HeyDave'
Introduce myself, I'm Windlizard, I used schultz 10-15-10 on my last grow and at recommended levels I had no burn probs. I just put 20 new babies in yester AM, veggin and hopin for a good % of females, so I'm sort of listening in for nute tips, posted pics of my new box and of my last grow yesterday. Good luck to us both from the NE USA.

Some lower fan leaves but by then I thought good riddance, I woulda taken em out myself. I've got the Fox Farms trio on order, big thumbs up from the guys on grasscity.com. We got 9 popped thru out of 20 in the first 24, no nutes yet, abit early.

7-4-10 -Flora Nova Grow - Used as a Folair Spray during Flowering.
2-45-28 - Kool Bloom- I use this the 3 or so weeks of flowering.
0-17-38 - Dr Hornby Big Bud- I use this for 3 weeks or so

Just give it a litlte hit of nitrogen.


If they're just starting to yellow, and you're already at 4 weeks, you could be fine w/ no extra nitrogen and keep the feeding schedule as you planned.

Ive noticed a lot of plants that start to yellow, get huge full buds compared to the ones that stay dark green through out flower.,..,., but that could be me trippin

Nope don't switch.
Mix up a 50% strength nutrient solution of your Grow nutrients.
spray that on the bottom of your leafs when your babys wake up in the morning
at night when the lights go off, spray them with just water to wash off the grow nutrients. you can do this every day, in a couple of days you'll see those
Yellow leafs turning green with chloraphyl. You can have the best of both worlds.
your nutrients that the root is up taking is for flowering. By Floair feeding you supply nitrogen right to leaf where is uses it, and your buds gets the flowering nutrients.

Yah heres a Link:https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/8821-foliage-feeding.html#post79951
You can google "Folair Feeding" and find a shit load more links on it.

just a light spray is all you need.
You can use what ever you want as a nutrient.
I'm just suggesting your grow nutrient, because you said your leaves were
yellow. Your just giving your plant a little supplement to help.

I concur, but just a LITTLE hit if you think it's needed. Most ppl leave it alone at that point. As long as it's just a few bottom fan leaves yellowing and dying off.
