I've been having a lot of problems with a plant I've had and everything seems to be pointing to nitrogen defiencey, yelowing of bottom leaves slowly moving up the rest of the plant is taking on a lighter green color then a darker green I am starting to be really consonerned because it is starting to happen to my 4 other plants. Thread to pic of plant

Where's the pic?
Not trying to be smart but have you tried feeding it some N based fertiliser?

I'm not a soil grower but definitely start giving it some nutes.
How old are the plants?
Start out at no more than 20% of the recommended dose and work your way up.
See how the plants respond.
i don't know if MG ferts are good but i know 'thrive' is a good N based fert'.
Keep me posted.

Also I forgot to ask what are you growing in?
Also check your PH, Nitrogen can get locked out if your PH is too low.
In soil it should be 6.5 - 7.0

:bigjoint::bigjoint::bigjoint:Hey there guys,
so youre saying you have yellow leaves at the bottom of your plants and the ones at the top are green...well here i was looking up the forum to find my problem..and i pretty much have the same problem as u i think with my growroom.
Here is a picture of my new growroom, its a dripping system(wich i really really really love lol)
I also think its a nitrogen deffiency!!!
Well the only thing is unlike u i use products (6-5-10)the brand is NUTRIPLUS and i also add a product called 02 its concentrated oxygen if u havent guess..its good to give oxygen to youre roots especially using a hydroponique system...But i still am a newbie at this lol
Just trying to make some good stuff to smoke some good shit;)
P.S there are plants that are clones about 2 weeks old(the ones whit arrows) 6 of them and the rest i just got em
All comments on the growroom will be appreciated and aswell for tips;)
Thanks guys and keep Growing!!! haha
If any one wanna try this dripping system go for it really easy to do i set it up all myself got some drippers at my local gardening center..some rubbermaid roughneck containers at canadian tire aswell as a pump!! really simple!!

What you need to do 'jack2' is start a new thread about your set up and possible probs otherwise you'll be accused of hijacking this one.
I know your new but that would be the courteous thing to do.
I will just quickly let you know that you are over watering, those babies are suffering moisture stress bad.
Ease up on the water. Turn your drippers off for certain periods during the day.
That yellowing maybe from lack of N as well but over watering can cause yellowing too, and there drooping bad from too much water .
Edit: AGsteve got in before me, glad to see we agree on the over watering and there to little for nutes unless it's like 100-150ppm.

If your PH is not right the plant cannot absorb the nutes your giving it.
N will get locked out with low PH.
Do you use PH'd water when you water?
What is the PH of your soil?
They look like they've grown quite well, but there obviously a bit yellow.
Big shade leaves that have yellowed will probably not improve but you new growth should start to green up by adding N, providing your PH is under control.
PH should be between 6.5 -7.0.

Filtered water,(drinking water) is always better to use because it's PH won't be to extreme either way. Mainly filtered water is beneficial for it's lower PPM count meaning you can add more nutes to it so your total PPM consists mainly of nutes not additives from the tap water.
I know my tap water has a PH of 7.1 which would probably be fine to use on a soil grow straight out the tap.
I think you can 'steadily' up the ferts by judging how the plant is looking a few days after each watering. Just don't over do it.
Fish Emulsion is a great source of N too but it's potent so be carefull if your using it. I used to use it all the time during the growth stage when I grew in soil and it was excellent.
How tall is that plant and what lights are you using?
Also, what stage of growth are you in?

Are all your other plants that big?
Lets green that bugger up and get it healthy so you can start flowering otherwise you may end up with a very tall plant.
It will double or even triple in size when you turn your lights to 12/12 depending on strain.
You can do some LST on it so don't panic, this will increase your yield too.
Do you know what strain of plant it is?
