is yellowing and dying leaves symptoms of root bound??? or is it just a side effect of flowering? my plants are in very samll pots for thier size. 3 feet tall with pots a little under 2 gallons. MOST of the leaves are turining yellow and some then fall off. but everything near the buds looks healthy.

hmmm I'll have to keep up on this 1 I have had the same problem and currently have it agian. I am begining to think you are right.
The first pic was a week ago now I have lost the bottom 2-3 sets of fans. Same pots 2 gallon bout 3 feet tall. I used to grow small in 1 gallon pot with only 150 watt hps. now i added a 250 watt hps and have the 150 4 side light. i thought going to a 2 gallon would help but the extra light = extra growth, but also extra bud.

2nd pic is another that has lost those bottom fans in the last week.

the biggest problem with small pots is toxicity and dring out too fast. the yellowing happens when nitro levels drop. if your dropping all of your sun leaves you have a problem

ya I hear ya, theres always a few variables. a few crops ago I was using shultz bloom powder it was something like 10-54-10. very fine line between p toxicity and n defiecency, I guess using small pots was only compounding the problem. along with cutting out the ferts in the last week-week 1/2. Now I'm using floro nova from general hydro.
I expected these plants to be done a week or 2 ago so I could have used ferts a little longer.but they keep bulking up even with the yellowing. they are about 40-50% ready as far as the pistols tell me. Always learning I love it

ohh yeah! with the 2 gallon pots i'm watering about every 3-4 days using sunshine mix #4. and my sun leaves arent dropping per say, I don't remove leaves unless they fall off from a light tug, i figure if there still holding on they are probably still feeding the plant or moving the nutes to another area of the plant.

i had the same proble. does anyone know the best pot size for doing a sea of green style?

i posted the same question last week about root bound symptoms,not a big responce,i hope you get some replies.would like to see the results.good luck.

see if the root are poking out of the bottom of your pot they might be root bound if they have no where to go but out. from my understanding root bound means they have taken up every bit of possible space in the pot
