here's a progression from flower day 3 to flower day 15. The yellow part is where the buds form.

Nice one for the quick replys. Im not sure if its cause of the light in your photos bt i cant seem the see the same yellowing mine have but ill take your word for it. Where can i buy epsom salts? Just in the local chemist?oh damn, quick response there. I'd thought I would add some pics to back up my opinion.
Couldn't agree more. Che stated that he was worried about it so I'm trying to demonstrate it is completely normal.MARED JUWAN
are you talking about the yellowing in the new leaves. if so that is totally normal...they are infant leaves and their chlorophyll is not as advanced as mature leaves. you can look at any plant usually the baby leaves are lighter than the mature leaves, young leaflets this color are healthy and will produce big mature fan leaves..........nothing to worry about.
I've seen people recommend all sorts of ways to switch over to flower nutes. Some say to keep giving grow nutes for two weeks or you will get nitrogen deficiency. This had me worried but a trusted adviser in my journal told me to switch straight from 100% Grow nutes to 100% Bloom nutes as soon as I went to 12/12. I did and everything went perfectly. This sudden drop in nitrogen is actually supposed to help trigger the flowering process. I suggest you just switch completely over to the Bloom formula now. I really try to study my plants and base my dosage on what I see. Dry, yellowish leaves = feed with more nutes. Shiny, dark green leaves with bright yellow tips = feed with less nutes. I don't know what method you're using to measure your nutes but I would say that during flower so far I have ranged from ~600ppm(7mL/gallon) to ~850 ppm(10mL/gallon). I put the "~" symbol because these numbers are affected by my tap water ppm of 120. Hope that helps.The question is aimed at Mared Juwan as u have the same nutes but anyone is free to comment.
Firstly should my babies be gettin a small amount of grow for the first two weeks of 12/12 with the bloom or should it be just bloom. I gave them a small amount of bloom in the last week of veg with the grow nutes. Also what sort of amounts are you putting in?
I know I have the coco coir nutes even though im using soil so i think i may use my nutes at 3/4 strenght of what ppl are using for coco coir
If you want to stay on the cautious side, which is what I would recommend, 2mL/L is the highest you want to go for sure. I have really big (6 ft tall) plants that can withstand higher doses. The recommended label strength for that Monkey Juice Bloom formula is 1.75 mL/L. It is even stronger than the Grow formula. I would just stick to that. There's not much of a science to it. Keep your eyes on the leaf tips. If they go bright yellow or white hot you have overdone it. Look at my pic below, not the bud but the tips of the leaves. See how they're bright yellow? I need to back my dosage down. Easy.Well today i took some of the larger fan leaves from the bottom to give a lollipop effect. i only took the leaves that were been shaded and hopefully this will focus more energy towards the surface. The soil was quite dry today so i game them a a small amount of fresh water and 2ml/2litres of bloom nutes. To be honest I havent much of a head for science so watching for deficiency of nitrogen and pk and ppm is all hard for me to get my head around. I figure 2ml per 2litre of fresh water isnt too much of a feed. Dont want another dose of nute burn
