There losing there green .

I am a first time grower and have been reading this forum alot but I can't find the answer . My plants have been doing real good in growth there about 6 ft. now last week I noticed a few yellow leaves from what I have been reading this is normal . Today I have noticed there losing the dark green color but still green there just not the good healthy green they were IS THERE A PROBLEM ?

I planted them in a compost soil and only 2 waterings ago started them on 15-30-15 @ 1/4 strength and this fading came since then .

1/4 strength? If they are 6 foot tall they can take alot. A baby eats baby food and a man six foot tall eats steak and potatoes with corn on the cob. Thats a big boy/girl now so ya can feed them alot.

Feed it it will turn green.

It kind of shocked me today they were looking so healthy green b4 using this mix. It seem like it is only on the bottom 1/2 of the plant @ this time if it's food she wants it food she will get . should I mix to the mix on the box ?

Wait what kind of ferts are they.(NAME)

Up the nutes give them full strength this will stop the yellowing! they will grow like crazy too

They are not going to turn green over night. I am sure they are in the ground. So mix up about 3 gallons of it and water the plant. Then just water as usual. It may take a week or 2 for them to turn green.

Thanks .... Like I said this shocked me today this all happened it seems since I watered with MG. If they grow much taller they will blow there cover lol and fading might be the least of my problem . Again thanks .

get some string and tie them down from the top, bend them over as much as they will yield. they will try to correct them selfs and grow more bushy with more tops

Ok job done .On the directions it says use every 7-14 days I usually water every other day so should I go somewhere in the middle say 10 day b4 I use MG again or should I go l longer ?

Use as needed. The plant will let you know. That is a guide when to to use it. Give them a blast of it and wait for them to green up. Like i said it wont happen over night so wait a week. Are they in the ground?

There in big pots something like 70 liters of soil each above ground.Like I mentioned up until a week ago they looked real good a dark green then the other day after using MG they kind of faded I wasn't sure if it was something I had done wrong .I will wait a week or 2 to see what happens .

I'll give mine some algae or even a shot of veg. nutes if the yellowing is too rapid. (for N)...I like a 10-25-20 sort of ratio for flower, plus I add Mg (epsom salts) at every 3-4 watering.. the 1/4 strength is only for new plants and 1st feedings...

Mattso's right.. I did that with great success...lots of the small tops are now big ones..
