Leaves Starting to Yellow and Droop from the Bottom Up!

Sorry these are late, I couldn't get pics till now. I just took these about 20mins ago, just before lights out. In the last picture you can see what looks to be nute burn, this occured on the fan leaves. I'll try to get a less blurry one later.





Re the flowertabs, they have gotten great reviews which is why I opted for them - I'm still learning

@Sparks - the light is cfl

When was the last time you watered?

2 evenings ago, I plan to water this evening when the lights come on.

Might have to go every day if thats the case. The bigger the plant the more water it uses.

Being a noob I've been sticking to the less is better philosophy, for fear of doing damage. I generally water between 1/3 to 1/2 a pint of water but I'll give the pot a good soaking this evening.

In your opinion, can you see N deficiency?

No and yes water it completely every time. If that is all you have been watering that is the cause of the signs of stress you are seeing.

Appreciate the advice, thanks!

I am with spakafire you got a water problem it is lack of water. Soak that thing make sure there are drain holes and do not let the water pool up in the drip pans. I place 3-4 small 2 x 4 blocks of wood under my pot to lift it a little above the pan so the plant will never soak in the pool that may create. This technique will virtually iliminate any chance of over watering as long as your soil is not too dense if it is just add some perlite next transplant. Let the top of you soil get dry but don't let it get dry to the point where 6 inches deep is just as dry as the top layer. Those bottom sagging green leaves will probably turn yellow and never fully recover but don't worry the bottom stuff never produces much anyways.

Yer i would like to see what the result is from a good watering, at that size like a lot of mine you can water them in the sink as it is easy to transport them. I take the pot out of the water tray and place in the sink, that way if there is a lot of water coming out of the bottom it will go down the plug hole not sit in the water tray, give em 15mins after watering in the sink to drain properly. Also that soil looks a fine grade of soil, just looks like seedling soil or somthing, what soil did you say it was? One final problem i get it that when the soil goes really dry it dose not seem to want to absorb the water and a lot of it will run straight through the pot and out the bottom, to combat this i water small amounts all over the surface, give it 5 mins to soak in and do it again till the pot feels heavy and all the soil is wet.

I love that cfl you got, what is it a 125watt in blue colour spectrum?

That seems to have done the trick alright, she's perked right up! It seems to have sped up her flowering too, I expect I'll start seeing some buds/frost pretty soon. WIHOO!!!!

Kingrow, she's in miracle grow multipurpose compost, and seems to be holding her own pretty well in it. The cfl is a 125w blue/red dual spec, I got it on ebay! http://cgi.ebay.ie/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250721509489&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSA:IE:1123

I love ebay.....

I 3rd that....those bouncing boobies keep sucking me in like a magnet every time

I think thats the only reason why i subscribe to this thread, even my girlfriend was checking those boobies out. If you changed your avater i might have more of a conversation but then again i might not notice you so much!lol I use the 250 and 200w cfl in blue and red for flowering, i love those big cfl's as much as i love them big boobs!

I have never seen the dual spec flourescents in action and have never really wanted one, i always stick to either the blue or red spectrum and both for flowering to give me a dual spec. I believe even though it is dual spec it will be heavily leaning towards either the red or the blue spectrum. I have been researching these but i still prefer my envirolites. For some reason the envirolites seem to be the brightest and have bought other brands only to go back to the envirolites. I found it hard to get the light intensity and quality from some of the cheaper lights although all grew good weed. Glad the problem has cleared up! Can we get back to talking about boobs now guys!lol!
