Hey guys i hope that you can help me on this one... Ive been flower for about 3 weeks now, ive been having this issue with my leaves... This is my 3rd grow started with 4 plants and ended up with one strong female plant (the others were males). They all seemed to have had the same yellowing color of the leaves problem though. I thought that they needed some nitrogen, but it seemed to make things worse.. So i flushed when the leaves started to crumble up yellow and dead dry within like one day. Flushed with about 3 times the amount of water that i normally give her. Did that twice. Still have my leaves falling off and turning yellow... just slower, so i know shes still suffering.. please help! Here are the pics of about 6 days apart. She stands at 2.8ft:)!

nutrients get locked out when your ph is either to high or to low that could be your problem. have you checked it ? that plant looks like its stretching for that light. why do wou have it all tied up?

So i think its def nute burn... I watered it yesterday with just water, and the plant seemed to get worse. So i know that the nutes were fed when i made the soil wet again. Do you guys agree? Im in the process of flushing again, let me just go over it really fast, so i know that im doing it right. I flush with about 2.5 times the amout that i normally give her, and i do this twice. (thats one flush) Is that enough? Bc im going by what i normally water her, which can be too little to start out with, then in that case im not flushing with enough water, see what im saying? So let me know what you guys do to flush.
 
whats the temp?? 150 HPS is a little weak....for that little grow you need a 400 watt M/H then switch to 400 watt HPS in flowering.

Lol you obviously havent seen the results of a 150 HPS grow, get to me ill show you whats up. And you dont need 400 watt for one plant... And giving you my temp wouldnt help you diagnose my problem....

if u watered it with just water and it got worst thats telling u something...FEED ME give her some nutes and stop flushing it..how often do u feed her nutes and what kind and what the strength?

PH, PH, PH. It is practically useless to try to diagnose a MJ plant problem without knowing the PH. It all starts there. You have not mentioned anything about your PH. Can you measure it?

Looks like just a lack of light. Some plants need more than others to convert the nutrients they're gettin.

yeah im sure it is a ph issue, if you flushed it and it got worse thats not a nute problem. it does look like it needs more light too

Looks like a classic case of lack of disolved oxygen,
in other words overwatering.
Let the soil dry out a little between watering,
feel the weight of the pot to tell.:hump:

Thanks for all the advice guys! I really do appreciate it, although i still have my leaves falling off... I also think it could be a PH issue because i havent checked it, i will have to get a meter... But i flushed about three times, the last time i def made sure i put enough water though the soil.

Pretty sure its not too much water or the lack of oxygen... Its been flushed and dried out twice before... so with that said i also think its a ph issue... If its not the nutrients...

Light.... I wish i could give her more light, but i wanted to keep this one on 150 HPS all the way. Ive done some very successful grows with just my one light and with more than one plant... So this time i ended up with just one plant, so i thought it would be fine with the ammout of light it was getting... but maybe not as you guys have said more than once in my form... Shes pretty tall about 3 ft now, and i dont really want to buy anymore light.. Do you guys think that thats the main problem or my ph?

Thank you guys once again, im still trying to get her on the right track, i made new pics of her so ill post thoses asap!!

Heres a good inexpensive Digital PH meter > http://cgi.ebay.com/Digital-Milwaukee-pH600-pH-Tester-Meter-Pocket-Pen-600_W0QQitemZ380124537302QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item58813021d6&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50
I did not research that particular seller.....just showing you the item.
Its easy as hell to use. Once you know your PH you will know if the plants are actully using the nutrients you are giving them. It makes the whole process much easier.
I've been sharing this > http://www.ncw.wsu.edu/treefruit/soil/lime.htm It really helped me understand what is going on in the soil with PH and why its good to use lime to keep PH in check. Happy growing!
