Hey All!!!!!
Im on my second run with Zeps Sour Saver 2.5 , DAMN GOOD STUFF! But Im having a problem, the plants look great tell I switch to flower. My nute regiment is : FF GB,LK,Protech in veg and I switch to FF TB,BB,LK,SWEET. The yellowing seems to be happing to all my girls in flower?

In chat today a few ppl said it might be N def. So tonight I gave them 10ml -1gl of FF BG hopefuly that helps. The last run looked very sparce by the time the girls where done. It seemed that one 2 MMM even the lil leaves on the bud yellowed a bit. They all look great before I do the switch. By the way Im using a organic soil mix in buckets I water from the top(and well) Im using a 400wt with six plants at about 24". My temps are well at 78-82 lights on and 65-70 or so with lights off. this run I have two SS 2.5, two MMM three Free Love and one Mindfuck. PLEASE HELP FELLOW ICMAGERS !!

Heys SD if the N addition doesn't clear it up then I feel it may be the adjustment to the flowering nutes went a bit harsh. I usually work her up to the flowering feeding plan gradually over her 1st week in bloom and sometimes I add a little epsom salt and a flush to help if she's yellowing. Hope this helps and good growing to you ~

Check your PH first and if it's OK you might have lockout due to incompatible fertilizers.You are using a lot of different stuff and this could certainly be the case.

Hey guys thanks for the info!! I was in chat last night talking to Sin and he kind of said the samething. When I would switch the girls to flower I would stop feeding them the FF Grow Big and switch right away to the FF TB,BB so that drops the N down to like 2 from about 8-10. I guess Ill try the more gradual change ,lower the veg as I increase the flower. My Ph runs 6.8-7.0 at all times.

Just wanted to give a thumbs UP to Zep, ALL my friends LOVE the SS

I use to have the same problem. Would go into flowering and a few weeks later everything was yellowing. Now like a week before i put the plant into flower i add sea bird guano (high in nitrogen) to the soil. So when i water, it slowly dissolves the guano. Giving it enough nitrogen during flower. Hope this helps. Peace and *bong*

The more I hear , the more it sounds like N dif. I guess Ill be changing a few things ! Thanks all you guys are SOOOOO helpful!!!!!

Good News!!! All r help paid off ! I added 5ml FF GB and cut back a lil on the TB for the last few feedings . Very thing is turning green I guess I was always soooo afraid of using N in flowering because of the naste and all. But I guess if used only in the first 2 wks or so when its going all of its streching N would be a good thing. I suppose that as long as you flush for 2 wks all is cool. Anyways THANKS 4 ALL THE FAST HELP GUYS!!!!!!!!!

right on Dev... I'm going to give this a shot on my next batch headed for bloom, sounds like a plan man ~

Good news Skunky, way to work it out and fine tune your babies... and you're absolutely right on with a 2-week flush, that should eliminate any negative effects on your buds peAce

Nice info guys
I often have similar problems when switching to 12/12, so have found this info most interesting.

I use that PSB too [ the newer formula 10-10-0 ] and it will burn like hell when its added dry to the soil, I think even the first part of the instructions say to use it added with water. Then the other thing that stuff does is radically raise the ph. If enough of that is in the soil and you do a flush it could kill the plant.
