So would you say just use my veg nutes with fresh water, or, use the veg nutes with my flowering nutes in my water aswell? Anything I can do to ensure maximum bud growth with what I have, I will do.
Thanks for the input though!

i wouldnt LISTEN TO HIM... LOL ^, YOU DONT NEED VEG NUTES 6 WEEKS INTO FLOWERING some yellowing of the leaves is normal, it is indeed fall right?? let that go if the leaves dont come oof with a small tug then the plant still wants it

you are a couple weeks out stil, so maybe a LIGHT part of VEG nutes to get ya thru, if it were mine tho id chock it up to the plant is finishing its life and not try to feed it more, remember less is more itll urvive of plain ol water n dirt remember?

Thats kinda what I was "chocking" it up to be haha. It doesnt seem to have any over all effect on the growth of my plants, just looks like shit haha. So light veg nutes with no flower nutes?

id say maybe 1/4 strength veg, and full strength flower so long as you have been giving full strength flower nute to begin with

Look dude, if you are going to give it anything, give it a tiny dose of nitrogen, that is what is lacking in flowering nutes. but honestly... when flowering, your plants don't NEED nitrogen, yes they are deficient, but you want to focus on flowering not veg growth.

Hahaha...everyone has there own theories, but yes, of all things I was leaning towards nitrogen def. Do they have water soluble nitrogen I can add in when I feed? Thanks for all your guys advice, helps me determine what I already thought but wasnt positive of!

Mixing even the smallest amount of vegetative fertilizer in with the same power flowering fertilizer CAN cause an overdose on either P-K, causing a lockout. be careful.

@ assasin, that is a good find, its just plain nitrogen? not any micro nutrients? i agree 0 about there being a lacking of nigrogen and was semi-assuming that he knew that, lol

@805 i would foliar a light veg nute (high N) if it was me and keep watering as normal with flowering feed, also when/if you foliar feed, remember, you dont want the plants dripping wet you want a slight dew on them like our 805 foggy mornings =) just remember that

A good and slightly cheaper option to the Organicare 6-0-0 I've used for my last 2 grows is Miracle Gro Organic Choice 8-0-0. Found it at Walmart for around $8 and is Sugar Beet Molasses based. I've never found myself using my flower nutes at full strength and have dealt with N def during flower. I found around 1/4-1/2 tsp along with my regular fertilizing schedule. But other than a leaf or 2 gradually turning yellow is very natural and expected. Also don't forget about Cal/Mag nutes cuz your lady will suck out every bit of it that was already in the soil.

All in all I say she looks healthy enough to not sweat over. Keep it up yo!

So....
I pretty much just decided that the Nitrogen deficiancy wasnt enough to go out and buy and a whole new feed when harvest is just about a week away. I got a veteran grower friend that came into town from Eureka this week. Said not to worry about it, its the time in the "season" when plants typically lose leaves anyways. Only thing that I changed when I fed, was giving them the normal dose of flower nutes + a half dose of veg nutes. From here on out I'm going with straight water to flush these pretty ladies out. I think a lot of the discoloration also has to do with this being a purple, as when it started to turn, was when my nitro def. started. Wondering if any one else growing any type of these strains have had the same problem?

lookin good bro im diggin that flowering box .shit is sexxy
Thanks bro...
I got pretty lucky with what I found. Wish it was a little deeper but oh well. On my next grow I think I'm actually getting some Og clones, and will probably do six girls and top them early to do a SOG set up. I'm finding that the one girl I topped has filled out extremely more underneath then the others, and the main buds are just as big as the others. I also plan on vegging out a little longer as well as these babies didn't stretch nearly as much as I predicted. Everything is looking groovy and should harvest some time in the beginning of next week. Brought the scope out and the triches are looking good, still a bit clear not quite milky yet. Getting pumped!
