Plants were a lush green and growing strong all the way until about 4 weeks into flowering . Growing in regular size (home depot) buckets with Flower Power potting soil. All of a sudden the leaves started going pale and turning yellow starting at the bottom and quickly spreading upwards. by 5 1/2 weeks in these pictures were taken . at 8 weeks there were almost no leaves on the plant. and the buds just seem pale as well. Please help! old camerra 022.jpg

I had them growing in "Flower power" potting soil. I did not add anything but water. My understanding is that the soil already had everything needed for MJ plants. I bought it at the hydro store.

my mate grows in bio bizz soil with all nutes in it,, and occasionally adds some topmax as a top up, it helps as sometimes the plant can use all its available nutes from the soil before the cycle is finished, check wit the pros wat nutes 2 use nxt time but im sure ya crop will be sweet anyways, at least it wont taste of nutes wat is the flowering time of ya strain? if u have like 3 weeks left u cud prob add some nutes now an flush again at the end, if only 1 week then prob best 2 just leave her go as she is, they look lush an just as they shud at end of floqwering period, but if they are yellow after only 5 weeks then prob sum nutes wanted enjoy ya crop well done

throw it out and start over.....

kidding..... those buds look deliciuos. i would add a couple tablespoons of molassas to a gallon of ditilled water and feed those buds a carbo load, flush after a week and wait to harvest. i dont know what went wrong but it looks like your buds are sucking everything they can out of those leaves way ealier than they should be but they look real good. the molassas will plump them up a little. i use the technoflora line and the last thing you feed them before harvest is Sugar Daddy, i read the ingredients and its just sugar water, same as molassas n water. i use that now instead of SD, works great and way cheaper. Nice nugs man - good jpb.

Thanks bro. yea i think i shoud have added some nutes.

I have heard of the sugar water technique before but never tried it because you dont see it much in major grow books.at least i didnt. But when you describe it, sounds right. Im gonna try it next time. the buds seemed dry ,bland and not too impressive too me i think the sugar will help. So i need to flush this stuff? whats the worst think an overdose of sugar can do to your plants?

Give em a good shot of nitrogen, you've got time.

An over dose of carbohydrates can lock out nitrogen, which i think your plant is already starving for.
