3 weeks into flowering widows and im getting yellow leaves mid way

up the plant. i have two of them and only one is really doing this. i just watered them w/ foxfarm bloom. i havent used nutes in the last three waterings. they are in soil and hand watered w distilled water evry 3 days on ave. i check their moisture w a meter and wait til they are bone dry before watering. i let the water flow out the drain holes. any ideas why they are yellowing so much???

Thank you for the help

check this site out. I see more than yellowing going on. You can't rely on nutes in the soil, the plant will use them quicker than you think. It happened to me, I thought I was over feeding them because I had fox farm soil mixed with mir-grow and was told the soil should support them for several weeks but in just 2 weeks they started to yellow...

im not too worried about the dropping, they should come back up. well arent you only suppose to nute every 2 or 3 waterings??

the drooping is more than likely over-watering.

naw that cant be true... if anything underwatering. they get watered around every 3 days. i wait for the soil to be just about dry or all the way dry and then water them until the water runs out the drain holes.

anyone else have any input to help me out

dude,..i nute every watering, every day! No drooping, yellowing or burning. They love it. I keep upping the doses and they never resist.

Do you have a moisture meter? And how far deep into the soil do you feel / place the meter when you test the moisture.

How old are your plants?r

looks like a zinc issue to me. Check out the grow faqs to fix it. There are pictures of plant problems there. You will find your issue and how to remedy it.

noy quite sure exactly how old they are, because i bought clones from a club. they were a week away from flowering when i go them and now im on week three of flowering. i do have a moisture meter and i put it down until it touches the gravel and then pull up ever so slightly so i can make sure its dry down there beofre watering.

Have tested the ph?

when was the last transplant? they may be rootbound

they look dry... feed once a week. i water every 2-3 days, I usually water monday and wednesday and feed saturday....this always changes because these bitches are unpredictable.

last transplant was probablly 5 weeks ago. i was going to transplant them any furthur. i usually water 2 - 3 days. but i like your schedule, makes it easy. do you water until it runs out the drain holes? or just use a moisture meter to see how wet it is down there.

ya,,,,i water with one bottle, wait like 5-6 mins...let it drain and then go back with another one...i go by the weight of the container....im at the end of flowering, i go by the looks of the leaves (droppyness) and the weight of container...also the finger method.

what size bottle ??? so you diffently put a good amount of water in your plants. i agree w the droppyness... that seems like its the way to know she needs water.

i have 20oz bottles....i started with 1 when it was smaller and just increased.....every once in a while i would use a little more when they were soaking up more moisture than before during my flowering

thanks for the tips man. is your avatar a pic of your growings?

here is mine that i grew,,,,cut yesterday
