Leaves continue to yellow

Ok so I started adding nitrogen to plants because the leaves were yellowing. I've added nitrogen two feedings in a row and my fan leaves continue to yellow and die off.

Nothing else besides fan leaves, and im beginning to think its not a deficiency but the plant knowing to lose some leaves to create extra sunlight...but maybe im just high.

the same thing is happening to me. they are all starting to flower, and now the fan leaves are starting to yellow. just started watering with tiger bloom. is this normal.

Anyone ???

Completely natural...when plant flowers, it concentrates on flower production instead of leaf, (maybe u should too by using a lil bit of bloom/flower agent)
Organically of course

I am using bloom supplements, im just going to continue to feed as directed and if the leafs fall off, they fall off.

I was told to start pluckin them off to get more light to the buds anyway but if they're doing it for me...

i guess they're not dying after all.

umm ya you shold just switch it some high potassium nutes ..... but in the top right are those morning glories idk but if i had them growing in my yard i would deff. check it out Erowid Morning Glory (Ipomoea violacea) Vault

Well currently im feeding it some very good nutrients from the Fox Farm and Advanced Nutrient line.

To be honest, i dont care the leaves are yellowing off because it makes me think its focusing more on the "flowering" stage of its life, rather then the leaves.


Yes, I have morning glories all over my backyard. Sometimes I pluck them off and put them on my plants for some camoflauge, even though they brown up shortly after

well it not that its forsing it jut getting rid of wasted energy dont need all the energy going to the leaves because bud growth is about to start you kno what i mean??

I can't really tell but it looks like that plant is in a pot and it appears like that plant is WAY TOO big for the pot. My guess is that you can't get enough Nitrogen in that pot to feed a plant that size.


Maybe the picture is just deceiving .... but if not... you may want to put that plant in the ground.... or perhaps a 30 gallon barrel.

Nice looking plant... well done

This is my 82 pound dog sitting next to the plants.

The bucket is BIG, and I doubt thats the problem. The smaller pot of the two is a 12 gallon pot.

I just lifted my bucket and its LIGHT. Needs food and water TONIGHT. Probably should do it right now but I like to wait until dusk.
thanks for the info hopefully thats not the case because I have no where to put it, and its in flowering, and I doubt my bucket size if the problem.

thanks again

That is a much better picture for perspective.... if the pot isn't the problem now... it soon will be as plants double and sometimes triple in size during flowering.

I stand by my post... those plants are trying to grow roots big enough to support the growth... and searching for the food to grow them.

You have BEAUTIFUL plants... but I think they are going to go downhill fast if you don't correct the pot issue. I don't grow outdoors so I could very well be wrong.... let's see what others have to say on the issue of pot size.

Nothing wrong, mine are in 6 gallon buckets so I don't think pot size is an issue. Mine are just startin to flower and some of the leaves are white. Is it a White Widow strain?

LOL.... NO... it has nothing to do with WW strain. I have WW and there is nothing about that strain that produces yellow leaves so early in flowering. Mine is near done and just starting to show the yellow leaves of a plant near harvest.

It's not the plant... it's the grower and the environment
