In soil, 5 weeks of flowering White Widow.
Two days ago I watered with Pure Blend Pro Soil 1-4-5, Liquid Karma and Molasses.
PH has been fine all along... temps got down to 67F last 2 nights.
I used a tad more of the NUTES/SUPPLEMENTS and Molasses the usual (2 tablespoons of each instead of one). I figured they could take more phosphate/Cal/Mag and Potash at this stage.
Should I worry about this new discoloration...leaves by buds are fine (including Colas)

THREE DAYS AGO NOW

What is your ph and EC (ppm) level? How often do you water them? If the leafs start yellowing, no problem, it just means that the plant doesnt have any more N to use.

The PH is 7.0 and I don't have an EC meter so I have no idea what the PPM is. My lowest fan leaves have been slowly and steadily showing Nitrogen depletion which I know is normal. But I didn't look at the girls for one day...so I was surprised to find what I did today. I water every 3-4 days depending on container weight. The girls have been drinking more the last couple of weeks, as the buds increase.

Ph for soil is 6.5, make it happen. Get an PPM meter (so you know HOW MUCH nutes your puttin in) And you should think abouth flusing. I grow in coco and my EC levels are high as 2.0 - 2.5 and they are still alive :D...But i do flush em every week couse i dont want to take any chances.

if you are useing tap water(not well water)are you letting it stand for a day or so with a bubbler in it,I had a few plants in soil and hydro that had simalar symtoms,my leaves eventually ended up drying out.my buds were fine.at the time I was useing straight tap water and I think it may have been caused by the chlorine in my water.I now do everything the same as before but I let my tap water sit with a bubbler in it

Took closer look today...maybe its just mature plant depleting nitogen ????????
I have abot 4 to 5 weeks flowering left and the flowering parts look real good.

I've read my books today and I think there's a 50% chance that this might be normal.

Any input night RIU BUDdies ?????
 
leave it be for a few days and see what happens and l;et it totally dry out and then start over at a nice 500-65-pppm and see what happens.

O you dont have a meter...go and get one they are like 20 something at htg supply.
I cant see anything to get real upset about.

OK, I ordered the meter. Tomorrow I'll have to read up on how and why to use it.

Check your ppm. I ran into a problem one of my girls that was in flowering started showing multi-able signs of problems like yours and it was cause I had my nutrients were WAYYYYY TO LOW. I was starving it. As soon as I raised it up everthing stopped now my plants are growing amazing again. :-)
