attachment 1084948View attachment 1084949View attachment 1084950View attachment 1084951View attachment 1084952View attachment 1084953View attachment 1084954View attachment 1084955View attachment 1084956

You are over watering and thus over nuteing.

STOP IT! STOP IT NOW!! Save the children.

Thanks haha. So should I just let them be for a few days and only use straight water?

Ideally you should flush with phd water 3x the container size. But if that is not possible just let them dry out and only H2O after that then start back with 1/4 of the GO BT Grow.

Ok, so they are in 5 gal buckets. I am going to let them dry out, I fear they could get damaged physically moving them to a flushable location. When I do begin watering again, how much plain water should I apply to each? How often there after should I water? How long so should I water before adding Biothrive Grow to the water? Thanks a lot, you're a great help!

Try giving the same amount. And waiting I mean like 5-7 days or until the leafs droop.

flush that shit... its cooking!!!!

Right, thanks. Should I wait until I see the leaves change to less yellow before I add Biothrive Grow to the water? What indicators should I be looking for to know when to add the nutes again? Once again, thank you.

He already said he can't flush.

I would not add nutes for 3 more warterings, which should be in 10 - 15 days.

You need to get someone eleses input on nutes i really don't know enough about them to be helpful

Alright. Well I can flush tomorrow with the help of my buyer, he is the only other person aware of my setup in the real world. Do you think that it can wait another day?

y cant he flush????

What is your choice? You are not going to water so if it waits till tomorrow then you have lost nothing. Better late than never.

Could be for the same reason i can't.... it would be a major security protocol violation.

I can't flush because I am worried that they will be damaged moving them to a place in the house that I can flush. Currently, I can not think of a way to dispose of the flushed water in the location they are in. Its the attic. However, I can move them with the help of a friend, I have only one that knows about my garden.

jus go get 3 more 5 gal buckets... put the plant in 1 to catch the run off... 1 to fill with water and dump it in the plant.. and another bucket to dump the catching bucket as u can only let it get so high unless u evevate th plant from the catcher bucket

Ok, thanks. I can try that. Do you think that I can wait 1 day?

LOL I give up.

No you have to do it before the timer counts down from 108 or it's the end of the world as we know it......

Haha Bonzi, if that's the case thank you for the help you provided. I really do appreciate it. I wish good growing and a good weekend. I am scared for my babies. This is my first grow. Anywho, thanks for your input.
