hey fellas...what you guys think this shit is...it affects some of my strains...but it always effects my duck diesel...the lowers really yellow fast and it eventually spreads to the fan leaves around the buds :( ...these leaves were taken off about day 30ish, and they are fed pureblend pro soil with cal-mag every watering...what do you guys think about a fresh water drench like every 2-3 waterings?? any ideas please, thanks

I think that is very beneficial for the plant to have straight waterings without nutrients every couple of waters.

Try cleaning your medium out by flushing or using Sensizyme or hygrozyme, and then start of 1/4 strength with your feeds. Adding a buttload of food and all that ain;t gonna help just make worse, so when in doubt flush it out. Good luck, also make sure the light is strong enough to penetrate lowers could be lack of light as well.

well today i watered with just plain water i haven't been pumping nutes at all...nothing crazy... the lowers in that picture look to me like lack of light...but this leaf is from the top of the plant..it happens all over the plant, not just the bottoms...

3ltr? and your in flower? you say yellowing starts at bottom and moves up and your plant is stretching? sounds like all the signs of needing to transplant asap to me!!!!

Water source would be one of the first things I'd change...and drop the nutes down. FFOF/LW already has some nutes in it as well, so it's gonna take a little customizing to get the desired mix you need.

What's the water PH before and after nutes? Kinda sounds like you might have a buildup of buffers in the soil that are goofing with nute uptake...

water source? check run off, also i always follow the fert water water fert, works for me > <, im with sandman on this... can you see any salt-buildup on the side of the pots (remove some of the soil from teh side)?

no they don't need transplant, and..i will check tommorow guys for the salt buildup thing on the pots...although i haven't noticed anything like that...the water coming out of tap is 7.7ish...after the recommended dosage of PBP and calmag it's 6.4...and def. the alternating thing sounds bomb to me...imma give that a shot...thanks guys :woohoo:

ok guys...I did not see anything buildup or anything on the sides of pots or anything like you guys were saying look for...but let me ask you this...since it's over feeding you guys think, and i've always heard the TW was a big feeder, and it looks the best...it all makes sense right?? the TW is getting just about the heavy dosage it needs, while the other "lighter" feeders are fucked up...make sense?? most all the plants have had there fresh water drench...i am going to fresh water drench them twice in a row before i feed again...sound good guys?? thanks for your help everyone!

sounds good to me k1lla, if you own an EC/PH meter... test the runoff and post up what the results are.

Sounds like you got it figured out KK...Can you just amend the soil for the TW a little with some guano or something and feed them all the same weaker nute mix? Seems like that'd be the easiest way to keep them all happy IMO...

i can feed em all tailored mixes if i want?!?!?!? i have no problem doing that, they don't all have to get the same mix, i just did cuz it's easy and what was the "recommended" now that i know im just going to feed the wreck the same as the others and see what happens...she does have teaf tip burns like the rest...
