colour change???

[porkbellies]

2 weeks into flowering and leaves are starting to turn yellow .....whats the problem ???do some strains do that or is it lack of fert.??

[simguy665]

your plant may be root bound or could be a nute burn. are you fert'ing every water? and how big are the pot and plant you have?

fert. once a week and they are in 2 gallon pots..buds are getting big but those big leaves are yellow. i never have this problem with other strains. this strain is unknown to me oh the stems are red so maybe that will help to find out what kind
they are 3 feet tall under a 1000 hps...I believe it's the kind of plant that shed leaves but what can I do to stop this from happining???? thanks:thumbsup:

Can help better if you completely and accurately fill out the troubleshooting form. (link is in my sig) Pix are also welcome.

Likely rootbound, and she's starting her pre-motherhood stretch. (PMS)

Did you veg these plants longer? (giving roots more time to outgrow the pot) Do you use a micronute additive? Do you know the ph of the water and run-off?

Without more info, my guess is it's either a purple strain of some sort, or plant is not uptaking nutes. A careful transplant to a larger pot is likely the solution. (use a non pre-ferted soil mix if possible) A quarter-strength veg-fert spray would likely help until you transplant. A fine spray, not a drench...raise the lights till moisture on leaves dries, or risk burning the leaves. This is not a recommended end-all solution, but a temporary band-aid till problem fixed. Once or twice likely ok, but more would be pushing it.

There are really only two times a cannabis plant sheds it's leaves so early in flower. Low light, as in deep inside the canopy...or stress. By the sounds of it, stress is more likely.
