I do everything right, plants still dying.

I use organic nutrients, PH my water to 6.2-6.4 every feeding, yet my plants are yellowing pretty badly and losing all thier fan leaves. One of my plants sugar leaves are even turning yellow and shriveling up. But the yellowing isnt starting from the bottom up it seems to ffect the entire plant all at once. The only thing I can think of is that I dont have a tds meter and I use tap water streight out the tap.

Use filtered water and let it sit 48 hours. Don't overwater.

you got pics and more info like how old is plant what are you feeding it and how bigg of a pot is it in and how often you water

it could be nitrogen deficient. pics and more info is needed if you would like a more certain answer.

Filtered water does not need to sit out like tap water does. It already has the chlorine removed by virtue of the filtering process, so letting it sit out for 48 hours is a waste of time.

All my plants are yellowing except 1 and I harvest 2 on the 10th theyre in some seriously bad shape, and 3 more that are yellowing that are harvested on the 20th. Theyre all in 2 gallon pots, not very tall and I water them when I see that the top most soil is dry. Im using Earth Juice bloom 0-3-1, EJ meta K 0-0-10 and a table spoon of molasses. I'll put up some pics in a while.

let the soil dry out! poke your finger in up to your second knuckle feel wet dont water roots need to breath

Roots require Oxygen to breathe and low levels are the main cause of almost all root diseases. Both soil and hydroponic plants often fall prey to the same syndrome although it is rarely recognized as what it really is. Hydroponic crops often fail due to "root rot" and soil crops succumb to "over watering." The real cause of both these problems is a shortage of Oxygen at the root zone. In a soil system the soil consists of particles, a film of water on the particles and air spaces between the particles. When too much water is put into the soil the air spaces fill with liquid. The roots will quickly use up what Oxygen is dissolved in the water, if they haven't drunk enough of the liquid to allow air back in to the soil spaces they will stop working. In this situation roots will start dying within twenty-four hours. As the roots die the plants ability to drink water and nutrients will decrease, this will cause symptoms of nutrient deficiencies (mostly pale, slow, weak growth), and strangely they will start to wilt like they don't have enough water. It is easy to make a fatal mistake at this point and add more water.

where are the pics broooo?

thier kind of shitty though. The one in the blurry pic is even starting to lose bud leaves so I might have to harvest 8 days earlier. But you can clearly see whatIm dealing with here. Like I said I cant think of a reason for nutrient lock out or over fert. Tap water could be, but my vegging plants get tap water as well and thier all lush and green.

are you pH'ing the water and soil?

I have a steady feeding schedule and my runoff is between 6.2-6.4

Since you are going to harvest soon (8 days away?) just start the flush, feed em plain water and let them complete their life cycle, for now. In the future (next grow) and the next time you put plants into flower cycle use a full feeding system with an npk similar to this, 4-8-7, for flowering plants. Flwoering plants still require a small amount of nitrogen. You can use your bloom enhancers along with the full feeding system. A full system food has essencial elements that your plant needs throughout its life cycle.

At this time your plants look good for the point they are at, nearly done. Some of the color changes in the leaves you are seeing is natural. Hope this helps.

Forgot to mention...this is not a ph issue so do nothing to the ph.

Well maybe they are just showing that they are done...One week into harvest...cant really see well those pics but every plant starts to turn her leaves yellow in certain stage of flowering...she's just done with her job. What color are the hair? You should harvest once about 80% of the hair turns brown/yellow.

2 of my plants are scheduled to be harvested on the 10th, both yellowing badly and the others not until the 20th. But due to the stress they could end up finishing early.

Even if you took them down today it would not be too early, the 10th is only 8 days away. Just feed them water for another 8 days and then harvest. They are not that stressed out, they are completing their life.

thanks brasmith.

Sure anytime. Try a nug...pick one out cut it dry it smoke it. You'll probably be rather pleased about your turn out. Have fun

dude seriously that close to harvest yellowing and lossing leaves is normal, the excess yellowing is due to lack of nitrogen sounds like you hadnt given them any nitrogen in a while. dont worry your almost done

chlorine is for all effective purposes gone by the time you can get it on the plants. 99% is gone just a couple minutes after coming outta the tap.
