wow, wtf happened to this thread? this is OP here, so what about this advice I got to remove all the yellow leaves? I'm trying to figure out if that was a mistake or not because that's what I thought, that it as drawing nutrients through the leaves and not through the soil. A friend who's grows speak for themselves told me to remove all yellow growth so it doesn't spread and to take everything off the bottom to direct the energy to the upper part of the plant. Was this good advice? or should I have corrected the nutrient problem before removing leaves?

see at this point the yellowing is continuing onto green leaves now and Im starting to get concerned about losing this whole plant to yellow leaves.

a little more info: yeah these are 2 gallon pots, I ordered some 3 gallon smarties for my next grow and already have 4 new sprouts in a coco/perlite mix. This was my first grow. 5 plants - 1 turned out female. used shitty soil. had a lot of heat problems for a while. Now all that's under control im wondering if its deficiency or over-nuting. There ARE burnt leaf tips, but its 3 months old so the time released nutes should be gone and I only fed veg nutes twice and flowering nutes once, in very light concentrations w/ cal mag. Just don't want to lose this lady, its starting to really spit out some gooey stuff but the yellowing is creeping toward the top.

why would removing the yellow leaves stop the spread? they are yellow because the plant is taking nutes from itself, if you remove the yellow leaves it would have to go to another leaf
