First grow was going great, until now. Help would be appreciated.

Hey guys, im having an issue with my first grow where the bottle leaves and some mid leaves are starting to turn yellow! They are three silver bullet auto plants, in organic pro-mix soil. I have been feeding them Dr.Earth home-grown organic ferts every two weeks. They have been fine, up until now, this started happening two days ago and its spreading fast. The plant it is the worst on has always looked kind of a lighter shade of green than the rest of the plants. They are a few weeks into flowering so I know they arent already dropping leaves as they would during late flower. The pictures are kinda blurry but you can see the issue and see the bud size for age referance. Also, what kind of yields do you estimate, if you wish to take a guess? The website said they ranged from 75g-150g outdoors but it doesnt look like it. Thanks for looking guys, any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Bottom pic looks like a magnesium deficiency, mottled interveinal coloring. Without magnesium, your plant will steal it from the the older leaves and transport it to newer growth (a mobile nutrient). The older leaves cannot photosynthesize light without the magnesium so they go yellow. People often see the yellowing and think they need to add more nitrogen, but it does no good if magnesium is not there.

Your organic nutes likely do not include magnesium (you can check). If you did not amend your soil with some dolomite lime then the way to proceed is to do magnesium foliar feeds. Mix up 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of epsom salts to 1 gallon of water and spray once a week. Don't know about your yield, outdoor yields can be huge if you start them early. But you started them late so your yeild will be light. Good luck!

Alright man sounds good, I will pick some up today. My helper tried telling me it was natural so I waited and its much worse today so im gonna run to the store.

Or pick up a bottle of cal/mag... add 1 tsp per gallon of water EVERY time you water/feed.

good catch... definitely could be put in bigger pots/fabric pots.

Listen to whitebb2727... he chimed in on my grow a while back.. was spot on... your "girls" need more soil... typically autos are started in the pot they are supposed to finish in to avoid transplant shock. It looks like you're out of room... gently pot up to a 5 or 7 gal pot and go from there...

Like I said it's not advised to transplant autos... but that pot you are in is WAY too small. I think the advantages of transplanting outweigh disadvantages.

Alright guys thanks for all of the help. Since im new to this, I really dont want to transplant them and fuck them up. The bud have developed alot since I poseted this and I dont want to jeopardize that. Instead of transplanting, could I cout out the bottom of the pot and stick the pots in the ground?
