question about leaf color

my plant just showed sex about 4 days ago and the very first fan leaves on the plant the single blade ones are urning yellow now i know that that is the first sign of nitrogen diffecience but i was wondering if thats pretty common durring the stages of flowering any input on this subject would be helpful those are the only leave doing it the rest are dark green and looking perfect if anyone has any ideas on hoe to fix this if its anything needing fixing that is also was wondering about flowering how to increase yield, speed up the process etc etc thanks everyone

Its probably just the starter leaves, and nothing to worry about.

If you want yield, I would reccomend at least 400 watts of hps power.

Best of luck to you :)
 
im kind of on a budget im using 3 100 watt cfl or 100 watt equivelent for now i think im going to add two more its my first grow so going through everything im working on my grow box 16 square foot and will have about 1200 watts of 2700 lumen cfls for veg through finish i would love to do hps but really dont know where to find the stuff i need and have a family so trying to keep it low key i was going to do 24/0 on a clone veg and 12/12 on another once she hits 12-18 inches

Check out Advance nutrients on youtube, then go to the episode plant deficiencies i think it's EP 25
His plant has no nutrient deficiencies.. Probably too much nitrogen since the leaves are dark green, but other than that he's cool.

Dont send him to an advance Nutrient video.. wrong answer.

Your first post.. hmmmmmm. Is this Fat Mike?? lol!

Understand... All i have left to say is this "you get back what you put into your growroom"

Check this site>>www.ecogrow.com Order from that company alot, and they do me right.

Best of luck to your op :)
 
thanks everyone for the quick responses glad its nothing to worry about was worried cause she has been doing so good so kind of waiting for the show to drop you know but seems like im doing everything well enough for now
 
Real 1200 watts of CFL, or equivalent?


Edit:

There's no real way to speed up flowering aside from harvesting early, and you don't wanna do that. As far as increasing yield, you can start training the plant with LST(or another form) and you can increase light intensity.

Who is Fat Mike? I think that was my first post. I see you all over this thing. You have me thinking about DWC. I'm doing the 5 Gal. bucket system. Works great but expensive. I gotta do some more research b4 i switch over tho.
