Hello every one, so I'm working with my first grow. Have 3 nice looking (hopefully) ladies indoors under fluorescent lights, but the lower leaves are starting to yellow.. Took a few pics, tell me what you think.Picture 008.jpgPicture 007.jpgPicture 006.jpgPicture 009.jpg

you're fine, those lower leaves die eventually, the plant is eating up all the nutrients and sugars. when you start to see the leaves above those yellow, it is time to feed

This is terrible advice.

What?:confused: No. Why would it be using its "sugars" when it's not even mature yet? The use of stored energy from the fan leaves occurs during flowering, which this plant is clearly far from.

The problem here is light intensity, plain and simple. (as in, not enough light)

maybe i'm wrong, but sugars are formed by the plant during photosynthesis and are totally essential throughout the plant's life. glucose is the product of photosynthesis, therefore maybe we are both right to some extent?

could it be debatable that if a plant does not get enough light, it will not produce enough sugars?

i don't know what strain it is but it looks like the typical auto stretch, but wtf do i know! ;p

well, for my own education: when are leafs considered fan leafs? are all leafs after the colydons fan, or ones with multiple blades. i've never had a plant keep her single bladed baby leafs for very long

yes! those single leaves always drop off, but if you notice in one of his pics even the actual fan leaves are starting to turn yellow. this will spread to upper leaves as plant grows unless more light is added.. what i would do is top all the plants short again and get a more intence light that will strengthen the main stem and also add more tops.. Oh goody

Thanks for the help and advice. Guess I'll top them, try my hand at cloning and give them some sun light till I get a better light set up. Was hoping the fluorescent lights would have done better...

I use floros like what you have only to start clones and seedlings.
