Yellowing

[Tupamaro]

My plant is probably midway through flowering. And for some reason the fan leaves, yellow dry out and than just kind of fall off. wondering what this can be caused from. also how to fix. thanks a lot.

well yellowing leaves is normal during flowering, i believe. you can supplement that by making sure your fertilizer has lots of nitrogen in it. my plants are actually doing the same thing, but the leaves are yellowing quite rapidly and dying off. i still haven't quite figured it out, i have tried lots of nutes, and no nutes and it hasn't seemed to help yet. but try the extra nitrogen and see what happens. posting some pics of the yellowing leaves will help us out too.

N def. during flowering is comon in dirt .
got 2 that are doing it now , tried folial feeding em N , N in nutes and nothing helps ? most of my grows are in hydro now because of it .

hey sweetie, all of my outdoor grows do what you are experiencing now. i think it may be in the genes, as i always used the same seeds, or seeds from a previous grow...

i recomend removing the dead leaves, and concentrating on keeping the rest of the plant happy. if they are dying a few at a time, i wouldn't worry to much. if they all turn color and start to die, then you have a problem.

mmho...

love, kp:p

my plants are only 3 weeks into flower, and they are losing lots of fan leaves. There are barely any large fan leaves left, the only leaves that remain are the smaller fan leaves that cover the stems and the growth/bud tips. The bigger ones shed just less than a handful of leaves a day. Is this normal? If not.... how the hell do I fix it? I have been giving them lots of N, which greens up the tips, but does nothing for the older leaves. Is this gonna fuck up my plant before I am able to harvest?

ive had em naked except for lil guard leaves in the budz and still finish .
just in the nik of time tho .

hmm well i am hoping they will be ok. They are stil quite leafy, I am just worried that the plant is gonna end up offing itself before it's time to harvest it. We are gonna pump them full of more N though, and see what happens. If they get shittier, at least it's easy to fix, by flushing. If they get better- well that's just awesome. Thanks for ur help btw. And Tupamaro, I don't mean to steal ur thread- i hope all this info helps you too.

oh alright, thanks alot. i was just a little worried. i actually made some hash out of all of the leaves that has been falling off. not to great though. a quick head high but whatever. thanks a lot.

I wouldn't do that if I were you.

[Tupamaro]

besides the obvious it will only get a short head high, why wouldn't you do that?

[bud luv]

There are probably no trichomes on those old nasty fan leaves, but there is certainly a chemical buildup which can't be good for you.

The "head high" you're feeling is probably just lack of oxygen in your lungs.

[Tupamaro]

theres a chemical buildup in all bud you smoke. doesn't mean your lungs aren't going to get oxygen.

[bud luv]

Yeah, but you don't usually smoke crusty old nute-burned fan leaves.

doesn't mean your lungs aren't going to get oxygen.

The chem buildup has nothing to do with that.


Hey man, to each his own. It's probably better than smoking cigarettes. ;)

[Tupamaro]

haha this is true. but i thought the fell because of lack of nitrogen?

any big hit of smoke gives you a rush... its just like choking yourself...
