I woke up today to see my plants exhibiting some sort of deficiency? my pictures were taken with my cell phone so they are probably not the best of quality but hopefully good enough for someone to I'd the problem. there is yellowing of the veins on the top half of the plant. it's pretty consistent on almost all my plants about 75 percent of them. I'm going to test the ph and the ec using the 2/1 method later today but I'm hoping someone can I'd the problem so I can at least know what I'm dealing with.
thank you

i see your plants are flowering so the leaf issues could be the natural process of the plant reclaiming nutes etc back to feed the flowers...

so its not a calcium or magnesium issue? it seems like more plants are showing that same orange veins today.

day 33 of flower in Promix hp.I feed chem ferts( optimum hydroponix). just jumped up to ec 2.2 for the first time.I usually water, feed, water, feed.I added some greenplanet massive to them which raises ppm by 400. I'm thinking I over feed them, but last grow they handled ec 2.2 for week 5 and 6 no problem. going to water them extra good, maybe 2 times in a row. just not sure what the leaves are telling me. nute burn looked different to me. any ideas?

What are the roots like. If you can get at them see what colour they are or if they are infected by pests.

Just an idea. Yeah your feed is high too. Maybe flush em out and feed a lower dose till they seem happy with it, but I don't see no nute burn so might not be the problem.

See what others say. Good luck.

my roots are good. looked under a 60x microscope. nice and healthy.a GROWER made me paranoid of root aphids a while ago and now I'm vigilant. my leaves are going lighter green and snapping in the middle when I bend them back. getting brittle.
help?

what's the ph of your run off?

mid flower is when the fans start to go anyway and looking at how crystally your nugs are i wouldn't be surprised if they are just sequestering energy back from the fans by that point.. it's the new growth you should worry about, so long as that looks good then things are fine..

New growth meaning buds?36 days into flowering, haven't noticed any new fan leaves, just buds swelling. other than the lighter green/orange veins/brittle leaves, my plants are swelling up and looking good. hope it's nothing serious but I have a lot riding on this so I'm paranoid of everything

this Old Fart can't see yr symptoms from those pics.

it's the right time for yr large leaves to begin to Senesce ... to get old and become useless.

challenge yr paranoia ... focus on yr new growth!

Chiming in to add a +1 on the "they're getting old" bandwagon, for now.

Any other observable differences between the leaves in question and other leaves?

I feed the exact same solution to my other plants that are exactly 2 weeks younger and they didn't exhibit these symptoms so I think you guys are right. the plants look super amazing other then those leaves. real tight buds swelling more and more. just got scared. I've seen them yellow off and die but this kind of freaked me out. never noticed them be so brittle before. well, thanks a lot

they look pretty good to me. some of the leaf tips show very slight signs of over feeding but its so small that most people would call it perfect. Maybe lower your nutes down slightly. just out of curiousity, what are the nitrogen ratios of your nutes?

for my flowering nutes its 6%. 4% fast acting 2% slow acting. sorry, its late and the specific names escape me...ammoniacal nitrogen and something or other.

well, turned out really good I guess,all of the aforementioned leaves yellowed and died.some had a little burn to them.probably from feeding koolbloom at full dose but my buds look amazing.hugs rock hard buds.thanks for all the help
