I was wondering if anyone can help diagnose my problem

Medium= Straight Fox Farm Ocean Forest,
Nutes= Fox Farm Grow Big,Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom
Container size= 2 gallon grow bags rolled down about half way
Lighting= 1k

I've been followin the FF feeding chart,everything looked great til about a week or so ago.
Is this just a hungry plant from the stretch?


This pic is 28 days 12/12

2 gallon grow bags rolled down half way

so maybe a gallon then or a bit more?

with that 1k in there I think they are eatin up everything that the fox farms had in it and now is going after the nutes you are feeding them.

how much run off do you allow and do you feed every watering, every other, every 3rd?

what % of the nutes are you using or are you saying you have been using exactly what the soil Fox farms chart says? Most start nutes at 25% of what is stated and build up BUT are you using 100% and if so are you building up as they yellow more.

I think they are hungry myself, small bags, 1k light and odds are ate the soil food awhile ago.

oh. how did i miss that?? (prob that nice pic i guess)

i agree with medmaker.. and i'm curious, were you just running low on $ around repotting time? not to be a douche but thats not the time to be cheap. it might be a little late to put another row bag with more soil under there and cut the bottom off the little one.. but it might not. thats what i would do.

you must be watering all the time with the small amount of medium.

Yes about 1 gallon of soil,vegged for 3 weeks so like you said theyre probly just hungry

I water/feed til I get just a little run off,sometimes a little more than others
I thought maybe I was getting lockout but my run off is good,6.7-6.8

And my schedule is water,feed,water,feed etc....

I also use tap water,7.8ish outta the tap and about 240-250 ppm's

if you are vegging in 1 gal then up pot to 2 or 3 as you put them into flower. a few yellow leaves are no big deal but being root bound will hurt yield.

They were vegged in 6'' pots for a few weeks,they went into the bags about a week before the flip
I dont think rootbound is my issue,I'm thinking theyre hungry
Everything looked great til after the stretch


Thanks for the help

Add some mag cal and dont over water every time i let soil dry and when i feed with nutes i water till i see run off then i let dry alittle..the next 2 watering use plain ph water and i dont let it run off. Soil ph 6.3 and you will do fine...you can always do run off water test to see where you ph leves and tds of the soil just by cheching the first water that comes out the bottom of pots..if corrections need to be made i would also check the last of run off water so you can see where you stand. Currection can also be done by flushing the plant with a mild nute solution this will also currect ph much faster then flushing with plain water

Mine did the same thing last couple runs. Im in 5x5 square pots, from clone in ffof with a 2 week veg before flower. In flower this run i have been feeding every watering at half strength, Gen Hydro nutes and adding Epsom salt. Just got the first yellow leaf at 5 weeks.
Not usually the case for me.

I guessing this shit starts after you give them the plain water. Thats what was happening in my garden. I was doing a feed feed water.

Maybe you could try feeding every time on one or two of your plants, what have you got to lose?
