Discoloration? Is this OK?

[FindYourRythm]

Hi,

Not sure if this discoloration is a sign that the plant is having issues or if it's just a normal growth thing.

Thank you,
Rythm

Looks to me like either a nitrogen or magnesium deficiency.

This is a good thread to read through:

Yea you need flowering nutrients high in phosphorus and potassium also very low in nitrogen I understand you used the potting mix with water only until now is that right ?

the miracle grow plant food has a bit too much nitrogen if you use the rose or flower food from miracle grow use only one small scoop in one gallon or two small scoops in one gallon at the most and for emergency only like right now .it's really because you will delay flower and get extra fluffy buds or dead plants if you rely on it solely
I use the three part open sesame, beastie blooms, and chaching, they work well for me I bought the three big 2 lb cans but you can get the small ones for 40$ they will be enough for a few plants or a couple of grows depends on the plant number

You can pick something else to feed as long as it's high phosphorus and potassium like bat guano like Jamaican or Peruvian if you want to use water only you need to mix your soil beforehand with tons of different slow release organic ingredients then transplant them before flower begins like a month ago with the soil mix being aged at least 2 months so it's harder work than just mix and pour like with synthetic nutrients
One last thing you can do is transplant to a bigger container and top dress with new soil and keep watering that's your best option right now with a bit of the miracle flower or rose food the tomato food won't work so well its more an even mix of food you need high phosphorus and potassium found in the flower or rose miracle grow plant food use those while you wait on the nutrients you order in the mail or go straight to the hydro shop if you got one
Don't use it solely the miracle grow food has too much nitrogen for our needs it's just for emergency or supplement in small amounts one scoop in a gallon two if it's your only food source but not for too long because it has some micronutrients it helps but too much n for flower period

I use the all purpose for veg and mix it with the flower one 50 50 before flower then I switch to open sesame beastie blooms and Cha ching

lots of folks here would say I'm committing a crime and my buds probably suck and don't have flavor won't burn right blah blah because it's synthetic nutrients I say the plants are asking me for it and I can't go mixing and doing all this extra stuff just to satisfy others that aren't even smoking my weed

Calcium, nitrogen....feed organically (teas, kelp, fish fertilizer) or with veg food!!
