It almost looks like they were bleached. How are you growing them? Are they outdoors in sunlight like it looks in the pictures? Or are they inside under artificial lights?

Are you giving them any food? What kind of soil?

I guess you could just tell people you are growing Acapulco Gold! You've stumped me with that. I would guess some sort of nutrient difficiency, but I don't know what, never seen that before.

Looks like Groweasy's iron deficiency write up....

I think that's the only deficiency that I can think of that makes the plants discolour like that.


Make sure you read it closely, the answer rarely is to add more iron...


"The following severe iron deficiency was actually caused by an outdoor grower using too much pure chicken manure as a fertilizer. Any time you use manure to fertilize your plants, remember a little bit goes a long way! Chicken manure tends to raise the pH of soil, which is one of the prime triggers of an iron deficiency. In addition to changing the pH, the high level of nutrients contained in chicken manure may have interfered with iron uptake by the roots, causing further iron lock-out."
 
I'm growing outdoors. Was using some sensi bloom feed for weeks 1-6 of flowering. Any tips on how to be sure the plant will be ok?

Someone told me to start flushing the plant with plain water and he poured close to 2 gallons of water on the soil. It's in a 5 and half gallon pot.

wow, never seen anything like that personally. Is that soil? or just some dirt you found on the side of the road? Looks pretty heavy like clay. I'm guessing there is no perlite in there either? If you are 6 weeks into flower, I would suggest just starting over.. Chalk this up to a learning experience. Good luck.
