So for the past few weeks i've noticed the plant getting lighter in color and I just came back from being gone for a week, and it's bad news. Ph is fine, i've been using tap water, i'm not sure the TDS. I've been fertilizing with fish emultion every two weeks or so so i don't think it's a nitrogen deficiency, but who knows, it looks like it's turning yellow from the viens outward. Any feedback is appreciated, Thanks.
what kindof soil u using?
Magnesium deficiency I would 'guess'.
I would get a 3 part npk nute and feed em there hungry
Well I can't remember the soil mix, but i've used it before and it's worked great, it should have plenty of nutrients from the soil and fish emultion. With Mg def. the vein's remain green so that's out i believe. The leaves are curled up also dunno. Bah...
Ok well u.g.u you might be right, i totally forgot about fertilizing with a balanced fert. after transfering it so lemme try that out and i'll get back. But if anyone else can identify something i'm all ears.

I would transplant her into a 3-5 gallon pot.. mixed with perlite.. and saturate her with plenty of 6.5 water...
and feed her!!!!
iloveyou
leaves often point up because of extreme heat...this is common with indoor grows during summer time.... is it hot as hell in your area?
dude how do you make your plant like that?
it hasn't been extremely hot, probabaly 90 at the most so i dunno. Prowler i'ma say genetics because I haven't done anything special and the plant it was cloned from has the same look i guess (i've yet to see it). I'm going to take a picture of it Friday I think so i'll post a few picture of it then.
The fish emulsion is a great supplement but does not replace a traditional npk fertilizer.
You may have an iron problem- notice the damage is most severe at the petiole?
You're going to want to use a complete fertilizer that includes micronutrients.
traditional npk fertilizer.
whats npk???
im just using dirt.. and smashed up vitamins and stuff????
damn im so lost but the plant look kool(cept the part about it being hungry)
feed those flowers in the background while you're at it, I hate to see any plant suffer.

Haha those plants in the background do get fed, but at random times during the year the leaves die and come back. My roomate also got them for free so i'm not too worried ;)
maybe the tap water you're using has too much chlorine. anytime you use tap water, it should be left in an open container for 24 hours before watering with it. this will evaporate out chlorine and other shit that humans are adaptable to, but plants aren't as much. it will also allow the water to be room temp when you water, so you don't shock the roots with cold water. this is just a guess that it relates to your current problem, since it really does look like a nutrient deficiency
I think it's Iron deficiency. Really.
Try IronGreen. I think you can foliar feed it for quick green-up.
I would also say it lloks like a nitrogen deff.
