hey all, wanted to get a second opinion on my plants. i think they;re doing ok but the lower leaves on one of them are turning completely yellow. is this normal for a plant 33 days into flowering for a 60 day flowering indica blend?

all nutes, ph, etc are normal.

.Yes, that looks like normal yellowing of fan leaves during the final stages of a plants life. Your buds look very nice. Good job.

Sweet grow man. And yes that is normal yellowing beacause in the flowering state your plant utilizes phosphorus way more than nitrogen.

i started mollasses two weeks ago. its supposed to help with the taste but has no nutritional value for the plant. the yellow is most likely nitrogen deficiency but i wanted some expert opinions

Nitrogen occurs from the bottom of the plant up. The bottom of yours looks okay.

Could be something else.

mollassess if full of carbohydrates and really helps your plants during the flowering stage. it is also said that it increases the potency of your bud (only by around 2% but its better than nothing).

how do you feed it molasses jus mix with the awter im feedin the plant
i disolve the mollasses in boiling water and add it to my water with nutes. wait for it to cool down to room temp and then feed.

i use 1tbs of mollasses per 1 letre of water.

Dude thats pretty heavy? i found any more than 2 tbs in a 5litre bottle is overkill. In reality the molasses wont alter the taste of the smoke dramatically but will assist in providing readily available carbohydrates for your buds thus saving the plant energy during the night, when it naturally produces sugars.
Nitrogen is the only nutrient which the plant has the ability to move within itself. Eg: shifting energy from un required lower fan leaves to the buds. Remember the plant thinks its dying thats why its prioritising its energy into self-preservation. (seed reproduction). Add some epson salts to help with yellowing especially if using de-min water. Hope this clears things up.

looking good keep up the good work:) and yeah it looks a bit early to have progressed that far to me also but you did say it was a 60 day strain.....and the flowers look good only you would know if it's slowing growth, less it's a first time thing with that strain....just me but I'd hit her with some fish emulsion 5-1-1 not sure what your nute schedual is, but those flowers look good for just a bit over a month old.... my favorite yellows at 30 but it's done in 50
