hey guys, I just flushed my plants with fresh water for 24 hours and then Added my nutes and Nitrogen. ppm is at 500. One of my larger plants started yellowing around the rim of the leaves yesterday and today its completely yellow. I am watering 4 times a day and my PH is good. my temps are good also. Is there any other cause other than underwatering and nitrogen def that may cause a plant to turn yellow so quickly?

whoa you're watering 4 times a day and you think your underwatering? i water once every 2-3 days when my girls are in full bloom!

Are your plants vegging or flowering?
How Tall are they?

sounds like you are hyrdro then if watering 4 times a day. That ppm seems pretty low to me. How old are your plants? Maybe if you provide a little more info a hydro grower will step in here and help you out.

Hey guys, thanks for the replies. I am growing Hydro. Ebb&Flow.

Im growing Mandala Seeds Satori (6 weeks old in veg)

they are between 6-10 inches tall (ran into problems that stunted growth at the start of grow, they have since started growing again)

I have 2 10x4 Tables Divided in half with 20 plants in each section (80plants total)

3 1000 watt HPS lights above each 10x4 table all with air cooled reflectors

Im using Flora Nova 1 part and Natures Nectar Organic Nitrogen because of an N deficiency i had early on.

I water 4 times a day during lights on.

Im growing in Hydroton.

Room temp are always 75-78 degrees during lights on, drop to 65-70 during lights off

Under the lights they are sometimes 86-89 ( trying to get more fans to circulate the air better )

Last time i flushed, the same thing happened. plants turned yellow then i supplemented Nitrogen at 1/4 strength and they grew green again. Now even with the Nitrogen some of them are yellowing and i have 2 that are drooping but i lower the watering and also raised it and the drooping plants dont recover. Worst case scenario i will just pull those out and put them under flouro's but i want to fix the problem that is causing that before it effects other plants.

I cant really see them but I just saw a gude here about diagnosing plants and what it said about Iron caught my attention. my plants have green veins but yellow leafy material. How do i supplement Iron?

Sounds like a phosphorus deficiency, its either that or sulphur and ive never heard of that deficiency. Those are the other 2 main ones other then nitrogen
