I have 4 plants just started second week of 12/12. I've got prob 3 big fan leaves on bottom that turn yellow and pulled off easy and a few smaller ones on bottom off shoots. Is that normal or a littler to early and need more N. I have lots of air, 1000 Hps 75 day 65 night ff nutes ff soil ph6.5 every time run off about 6.3.

Pics always help but a safe assumption that it's a Nitrogen deficiency. Personally I've continued veg nutes longer into flower in conjunction with flower nutes until tapering them off longer into flower. I grow organically in soil though so your circumstances might differ. :yes:

Hello Farmer.
True enough 2 weeks into flower could be considered a little early especially if its a 10 weeker or longer.
I also continue my vegetative cycle until the stretch is over.
With most strains that is 2-3 weeks.
If your plants are long finisher you could put a mild fertilizer down the sides of the pot.
Depending on what you think your plant is asking for.
Most yellowing down low could very well be a N deficiency!
I find feather meal 12-0-0 a ideal fertilizer to keep some nitrogen going it is slow release long time.
With plants that take 10 weeks or more I will always lay some feather meal down low in the flowering pots.
IF you don't have any slow mild release N fertilizer you could use a TBLSP of almost any organic complete fertilizer.
Or a bulb food 3-8-8 , fruit and flower 5-8-8 , Organicare pure bloom is another good one 1-5-4 .
You should be getting a better picture of what I am saying .
You'll need the P and K in flower soon enough.

I use fox farm. I have fed it big bloom,grow big, tiger bloom, cha Ching and kelp me kelp you. Not sure if you guys are familiar with that. Lights are out now and took leaves out as they were 90% dead or dead. Plants are the purps 8-9 week flower. 4x4 room 25-32 inch at the moment. Getting way to big for the room.
Not sure how to upload pic either as I'm new
I prob need to up all the doses as there is no sign of nut burn.
I use Hydrofarm 5 gal smart pots and pretty sure there to small already.

YO B! I had some similar issues as you, I started out rocking ff ocean blend, big bloom, and tiger bloom, tried out adding more nitrogen, ended up locking shit out through ph issues. I felt like every time I added something, I introduced another problem, so I decided to not think for my self and simply do what this thread told me to do

https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=53792

My plants are much happier, and the only time I have had issues is not following the instructions completely (the really do mean every watering if you're going the guano tea route fyi). Your problem def sounds like a lack of nitrogen, but I can't tell you what to add to fix it! Best of luck!

Something to contemplate for next run perhaps, if you are running soil there isn't any reason to be running synthetics instead of organics (my very honest, humble opinion) You are shooting yourself in the foot. Growing in soil is the slowest style of growing but also the most forgiving. If you want to run synthetic nutrients you might want to look into coco or a sunshine mix. If you want to stick with soil I would strongly suggest converting over to organics. Again, just my opinion. :yes:

Posted before seeing the photo - the worst plant thread got my imagination going - those plants look great, maybe a little more N but those girls look good B!
