Lime Green

[jbarker02]

Ok so the new growth is turning almost lime green instead of dark green so Im thinking not enough N can anyone let me know.

I'm using Fox Farm Ocean Mix, Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom on these girls they are in day two of flower, I've been using the fox farm feeding chart to feed them so right now its two tsp of TB and one tbl of BB. oh and the three strains that you see are Holland's Hope, AK-47, and Sour Diesel any ideas?

if your gonna feed some N...do it now...dont wait till further into veg.


looks like Nitrogen.

what kind of water do you use?

 

[jbarker02]

just normal old tap water but i test the ph before watering and its always right around 6.5 i fed it 4 tsp of Fox Farm Grow Big per gallon today and going to see if it helps

Could be night temps too low. I have also had this happen when I am getting an Iron deficiency. If it's Iron def, it hit newer leaves first, while Mag def hits the middle area first.

 

[jbarker02]

yeah its hitting all the new growth none of the old growth is turning this color just the new stuff

Is that an LED in there? What do you think of it?

Is that an LED in there? What do you think of it?

yeah its a 90 watt ufo and two 68 watt cfl im liking it so far but this will be the first grow with it so im doing it only for experimental reason because im in a small apt. so

so i just got back from my local dispensary and he said it might be too much water but ive always thought droopy leaves it what happens with too much water any ideas would help this is only my fourth grow so i need help, the first three grows i had help

It looks like your night temps are getting too cold. I had it too all the new growth was coming through slowly and lime green.

It dont look like over watering to me,having overwatered plants myself.
it could be cold lights of temps me thinks too..but dont take my word pls..

 

[jbarker02]

i don't know i need to get a therm. pretty quick but the therm. in my apt. said 70 F and i bedroom door is closed all night and when i came out it felt cold in the living room where the therm. is and i was just in the closet so.......i don't think its that i'll take some pics out of the lights.

 

[jbarker02]

here they are just under the ceiling fan light

plants lighten up a bit when you put them into flower.


did you just flip them?

cold temps and iron can also cause this...looks like new bud growth or cold temps...they look good to me.

 

[jbarker02]

yeah just flipped them two days ago

 

[dybert]

Is it just me, or is that normal? Most of my new growth comes out bright green and then takes on the color of the darker leaves over time... Your plants look healthy to me.

 

[Kronikal_kiwi]

Definately not Nitrogen Def as this starts from the lower leaves.

 

[jbarker02]

i just don't remember this happening to my other grows but then again i wasn't the one doing all the work really all i did was make sure they had water but we'll see i did add some N so see if that darkens it up

Lime green is the normal shade for new growth, especially in flowering. That's how I check my daily growth rate. The new growth is lime....
