Nutrients Autobot 1st Grow, Biotabs & Mephisto

[Wallflower82]

Heck mine usually look like that when flower really kicks in, literally just like your pictures.. purple stems, yellow leaves on the bottom that just eventually come off with little effort, I always thought I was having nitrogen issues but I’ve never really been sure. Feeding the gals usually helps the yellow slow from spreading

Almost looks like a Potassium toxicity or something. Disease or sick plants not really my specialty, but @Waira is the plant doctor in these parts. Maybe you can get some help there.

The MBAP looks like she is fading due to nutes not being available in the soil and she is eating herself. Not a problem this point in the grow. Many plants fade, although I rarely get fade in my environment, many growers get it every time. No stress on that one, maybe give her a little top dress with SF if you want to boost her longer.

Yea...I know she is just hungry as hell. I couldnt keep up with her. I guess...and I Didn't wanna overdo it...but I guess the biotabs stuff you can go a little extra on the N. That MBAP girl is just in a damn hurry! Plus I was a bit under the tabs per pot ratio...it is what it is...the Skywalker i am a little more worried about with the leaves on the buds already so ugly. Hopefully the Doc can see her soon @Waira

MBAP had the purple stems start a while ago, but the leaves were really dark green! She is using a ton of energy! I have always had this happen too...but things were Forest green a few days ago...greenest I have ever grown, by far. Sucks its happening again...even if it isn't near as extreme

Yep, I have never seen leaf fade because I never underfed plants. Like you said, it is what it is...be more careful, cutting corners just causes issues later on. Like you saw in my thread, I overfeed by like 20% or so just to be sure they have all they need, you can't really overfeed in organics, but you can under feed.

You can lock out things though...that may be the issue with SW...but yea...baby steps lol..I'm still happy with the improvement..just more to know next round

Hey Auto! Coming along nicely! I would bet the yellowing leaves are because the plants are hungry and want more nutes to power the bud development! Looks like there will be some monster buds there, and fuel is needed to fatten them. How much are you feeding?

Using biotabs...but didnt have enough to satisfy the tab per pot recommendation...I amended with feather meal, and top dressed again with it around week 3 or 4...used the orgatrex every 3rd watering at least....Si, and Humic given throughout...almost every watering. Started adding Bio PK 2 weeks ago as well, when the buds were starting to fluff up a bit. Used EJ microblast twice.

MBAP just didnt have enough N stored to power through the transition to flower. Only lowers are really yellow, and just a general fade across the whole lady.
Skywalker actually looks a little better today I think...still has some yellow tips...but seems to have lessened
