Dilema; yellowing leaves, starting from the ground up, possible nitrogen deficiency. Day 18 of flower, week 1 was left on veg nutes to stunt verticle growth, not sure if it worked heres to hoping I aint got much room left. Now were about 9 days into bloom nutes feeding, last couple of days yellowing creeping up. Possible residual veg nutes causing issues?

Also moved states before this grow began did not consider the humidity in this tropical climate before I started. this weeks plan is to order a 1.2m x 2.4m tent, upgrading the .8m x .8m. Want to do this before I drop Benjamin's on a dehumidifier that will inevitably go into the new grow space. Over the next couple weeks i may be subject to humidity levels around 60-70% during lights off. Will the bigger space help reduce that till my dehu arrives or make things worse? Is it dangerous in week 3/4 of flower while buds are forming or is it late bloom when big buds are seceptable20200505_201953.jpg20200505_201929.jpg20200505_201925.jpg

I also phd to 5.9 through the whole grow. After reading the chart which came with the nutes I'm running it said optimal was 5.5-5.8 so I dropped the .1 and aim for 5.8. Would this be causing any adverse effect?

Yes a larger tent would have lower RH compared to a smaller space with a couple of plants, if nothing else try to keep an exhaust and fan inside the tent going.
As someone said above it is most likely that the leaves are just not getting much light down there.
Its argued a lot as to how much but in general nitrogen isnt needed in huge doses in flowering, by now many growers (not me) would have cut nitrogen out all together.
They are nice plants and im sure you will get a good smoke.. someone did their homework :clap:

Plants look great...You could have done some pruning underneath. Just to let light penetrate...I don't get why you're trying to lower your Rh. 60% is fine. Just because a lower Rh is optimal doesn't mean they won't be tolerant of higher humidity. I wouldn't waste the money. Finish your grow and then decide if you want one for the future. I think you'll be fine w/o one. A higher humidty of like 60ish is good for curing too. Again, 55% is great but the buds will dry slower and cure slower with more moisture in the air. That's good for terpenes.
So expect a few yellow leaves near the end. Its totally normal. ok?
