Well this is Kerala X Skunk#1 Regular.
LST 010.jpg
Why are they starting to turn yellow?
Seems like they are turning quickly also as the days go by.
We are into day three of this as it's showing like this now.
She is into her 10th day into flowering.
I feed her 2 liters of water when ever she drys up
or very close to it. On her 2nd feeding day I'll give her
30ml of nutes in the 2 liter bottle.

I flushed when I changed over into bloom. (I think)
I am feeding her for a third time now with 45ml this time into 2L water bottle.
15 drops of Vite B1 (Thrive)
1 Table spoon of epsom salt.
Ph @ 6.5
Dutch Nutrient Formula Bloom A&B
1000Watt HPS 11/13


I hope I'm not doing something to obvious.

Cal/Mag Diff?

Any help and advice is greatly appreciated.

Sounds like too many nutes.
Plants can go into a bit of shock for the first week or so of 12-12.
I'm assuming this is just the bottom leaves?

I guess, It's the big fan leaves. I'm A bit new here.
The tips are curling up and browning.
Its very strange.

I did a complete flush with tap water, ph7.0
then flushed again with ph6.5 water.
Let it sit for 4 days then fed it 2 liters of water
with quarter strength nutes and now she is doing fine
many days later. I am how ever having large fan leaves fall off slowly still
so I have been adding a pinch of cal/mag to the water and still doing fine.
I read some where that in their 3rd week of flowering the plants can start
to go into (N) deficiency which causes the lower large fan leaves to go limp,
turn all yellow. if I do boost it with cal/mag will that have any adverse effects on the buds?
Curious.
So now I'm set back almost 2 weeks. No problem though.

not enough info about your water and medium, you should probably be careful about adding too much cal-mag tho. esp if your soil mix and water already have both. lower fan leaves yellowing is usually N def afaik.

As an ex-English instructor I can respect people who have little spoken or written English skill.
If you can't convey your thoughts properly in English, I'll try to take my time to figure out what you are trying to tell me.

Or you can just go to Google translate and make the situation more simplified?

Any way, looks like you got your seedling in some ground beef to me... lol (no disrespect intended)

Hey man let me just drop some knowledge..... If those leaves are on the bottom of the plant its completely normal, as your plant gets older it will almost start to shed its bottom leaves in a way concidering they have an absense of light usually and the plant wants to focus on the upper part of the plant especially in our case where its flowering

I know everyone says compost works well "which it does" but without the proper drainage like perlite mixed in your plant will drown itself with the smallest amount of water, also I would recomend putting holes in the bottom of that cup so water can drain out

I agree about the calmag...and didn't you say you had added Epsom salts too? Never use both since you can get too much Magnesium. The initial yellowing was probably just because the plant was stretching and you had switched to a bloom nute which may not have had enough N as 1itsme said. Many people use grow nutes for the initial two weeks of bloom to compensate for "the stretch"

Ease up a bit and just watch for awhile...
