No, you're not burning them. You would see them curl up, like mine are right now, because I outgrew my vertical space...

You are definitely not giving enough nutes. But don't just go crazy, and just start pouring it on by the gallon. Go to the manufacturers website and look up their feedcharts. Make sure you are where you should be. If it looks like you're adding the right amount, post what nutes you're using, and we'll figure out what's going on.

I water them each about a gallon every 5 to 7 days with half dose per gallon of tiger bloom. Should I use more ? I use it every other watering

But moving your light closer won't have any effect on the existing problem, so sorry about that later.

Is that all you're using? If so, you need to shelf that, and get the correct nutes. That's just a bloom booster, and is lacking most of the nutrients you actually need.

You have nutrients for vegging, and nutrients for flower. You should use something like GH Floro series..

I should have mentioned that I have the other two nutes also. Big bloom and grow big

My mistake, I was thinking Big Bloom was a supplement. You need to look on the container to see how much you should be adding. Its generally a good idea to start at half strength, until you know how your nutes effect your plants, but definitely work up from there. Give 5hem a full dose, but don't go overboard, because you can burn them.

So after a good watering and nute session, my PH is 5.9 it was 6.9 and also I can see some life coming back to the plants. Leaves turning a better green after 30 mins

wow i think you hold the record for palest looking plants.never seen anything that light of green before.
glad you got it sorted.

They’re hungry ... she pulled n from herself.

Starving plant.

BlackTriangle1551 · Sep 7, 2019

So does anyone on here want to say there is a correlation to pale leaves and high ph? Through more reading I've seen that I stopped giving grow big cold Turkey and my soil also jumped in PH. I could have mistaken ph of water when I fed plants. Thank you to all. I'm doing this for the learning and experience. I love marijuana

You are feeding half strength, every other watering. The plant is starving. I personally feed full strength every feed. So you need to move more towards that. The plant is massively nitrogen deficient and won't yield well. This should have been addressed a long time ago. Feed your plant. pH 6.5

Renfro · Sep 7, 2019

Unfortunately you are already in flower and a flower feed will be lower in nitrogen. You may want to give it at least one feed with a veg feed to get it some nitrogen.

What you should take away from this is, if your leaves are light, and your pH is in range, then your plant is telling you to up your nutes. If you start seeing burning around the edges of the leaves, back off the nutes a bit. Follow what you plant tells you over charts, but use the charts as a reference point. I would say with FoxFarms, or GH, you can go by their charts, not half strength.

Your pH is fine. Soil acts as a buffer, so pH levels are a little more forgiving. However, if the pH is too out of range, you can see signs of deficiencies as the plant won't be able to transport certain nutrients. PH needs to be in range for the plant to be able to transport those nutes throughout itself.

NP and K is usable at ph of 7 N And K will even go higher then 7. Ca and Mg are also available at 7 plus. So unless your ph was at 8. Then no high ph didn’t cause the pale green.

Up your Big Bloom at a minimum, IMO. It's organic, so it's not gonna jack you up.
Tiger Bloom stay at half dose. I go light outside with that stuff.

Thank you for telling me I've been like Sherlock Holmes lately hahah

I gave a full dose yesterday, the plants haven't recovered 100% but my buds are shooting out new leaves this morning. For a whole week my buds seemed to stop. It was going so good and they were lush for being vegged only a month. Low and behold, I #$@%#$ it up a little. Should the plant be bigger at week 5??

You won't see real results for a couple days, in soil. Also, damaged leaves won't repair themselves, so look at new growth to determine if there an issue.

Honestly they darkened in green. Almost night and day color difference. This pic was with a better camera than mine. The new growth is all healthy green instead of lime green.
