Can't figure out yellowing. New grower. Trying to not mess up beyond repair.

Hello People. I have been flowering since 9/28. I tried to diagnose myself with no sucess. This is my first grow, so any advice helps. I flushed yesterday with just pHed water. Thanks in advance.

To give a reasonable answer nutes, medium, and such is needed. If I had to guess, cal/mag or N then again just natural maturing. With more info the real pro's can help you out.

hi no magic answer but wanted to say other then the yellowing they look very impressive for your first run, and also for only the 3rd week or so of flowering?? saying which did you cary on giving veg nutes for the first week or so for the transition, as some people like to do that to give a last shot of n
 
Pro mix medium, GH Nutes, Micro, Grow, CalMag, Bloom, Liquid Kool Bloom, Floralicious Plus. Not running at full strength, only about 3/4. Water PPM from tap/well was between 300 and 400 so I'm using the Hard Water Micro. I'm pHing to 6.5. I'm thinking of going RO water, just a bit more expensive.

apart from the fading light green and yellow leaves the texture of the leaves look nice no spots or blemishes or that horrible dehydrated look
the plant could recover quickly imo

looks like they need feeding and have possibly been kept too wet/ watered too often

good luck

Looks underfed to me, they appear to need more Nitrogen, I'm not seeing the red I would expect in the veins from a Cal/Mag def. Since there is no burn on the plants at all, I must say good job on that, I would assume they are underfed.

Let us know what you are feeding them, how much, how often, what kind of water you're using tap/ro/distillied/spring/well/lake/mudpuddle. Once more info is given a better guess can be made as to what the plant needs.

edit: seen you already provided the info, I would assume underfed, up your feeding a slight amount and watch them over the next few days.

Thanks for the kind words, just following the advice from RIU and reading a bit from Jorge Cervantes Grow Bible. Yeah I backed off on the Grow a bit early I believe.

I noobed out and have them in too small containers for thier size so I'm working on the feeding schedual that works best. I'm going to give them a dose tonight and let them go a day or two and check the soil.

i would pick off a fair few of the yellow leaves
fading leaves that are mostly yellow i would keep some of them to monitor how quickly the yellow ones try to green up
the leaves that are very yellow are lost they will not green up in time
but the rest of it looks nice and should respond quickly to some nutes

Going to take the recommendations of yourself and a few other kind, helpful folks. I will be posting updates.

Definately over-fed a bit but happy with the results so far. Thanks again to all that responded. Should be Chopping on the 15th.

Way to much P!
No amount of N will fix this as it's NOT the problem!
NOT underfed!

The early use of high P bloom feed!
Could be the use of high P supplements to early/much.

That was exactly the case. Being my first grow, I'm gonna chalk this up to foolishness and not enough knowledge to use said feed. I'm just thankfull I have some plants left after nuking them. I will NOT be using the high P food at all next until I get a better feel for plants in general. Good to hear my thoughts were correct.
