Set Up
Lights= 400w MH (20-24 inches from top leaf)
Temp=75-85
Humd=20%
Ph= 6.5-7.0
Food=10-5-15 MaxiGro (been feeding it every 3 days)
Stage=2 months Veggi
Soil= Fax Farm Ocean Floor/rockwool
Seed=Some shitty dank

In my other post i showed that the plant kept on dropping. Now that i feed it more nitrogen he shot right back up and looked happy. This evening i opend my door to find the lower leaves full tips becoming yellow and continuing to spot up ward on the leaf like it was spreding. Can anyone tell me if i need to give it more nitrogen or is it nitrogen burn? Here are some pictures from 10 mins ago.

looks ok just keep your eye on it. may be from before you fed them. and feeding every three days may be a bit much. at most should prob be every other watering, and most do every third.

Is it possible it's an auto-flowering strain? I think that at 2 months it may be getting ready to flower, in which case it's perfectly normal for the leaves to start turning yellow and falling off, starting with the bottom leaves.

Oh sick i hope not hes so small...if a leaf falls off should i change the light to my 400w HPS, change the lights to 12hr/12hr, and give it bloom nuts?

I probably would. I'm still on my first grow though, and mine's not an autoflowering strain so you might want some more expert info. Remember it's going to double or triple in size the first few weeks of flowering.

You can start flowering at any time. Some people start the 12/12 from seed or clone. I also read somewhere about a plant that was kept alive for 15 years before it was flowered. It's just a matter of how long you're willing to wait and how big you want the plant to get. I'd just base it on how much space you have, and how much your light will cover. If you have a 400w hps, for example, it only has about a 3' penetration, so anything on the plant 3' below the light isn't getting what it needs. When growing in soil, the rule of thumb on pots is 1 gal/foot of height, as well, so that's something else to keep in mind.

sounds like something i should think about....i kinda wanted to wait till i had my new bulb next month..right now i have a MH balist and it cost 117$ to grab a HPS 400w bulb that has the same connection

That sounds similar to what I did... I had my plant going, then ordered a 400w hps. By the it arrived, my plant was over a 1' tall, which was taller than I had intended. In the first 3 weeks of flowering, my plant grew to 4', and I ran out of room, had to completely redo my grow area... it was a nightmare I hope you don't have to repeat. :P I was growing in hydro though, and I only veg'd for 4 weeks to get it that size.

Actually, from some of what I've read, people continue on the veg nutes for the first 2 weeks of flower. Some people also do 24-48 hours of darkness before switching to 12/12. I think growing weed isn't an exact science. People have a million different ways that seem to work and they'll all argue that theirs is best. One other thing might look into is LST. You can use that to make it take up a little more space and keep it shorter, buying you time before flowering(though if it's auto-flowering, that might not be an option). Whatever you decide, good luck, and I hope I'm being helpful.

wow this is crazy....so many options...i just googled how to get ready for flowering stage and i got some many diffrent things. one person says leave the lights at 18 hours a day and use bloom nuts for 2 weeks then change the light to 12 hours....then someone says just change the light to 12 hours and use half grow/bloom for 2 weeks then use bloom....then another person says use veggi nuts for the first 2 weeks of 12 hour lights.......IM SO CONFUSED :wall:

Yes, you are CONFUSED! You don't know anything about growing, and you ask for advice, and when someone posts in response you call them an asshole.

You need to grow up before you start growing.

Try again, Son.
