All 3 of my plants were doing fine until like a week and a half ago. They are all budding, one is nearly done (2more weeks) and the other two have a lot left to go. I'm guessing its over fertilized? But I really havent been fertilizing it too much. I think what may have happend is that I didn't mix the fertilizer with the water, rather I watered the plants and then poured the little bit of fert after i watered, and watered a bit more. But im guessing maybe the fertilizer wasn't diluted enough so its causing a nute burn????

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a bunch!! (PS could someone tell me how to get my photos rightside up?)

I don't think pouring the ferts directly on the soil is a good idea, they look ok though. Some fan leaves will die off during flowering, it's normal for the plant. There should be a rotate photo button when you view your pictures, just click it and save.

Smerfo you have a nute problem ;)

1. Get 1 to 3 times the volume of your bucket in clear water
2. PH it to 6.5-6.8 (I like high PH for overnute flush)
3. Elevate your plants and run the water though, washing out all of your nutes
4. Leave the plants elevated and let the root ball dry out
5. After drying continue feeding and watering ... differently than you are

Your plant will live on stored nutes for the next week while the root ball dries, the plant will use up the nutes that are burning the leaves. Don't worry about the leaves, there's nothing you can do for or about them. Give the roots a chance to heal and the rest of the plant will heal.

Feed the root ball, not the plant. Don't water a little at a time, let the root ball dry up then soak it with water and nutes ph'd to 6.3-6.5.

yeah the yellow is because its using the energy in the leaves as it no longer requires nitrogen.
I take them off when they are at 50%. Take the dead ones out because they will culture mold and get into your buds.

Also the ones that are crusty are weakened and can attract infestations, bugs, nats.
Take the ones out of the bottom of the soil also.

Looks ok!

Try some cha ching to get the buds to stack more? Im trying it this week and following with Kabloom last 2 weeks.

I agree with Jay about the yellowing, normal, but there seems to be a crispness to the leaves. A brown tinge that suggests a nute problem. A few burn spots like in the back of this picture.

A flush is a no downside way to be sure that you're plants will not loose too much yield or prolong flower. The risk of waiting and seeing is that the fan leaves could burn off, then it's too late. Clean out the root ball and reset the PH to 6.5.

Also, take care when you fertilize. Always make sure the nutes are completely and evenly dissolved before you start feeding. For example, don't fill your bucket, dump your nutes in, then start poiuring, particularly if you're using solid fertilizers like Miracle Gro. What happens is that the crystals sink to the bottom, so that the first 2/3 of the bucket is weak nutrient solution, then the last 10% or so is a very high concentration solution. Either add your nutes first, and dissolve them using the force of the water hose, or add them to the water and dissolve them thoroughly using some kind of stirrer.

Alright will do! Thanks for the advice!
Yea I didn't want to really add my nutes like that normally I give them a good mixing but my watering bucket disapeared so i did it like that, last time i do it like that.
