probably need some npk additive, what nutes are you using? almost all nutes have a npk additive for those heavy bloomers, bubba kush is one of those heavy indica strains so I'm sure you plants are heavy and buds are sucking the nutes right out the leaves. yellowing is normal right before harvest but I think your still about 3 weeks from harvest, so maybe a little npk will help, but maybe they are ripening. how is your tricom development?
in 3 gal.pots ocean forest.been feeding them with eleanors vf-11 the past 4 weeks .i was thinking a lack of nitrogen. ive had 5 runs w/ same set-up but different strains. waiting on fed-ex for new nutes(GH floranona bloom) also some of the fan leaves are turning purple.i know that the seeds came from some outdoor bubba from northern cali
also im new to the forum so bear with me. trying to figure out how to use everything thats here
oh OK your not using a base nutrient, when they get their us at half or 3/4 strength and your problems should go away. don't worry about being new, all are welcome here, good luck on the grow post some pics if you can.
one thing I suggest is getting some root food back in their I am sure yourbenifical bacterias and fungi's are dead buy now. a good one that is available at any hydro store is roots organic and is about 12 dollars. but if they don't have that any root inoculate is good, their usually expensive which is why I always tell people about roots organic its cheep and its good, not as good as say Advanced nutrients but it is allot cheaper. the best with out a doubt is Vermi-T but is not available in most places, it is alive so it goes bad in 2 weeks so a store must brew it their every week or so.
cool, thanks .fed ex just got here so getting my new nutes now.im thinking 1/2 strength for the soil 1/4 for a foliar. appreciate the tips & response!
Personally, I'd avoid foliar feeding. Just feed the roots. Interesting you were able to go so long without feeding them, other than Eleanor's.
last run was a thai , 4 1/2 months w/ nothing but eleanors and mollasses. ive also done 2 dwc runs with eleanors never checked the ph never changed the res. they were sour diesel flowered from clones but both runs were successful. all in the name of science
btw trichomes look great . not as frosty as my paki but....Quote:

Another thing as soon as flower starts usually folier feeding stops, no moister from spray is supposed to get on buds, causes rot and more pests usually.
Yeah, madsativa, all those reasons and more... you can't controll the foliar feed to well, other than the concentration in water part and you have no guarantee that it will be exactly where you need it to be. If you get a strong enough drop of fert on a leaf, that part of the leaf will die. Trust the roots to do their thing. Good lucks and good grows.
The yellowing is normal for all flowering plants...to a point. It increases starting about the 4-5th week until the end, with the buds staying green and juicy. The plant stops using N in this phase of life....essentially, not completely....and increases it's needs for P and K. That is why the leaves are yellowing.
Giving N at this point will make the end result nasty tasting, no matter how much you flush. As long as the buds stay healthy, who cares about the leaves. They still work for the plant when yellow.
Unsulphered Molasses can be given tho. Won't make the sun leaves green, but will give nutes they need in a natural way.
