Okay so my plant has been a few weeks into flowering already and I've started to notice yellowing leaves in the center and bottom of the plant, they are yellowing from the center of the leaf outward and some of the leaves have a little bit of tip burn, I thought it was a nitrogen deficiency and gave it some fish fertilizer for a couple weeks but that didn't help, I'm not sure what to do at this point because I don't want to feed it something it doesn't need and if I leave it like this any longer the leaves are going to all yellow and the plant is going to die, the grow is in a super soil that I am trying so i dont know if i can add any other fertilizers to it, also its waterd with r/o bottle water to guarantee purity, any help will be appreciated.

That’s a cute plant lol. Looks like older growth is dying off. The newer growth is looking fine.

Lol don't make fun of her man she the only one out of 3 i got to survive this far! It's my first ever grow and 100% organic! Plus i lost a few fan leaves :/ im getting the hang of it but not fully there yet.. It looks like maybe iron or magnesium but idk for sure, i wanted to see if cal-mag plus would help but i don't want to throw things at it.. Maybe someone here will see my poor unfortunate sould and give me some advice LOL!

I mean it’s close to done so I wouldn’t worry with it. Why did you flower it so tiny? Either way it’ll give you a few bowls.

She’s definitely not going to produce more than just a few grams. What sort of lighting are you using?

Yea its gone through alot lol! She started off some high power 100w led light bulbs with the defuser taken off, when it got bigger i took it outside, it had alot more leaves and looked alot more fuller but i had issues with thripes and spider mites eating and destroying them, as i said its my first grow from some reggie bag seed so im pretty excited it even had some buds, i too think it should have been alot bigger for the huge amount of effort im putting in to keep her alive.

There is no such thing as "high power" LED light bulbs. Those are likely 20 watt at most.

Lol no man they are legit bulbs, i forgot what brand but theyre true cree leds.
Just because they're Cree doesn't mean anything. You can buy a three pack of Cree 100 watt bulbs for $24 on Amazon

They actually use 17 watts. 100 watt equivalent isn't the same as 100 watts. If you had that plant under 100 watts of true light it would have much fuller denser bud.

Thank you i never thought about it that way, i really appreciate the advice! Im going to be getting a actuall 400w led grow light that has the correct spectrums.

It's common for people to misinterpret the equivalent vs the actual wattage. Get yourself a good LED and you'll be rocking. Good luck.

check out buddy.kindbot.io
The buddy app suggests Nitrogen deficiency because of the light green lower leaves
Some photos show a little burning on the leaf edges making buddy see signs of potassium deficiency
