My leaves are yellowing once again...need some marijuana wisdom in here.

high all,

It's been quite some time since I posted any of my growing. My last grow was a total botch, that's why the lack of posting. Long story short, I had a Big Blue lady and a Strawberry Cough lady...so I thought. Turns out, the BB was a female, SC wasn't. BB got a load blown on her, pollinated, seeded buds...BUT, the upside was I crossed 2 different, potent strains together, and the result was seeded buds, but about 50 mature, good seeds. I created a new strain! :thumbsup: I think that's how she works...

anyways...I grew out one of the seeds, decided to just have 1 plant going, but I tried something called topping. Here is a short rundown of the progress so far.

After 3 weeks from seed, in veg. stage, I gave her 2 small, 1/4 blasts of fish emulsion 5-1-1. Slight yellowing of leaves, stopped after feeding of 5-1-1.

After approx. 4 weeks of veg, I transplanted, 7 days later, I topped her at the 5th node.

10days later, after I saw her split into 2 tops, I switched to flowering.

2 weeks into flowering she starts yellowing again, so I give her some 10-15-10, not even 1/4 strength, very low dose. She continued to yellow, so I just watered with plain water, then a few days later I gave her another, not even 1/4 strength blast of 15-30-15...she continued to yellow, so I gave her 1/4 strength blast again.

She has seemed to slow down a little bit now, but now I fear overfeeding.

I have enclosed several pictures, so I hope it helps.

Vegged under 100w CFL's, flowering under 150hps. Temp is at a nice 20degC, good ventilation, I use 3/4 soil, 1/4 vermiculite and use tap water.Hmmmm...I think that is all.

I hope some of you made it through this long message :D as I do appreciate it much. Any help on ?WHY? my leaves are yellowing, please, give a feeble mind some insight.

more pics...

last but not least...

Nice looking plants. They are not overfed...only lack of light on lower leaves.

You think so? Like, the leaves aren't dying off too fast, they just seem to be yellowing fully, then start to die.

I' also know that some of the original fan leaves turn yellow and die off during flowering. I just want to make sure this isn't too, too serious, as it seems to be slowly climbing up the plant.

Looks like you are slightly under feeding. Give them a complete nutrient solution you will see the difference within a week. Let us know how they turn out.

Alrighty then. Will do next time I feed.

Thanks for the insight.

yeah, I concur, give them a full dose of nutes, but yellow leaves in flower means the plant is sucking nitrogen out of those leaves to use...no biggie...keep up the good work.lw
