First time growin,somehelp

[irishbud]

My plants (sweet dreams) are now 24 days into there flower cycle...The lower small leaves and the large top fan leaves are turning yellow....I wuld say there is more yellow leaves now than green...I checked my soil and got the following results....

Nitrate.......was LOW
Phosphorus.....was high to medium
Potassium.....was medium to low

Ive been useing the following nutrients....

Dr.Hornby advanced nutrients (big bud) 0-1-4
Advanced nutrients organic super tea .50-1.50-2.0

I've been watering the plant every 3 days maybe and giving it 500ml (half litre).....when giving it nutrients i add 2.5ml of each of the above nutrients in the 500mls of water....I may have gone a wee bit overbord with the nutrients and give it that same amount every 3 days for a number of days...Has anyone any ideas......Ill add a couple of pic's tomorrow so u can see it for yourself......

Thanks for you help

what`s your ph level????

[heartsurgerysurviver]

Yes the PH level is important.
Are you putting in trace elements?
any magnesium sulfate?
peace

I done a soil test yesterday and the PH level was nuetral....Meaning it was between 6.5 and 7...im growing in soil and i read that is perfect PH level????? The only things im adding are the nutrients i listed above....Wats a good thing i can get with trace elements???

Thanks guys.....

you are using the best nutes possible, advanced nutrients are far superior than most.
if it were i, i would cut back slightly on nutes, your small leaf dying problem is likely caused from not enough light getting to them, i wouldnt worry too much about those cause the lowest branches usually dont produce but minimal buds.
the larger fan leafs however, i would have to see them or get a better description of their problem, like, are they curling upwards or downwards?
are just the tips turning yellow, and how far does the yellowing go from the tip to where on the leafs?
hope i didnt confuse you

Thanks for replies people. this morning when i got up allot of leaves all over the plant seem to be turning purple, even the green leaves that are beside and coming out of the buds....I have attached some pic's....any ideas

[llamaman666]

purple is fine, it looks like overwatering from the pictures

i would say low nitrogen. plants still use it during flowering...although not as much

some large fan leaves fall off naturally during the flowering prossess, but your plant seems to have a bit too many yellow leaves for only being half way through the prosses.

[irishbud]

The nutrients im useing contains a small amount of nitrogin as it doesnt use allot when flowering.....What should i do here....will i reduce the amount of water and stop useing the nutrients all together......they are 27 days in a 52 flower cycle...notanovice wat do u think mate????


P.S. when i water my plants i then leave it until the soil is completely dry, i check it useing a moisture metre...And i only give it 500mls of water every 3 days or so.....

Try giving them a trace amounts of nitrogen, and if it works, slowly work your way up, being careful not to give her too much nitrogen.
