Requesting Confirmation of Diagnosis...and Solutions

from my experience (25 years), I'd say.rootbound,way to much chemicals, for small plant(causing yellowing).Browning spots are from excessive moisture, or lack of venting. More fresh air ,less heat,root triming, nitrogen, taken out of intence light for 3 days ,thier should be major improvement

While the roots may be a little tight in the pot, I don't think they are quite rootbound. They're 7" square by at least 10" deep. Probably 1.5-2 gallons. They certainly had no problem getting 25-30" tall...

While the heat has been an issue in the last few days, this started when temps were hovering around 80. And by too much moisture you mean overwatering? Because I'm pretty sure that isn't the problem either.

Fresh air...maybe. My area is 17"w X 30"d by 60"h and has no real "vent" per se. But in order to keep temps down, I have to blast a 12" standing fan in there. It's like a freaking wind tunnel, but it keeps them cool enough. Lots of air circulation.

At this point, I'm not willing to trim anything off the roots. I'm not going to remove them from their pots and stress them MORE as they try to finish out their lives.

Thanks for your input Brianjox, and I'll post some pics as leaves continue to fall off my plant.

Some of my plants. I have removed alot of those nasty leaves.

I see how your plants are sucking out their nitrogen (and looking damn fine!), but they look almost ready to harvest, where mine still have a few weeks. It could just be my strain I guess.

I think I probably started the process by screwing up the pH, and now plant doesn't see the need in turning it back around. As I said, I'll keep up with the pics.

Thanks Lefty!

That is after I have removed alot of dead leaves. The screwy ph is what gives the burnt spots imho to your leaves but the process of them turning yellow was already going to happen. And since the inner foilage looks mad healthy and dark dark green the process is likley due to flowering more than any other action. Fan leaves are early indicators of prblems but if you had a serious issue those inner leaves and bud leaves, the young leaves, would also be showing issues.

You will see if you grow this same strain again.

Good luck and I hope they turn out real dank

Just thought I'd throw up a recent pic. I removed the lower fan leaves...some came off with the slightest tug, some required a little snip.



She doesn't seem much worse for the wear. Still budding away

Looking good. They look like they will swell up nicely.

here is my lil shorty. 4 days ago she was perfectly dark green. She is 12/12 from seed just under a foot tall. Took clones off her already. She will be thick as hell when she is done.

Looks nice man! Do you know the strain?
