i've been trying to figure this out, and i think what is happening is this: plants are nitrogen deficient, so the leaves are going yellow because the plant is pouring all of its energy into new bud leaves, and it's not getting enough nutrients from feeding, since i'm only giving plain water right now... so, the plants have been tapping into
their reserve nutes stored in the leaves in order to keep growing the buds at the rate they want, because the coco fiber has no nutes to contribute. not necesarilly a problem, except when you're losing lots of leaves but have weeks to go, they're gonna run out of leaves to cannibalize, and then i imagine bud development grinds to a halt ... |
