Leaf issues.

I have a plant the strain is jack herer. I have it by a bush that it began to out grow. So I tied it down to a deck its beside to prevent it from growing above the bush. Well 2 days later it started getting yellow leaves in the bottom. That seems to be spreading up the plant. Is it related to me possibly stressing it when I bent it over (carefully)? Or am I deficient in something? All I've done is gave it miracle grow during veg. It is in flower now. Thanks very much in advance for any help.

Looks like an average outdoor plant to me. It might be in a bit too much shade, it's a bit leggy.

Yeah unfortunately I'm in a non legal state so it has to stay hidden. So I couldn't get it in full sun. It just seems like the leaves turning yellow just cam put of no where. And it seems to be spreading up the plant.

It could be a nitrogen deficiency. Plant needing more nitrogen.
It could also be over watering. Does the soil drain well?
It could also be an older leaf yellowing and falling off, naturally. Lol

I guess they could still use nitrogen during flower? I had it in my head that you don't do nitrogen after flowering has started. The soil does drain pretty well. If it had started 2 weeks ago I'd think over water. Because we had rain just about every day for 3 weeks. I just hope it isn't a disease. We've made it to far for it to die lol.

Yes it could need nitrogen still in bloom. Mainly in the beginning. You said you used miracle grow, maybe it used up all the nitrogen if the plant seems like it grew faster than usual. Or the soil spent all the nutes and it needs nitrogen and phosphorus... My buddy grew fire and he gave me nutrients and his feeding schedule so I could grow the same way and he used to give the clones and the smaller plants 3ml of the nitrogen while he gave the bigger plants 5ml, then as they got bigger he would give them 7ml, then more as the plant reached the end of veg. Then after he switched to flower he would slowly start cutting it back the opposite amount, and as he took away, whatever nitrogen was being taken, he would slowly start building up that number in phosphorus. Until about the 4th week in flower. Then at that point the plant would only be getting more and more phosphorus (no more nitrogen) until about two weeks before harvest. Then he started using Trinity to flush it all out.

It would appear that it was just some leaves that were giving out. It is growing strong. I have switched it to the miracle grow bloom booster now. I appreciate the advice on the feeding. I plan to try that next year. Still a long way to go in the season.
