These is a Road runner . Entering her 2nd week of flower. This yellowing started pretty much when she entered flower. Her sister is right behind her beginning to show same signs. Fed her 2 days ago in case it was deficiencies. Ph runoff was 6.3. Her leaves perked right up but still not going back to green. What do I do? Growing in tropic batmix using biobizz nutes with ecothrive charge. Help pls guys.
1st time grower stressed! Yellowing marks all over the plant. For about 4 days now.

So once leaves turn yellow, unless it’s from a nute deficiency they’re unlikely to turn back green if they haven’t yet after feeding. I wouldn’t freak out too much pal. You’ve gotta think that your plant just put a bunch of energy into starting to flower, not only that but if she got stressed out it’s an easy way to show that she’s not happy. Keep an eye on new growth and make sure it’s green. If ph is good, lights are good, rh and temp. Not much else to do but let her do her thing. Hope more people reply for ya bud, ✌
Thanks man. Hope it really is nothing to worry about.

Measure the EC run-off. It’s probably very high as you have used charge and batmix, plus
fed them on top of that.
Too much feed can yellow a plant. Your ph is good so it’s not that. Raise the humidity into the 60’s for quicker recovery, just from the picture I can tell it will be low. Low humidity will also cause yellowing, especially with a high salt content in the medium. Get filter up high and slow the extractor, or even turn it pretty much off to funk up the vibe in there. You will have no worries with mould, they are early stages and if the temp is a problem then dim the light down if it has that function. You might need to flush, use an enzyme additive as you are organic. It helps break down the nutrients.
fed them on top of that.

It’s an understatement if I told you not to worry haha. We all know half of growing these girls is worrying lol good luck bud I’ll keep an eye on the post. I’m beginner too i just Tend do a lot of research!
Yea one can never do too much research. Just a dad like you trying to grow good girls. Definitely flushing first thing tomorrow morning. Thanks again Senpai.
Thanks man! ill update in a few days after i flush tomorrow. Hopefully good news.

It picked up when you fed her, interesting observation I'd stick with that, might save the second one too.

Check the run-off with an ec truncheon first before flushing and use it to achieve the desired run-off if needed. I am quite certain that’s the problem, they are only small and stunted. No way is it a lack of nutrients with the strong soil used, which is also amended with charge. Don’t let the pots sit in water and I can’t stress enough the importance of higher humidity. Spray up the walls if necessary, the extra humidity will green them up quickly with days. Dry arid conditions cause plants to look deficient and yellow.

Why are you checking runoff?
Is this a Hydro grow?

You check the reservoirs in hydro depending on set-up, but in soil you check the run-off. Water from the top, collect the water from underneath the pot (called the run-off) into a jug and test. This will indicate whether salt content is high or low. It won’t determine the levels of specific nutrients but that’s why you should flush with a weak solution in order to achieve balance.

no it'S not hydro but checking runoff the same as in hydro will help gauging if there is too much nutrients in your soil. People tend to treat soil like hydro here and the results are often nute burn. Soil is very hard too flush with it's high nutrient retention capabilities so it'S not recommended to proceed so
got the blue labs ec pen. ill use that and see what the deal is.

If you aren't growing in a Hydro set up, checking runoff is pointless.
Checking runoff is for soil-less and coco.
For soil and peat grows you buffer what goes in and the run off doesn't matter.

Are you using organic biobizz fertiliser? Brown smelly stuff or synthetics, the clear solutions. Why I ask is because it would be a strong mix for organics as it doesn’t show much (read) on the ec truncheon, whereas for synthetics a 1.6
is all good.
is all good.
