My plants are about 45 days old, they were doing fine until I started getting some yellowing on a few of the leaves, and then they would turn brown and die. I looked at a lot of pictures on one of ICMags sites, it looks a lot like some of the nutrients may be locked out. I was wondering if anyone uses epsoms salt to help that. I did flush them with fresh pH water. Thank you for any help. dsjohnston

The medium I am using is Happy Frog, coco coir, & perlite, the nutrients are G.H. flora gro, flora micro, flora bloom, & Cal Mag, I have been following the ratios but not the full amounts, I have at the last feeding added 3 drops of super thrive, & 2 drops of multiply. Thank you, dsjohnston

Have you done same feeding program with earlier grows? And they went fine?
I mean, to me it sounds quite a lot of nutrients?

No, this is my first grow, I just thought I knew how to grow, I farmed and ranched all my life. Growing marijuana is a whole new ball game for me. Thank you

I was ,just guessing about lockout, I didn't know the plant got rid of leaves like you said, thank you for the help, at least I learned something new. Thank you, dsjohnston
without pictures or more information its hard to say, how many mls of each are you feeding ?
how regular are you feeding?
what size pots are they in?
have you ph, ec meters ?
what sort of environment are they in ?

I am just getting this computer figured out, I don't have a clue how to put pictures up. I am feeding every four days, and following the ratios on GH bottles, only not giving the full amounts they call for.They are in 5 gallon pots, at night they are under t-5 light, and a cfl setup with 20 cfl bulbs. In the mornings I put them outside in the sun. I have been told I should buy a more powerful setup to flower, MH, HPS, or a LED setup. Do you have any suggestions, I was hoping to change the bulbs in what I have. Some say that will work fine, others say I will be sorry. Thank you, dsjohnston
how big are the plants? how many nodes do they have. how big were they when you transplanted them to the 5 gals ? how long ago did you do that
the t5s are fine for veg, i use a 200 watt cfl in veg and a 600 watt hps for flower.
epsom salts is a magnesium supplement.

The plants have about 12 branches from bottom to top, some are about 15 inches tall and one is 21 inches tall, they have been in the 5 gallon pots for about 3 weeks now, they were doing great and then the yellowing started, that's when I panicked, I had been adding a couple of additives, the superthrive, Root Excellerator, and Multiply, I should have left them alone with the GH schedule. thank you for your help, dsjohnston
