bottom to mid leaves turning pale green/yellow with under 3 weeks to go.

[dodgydan]

My cheese plants are starting to look a pale green yellow colour with the bottom leaves were there isnt much light dying off but sure this is normal in a SOG grow were ther isnt a great deal of light below the canopy. Its the mid leaves im concerned about as they are turning pale green and yellowish. I started using bloombastic 5 days ago and think this may have something to do with it because this shit is concentrated. Im using the correct dosage an my buds have swelled up massively in 5 days but the leaves dont look like they did. It may be a nitrogen or magnesium deficiency or maybe this is how cheese plants begin to look towards the end of the flowering stage? Iv been tol cheese leaves become all different shades anyway? Any input would be nice especially off those of you with experience growing cheese in the uk?

Sounds like Nitrogen deficiency mate. I always give a very low dose N in flower to keep em green

Plant is nearing the end of life it is using up the nitrogen in the leaves as they are no longer necessary....add nute's and it will smoke like a road flare! This is the time to flush and remove all the built up nutes in the plant so it smokes smooth! This is normal in many strains....It's all about the bud my brother! Your plant will not photosynthisize it is in "finish" Wishing you the best! Enjoy your fruit's my friend! jack

I stil wanna keep these on the bloombastic for another week to get the most out the buds. Will flush after that so if i add some nitrogen to the plants thel b ok for the final weeks wont they?

your not getting what sandal just said you could give all those plants all the nitrogen you want and if they are turning yellow there not gonna turn back to green its part of the plants life cycle when it is nearing the end of its flowering cycle it sucks all the nutrients out of the leaves causing them to turn yellow and die which is good. Just leave them alone keep doing what your doing. I cant really say tho because you showed no picture. I have a few Nirvana Ice clones that are completly yellow and purple you gotta let them go man until there done and the less noots the last few weeks the better

Are you giving it a flush every 6-7 feeds? to remove salts which by this time will have built up in the soil and can stop uptake of nutes including N.

No i havnt flushed my plants but they all seemed to b growing at a good rate and even in the flowering stage the buds grew and have fattened up nicely so didnt think to flush them. Id of only flushed if i thought they had nute burn. Herd flushing can promote mold on plants so only want to do the one final flush really. The information about the leaves turning yellow because the plant is taking what it can now from them as its the end of the cycle is reasuring so thank you. Stil have just under 3 weeks to hit 8 an a half to 9 week in flower so gunna give them another week on the bloombastic then flush fuck outta them. Thanks for puttin me straight on a few things guys. Dont like puttin pictures up because im well known for my sins haha dont wanna take that chance.
