Mr I Can Do That For Half
From my look I think some of it has to do with the cocofiber.Not a fan of it as it doesnt hold the nutes well and overall I have found doesnt work to well. Second question I would have is you said using co2 boost and said would be venting soon...You do clear the co2 air out a couple times a day and bring in fresh o2 from outside between co2 reinjections correct as you have to still exchange the air occasionally or the plant can get this look.Also at 2-4 weeks flower I would have kept flowering with nutes then gave a 3-5 day flush with the coco as its not gonna hold to many nutes to long and can be flushed quickly.Yellowing dropping fans does happen at flowering end but seems a little excessive in the pictures.You ph testing the water and run off water from the pot?
i think you have something there, and maybe if i treated my nute diet more like a hydro set up instead of soil, they wouldn't be deficient now. come to think of it, now it makes sense why i was able to feed them full strength amounts (by the bottle specs) with every watering, because the strength of fox farm grow big and big bloom and recommended doses are probably based on soil, figuring it would have some nutes in it.
i do like the texture of the cocofiber, though, because it is still nice and loamy, and drains very well, but retains just the right amount of moisture. i'm sure the roots like the feel of the coco...
on my next grow i'm gonna be venting the light to better control heat, especially with adding a good bit more light, but i hadn't thought about venting from the outside... trying to make things more sophisticated one little step at a time. i do go in the room once or twice a day, so when i open the door, it must exchange a little bit...
i'm gonna put them back on nutes with the next watering, probably tomorrow, or the next day... i don't know if it'll help any of the yellow leaves become more green or not... hopefully a little, but i'm guessing they're gonna be toast (nothing is crispy, though, the yellow leaves are still supple)
that is one thing i have not been doing anything with, other than testing the tap water every couple of weeks to make sure the city isn't dumping any extra chlorine in there out of the blue. tried letting the water sit early in the grow, but as it evaporates, the ph goes crazy, and the ph is fine right out of the tap, so i've been just giving water straight from there... besides, it gets nice and aerated with the spray hose from the kitchen sink. i will try to check the ph of the runoff and see what happens there with my next watering.
thanks for helpin fletch!

OK dude you are goiung to want to cut off some of the Fan leaves off not at the base of the stem conncting the leafe to the real stem of the baby girl .. Only cut off the most yellow and you should be fine... Dont add any more nuts... dont cut them all off start from the bottom and work your way up. and only the most yellow.. if its yello greenish and more green than yellow leave it. Hope that helps PATNA! (the red part dude cut at the red part. )

If your using coco fiber you should cut it with 25% earth worm castings. This will provide the mixture with ample soil nutrients. Thats what I do and boy does it every produce. Also what kind of water are you using, tap, filtered? If your using tap water let it stand in open air for 48 hours to let the chlorine dissipate. Also add a cap full of hydrogen peroxide to it to kill any bacteria while its sitting out. If you use filtered water like I do you need to add cal-mag. My water runs through a particle filtrate, then activated carbon, then reverse osmosis, then UV light so it has literally nothing in it. Thats just pure H20. So I add cal-mag with iron to it every watering and then feed it nutrients once a week. I use flora nova grow-bloom-, floraliscious plus, diamond nectar, tricarbolic acids for plant energy, compost tea with molasses, and carb boom in flowering stage.
If your leaves are falling off earlier than you'd think they should it may have a cal-mag deficiency or maybe even a container size issue as I once had. But I always experience the leaves shriveling and turning yellow then falling off with a few weeks left. It's natural. But as I mentioned if this happens at week 4 of 12-12 then you have a cal-mag issue.
Smoke it if you got it and boy do I got it!

Get yourself a 400 watt HPS light for flowering...ur plants will thank you kindly

nice choice of words... LOL

i usually "mix" unless I am cutting...
thanks for your advice in this and the last post! i'm going to use a 600 watt hps for flowering next time. i'll probably augment that with some sort of uvb during the last couple weeks before harvest.
i'm doing a new grow now, still in coco, but with the biobizz complete nutrient line... i'm sort of getting my sea legs with the whole pH-ppm thing, and i think if i can turn my new seedlings around so i can turn them into moms, i should have a nice crop of somango and white widow to smoke in about 4 months from now

the bud ended up being very good, not a one hit knock out, but it's a long, up high, with no sedative effect at all, which is pretty much the opposite of the original bags the seeds came from- total couch lock, so while i'm sure my yield was hurt by the problems with deficiencies in my plants (got 1.75 oz... not counting about 1/2 oz in pre-harvest samples), i like the kind of high they provide... and shit, this was my first grow attempt, ever! and i got more weed than i've ever had in my possession at once lol
