Problem with Texas Hammer x Sharon Widow - Pics Attached

[imblissedandgone]

I'm having some problems with a budding Texas Hammer x Sharon Widow. Attached are pictures.

Here's what I've been doing and giving it:

Flowering Day 30 - 12/12
400 Watt HPS - Hortilux
Vegged with FoxFarm Grow Big
Blooming Fert. 1 tsp of Flora Nova / gallon
Soil - FoxFarm Ocean Forest
PH is fine

I also gave it some magnessium as I thought it might be that, but it has continued to progress. The leaves on the bottom started dying first. It's not even that they are turning yellow, but that they go from green to yellow to white just about.

Peace

Let me know what you think.

No one? I could really use some help here. It would be much appreciated.

im no expert but looks like it may be nitrogen deficancy which is common during flowering

I wish I had an answer for you mate but I dont. Not experienced enough at it myself but I do feel for you and I hope someone here who has already been through it before and can share what they've done about it.

the plant is using the nutrients in those big fan leaves to feed your buds. i think it's ok just let them fall off and depending on how many days of flowering you have left i wouldnt feed them any nutes just pure water. that will flush them out and help the taste. goodluck man

[Pass That Shit]

Your plant looks nice. I would remove those yellow falling leaves to allow more light to the smaller leaves and flowers :)

No, leave the leaves on, dont cut them. You'll shock the plant in the worst time, because you'll stunt its growth because it'll focus its energy on the cut.

Let them fall off on their own/.

OMG!

Why don't ppl post after they've read the FAQ's!!!!

Fan leaves fall off all the time when it flowers..........this is NATURAL........man the amount of times I've seen this type of msg is driving me nuts.

Cutting is generally bad during flowering....then again if you must, its not a major concern

[invision]

dont cut the fan leaves even if they are dying they still produce sugars to the buds let them fall off you dont have much further to go

[Pass That Shit]

You can leave them on if you like, but keep in mind that some are completely yellow and they are no longer providing nutrients to the plant. Actually they are blocking the rest of the plant of light.

Straight out of cannabis.com:


If you've stuck with me this far, you are wondering what a "fan" leaf is. They are the wonderful, fat, shade leaves that are going to cut the light to all of the bud sites developing down thru the plant and must be removed.

"Snip the fan leaf stem close to but not touching the node. Remove the upper fan or shade leaves to expose the floral clusters. Do not trim all the leaves away for the upper portions of the plant as they are still necessary for food production."

OK, maybe I wasn;'t clear. I know how plants look when they are flowering, etc. I've done this before... I know my shit, but I just don't know what this is. The leafs have been turning yellow and all of the side currling in like you see in the pic since about a week into flower.
