This Black Domina was doing fine until very recently. I flipped the plant into flower and gave it a low dose of Dr Hornby's Iguana Juice Grow. I checked the run off and it was 5.4! So I flushed it well with plain tap water, ph 7.2. The run off stayed the same. I added Nutriculture Ltd pH Up - 24.5 per cent potassium hydroxide - and the pH went up to about 5.9. Pretty low for soil but I reckoned I'd leave it a few days to see how it went.

Then all the new growth went very pale, almost yellow. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong? It is very noticeable because the healthy leaves are a really dark, shiny green.

Pix below. I've included a shot of the pot to give an idea of size.

Again all help gratefully received.

It's quite normal for new growth to be lighter than the old, especially during the initial flowering strech.

This is some of my plants after three days of flowering


Just keep an eye on them, and that they are infact getting darker in the next week or two.

Yes, anthony that is very normal, now if they were growing out and staying that color something would be wrong, but that is totaly natrual due to the plants new leaves not having it's chlorophyll.
