Northern lights leaves yellowing

[bozzy]

Been having some trouble with my little northern lights girl for the last month i think. And it seems to be getting worse the last couple of weeks. It's been two weeks since i switched to 12/12
Been giving here 1ml biogrow and 2ml biobloom every other watering.
Here is some pictures of whats going on. Its only the lower leaves

epsom salts,if you would of given them it just before 12/12,in my experiance stops yellowing so early.but someone else might know some thing better. iwish you the best with the rest of your grow. mintz

not sure how big the pot is in comparison to the plant...it may be root bound. whats your feeding schedule? it could just be hungry and thats the way its telling you.

try feeding 1 teaspoon of epsom salt per gallon for the next watering, and .5 teaspoons for additional waterings. it may be the nitrogen though...in which case you just need to feed more. also, the leaves appear to be hanging like they are overwatered. If your over watering, the roots may be starved of oxygen ruining nute uptake.

it looks to me like overwatering, the leafs both yellow and greenare droopy

The pot is about 3 liters and the plant is 34cm about 13"
Should i put her in a bigger pot? She's been about 12 days in 12/12
my watering schedual is water-feeding-water every 2-3 days. About 0.6l water
I've been giving her 1ml biogrow and 2ml biobloom every feeding.
I'll be giving her some epsom salt and see what happens

I also forgot to mention that the girl has been turning a brighter green all over. Can it just be that its hungry? I've been spraying her with a epsom salt solution since yesterday.

nl seems to be having this problem lately i dunno why, this run with my nl x cheese im having the same problem, never happened before, im useing the same soil and nutes so i dunno why its happening

Pot-bound,,, the plant has grown big now and has used up all the nutrients in the soil.

Hope this helps

Im current running a pc grow so im low on space. Dont know if i can fit a bigger pot, do you think it will be ok in this pot? Yes i have drainage holes in the pot. Have added a bounch more just to be safe.
Do you think i can fix the problems by upping the nutes?

bigwity: so you have been having the same problems? Is your plants doing alright? How long in flower are you?

 

[bigwity]

i figuered my was from pk over dose, didnt have it last run and i didnt think id fed it that much, but thats what i put it down to

 

[bozzy]

pk overdose? So you think i've been giving her to much nutes?

 

[bigwity]

i dunno mate tbh only you know what youve been giving her, no matter what it is, a good flush and re start half nute will fix it, it always does.

Lower leaves yellowing uniformly, and some leaves purpling. Classic sign of nitrogen deficiency. Although you are in flower there is an over-yellowing of leaves. Feed your plant.

Added some more soil today, so the pot is toppe off. Maybe another 0.5l soil.
gave here 0.5l water with epsom salt, 0,5ml biogrow and 1ml biobloom.

Here is some pictures of the rootball.

You're rootbound mate ! Bigger pot or you'll have endless problems.

I agree.

Bio-Bizz nutes are kinda light and you've only fed on every other watering. NL is a pretty heavy feeder too. So I'd say that is the issue.

 

[bozzy]

How much do you think i should up the nutes?
Any chance it will be ok without getting a bigger pot? I have seriously little room for a bigger pot!

Well it's hard to say. I kinda look at how much stretch there is and decide how much Bio-Grow to give based on that (the more stretch the more grow). I think a good step in the right direction would be to start feeding them every watering. Then see if they still need even more (if new growth starts looking green and lush stick with that - for a while - you'll want to up the bloom later most probably).

A bigger pot would help and make it easier but if you don't have room you don't have room. Be prepared to water often.
