Yellow flowering tops AGH?!?!?

[free2seed]

this is a 175w hps with two floresents that was around hanging on the sides...this is after roughly a month of 24/24..and im finding my flowering sites are yellowing hardcore and in some spots almost white.. ferts are Open Seasame and spraying dutchmster Penetrator..
Also.. noticed the flowers do not have much thc crystalization. The original mother was a decent puff but maybe under/over fertilizing?
Sorry for the poor quality
Any help is EXTREMELY appreciated...so far failure has been common on most grows

Too much nitrogen??? NPK values should be like this 0-15-15

also PH lockout try and keep PH at 6.5

if you dont know what any of this is then you might as well not bother asking me just look around the site

i understand, i have been fertilizing a bit more than i probably should and about to get a ph meter so hopefully thatll solve the issue if it is out of range, thx

thanks, i knew i shoulda went the extra mile with the trio pack but was being cheap and was thinking i would get away with just the NPK but you are right, they dont make a trio pack for nothing lol :thumbsup: much appreciated

It may be difficult to make this kind of diagnosis based on this picture. This link ( http://boards.cannabis.com/grow-faqs...nutrients.html ) is a good place to start.

Also where did you learn that you want a PH of 6.5? I grow hydro so it is a little different but a PH that high will not allow the trace nutrients needed for flower to be absorbed. I highly recommend you read this link ( http://boards.cannabis.com/basic-gro...nutrition.html ) and try to understand.

Lastly, are you flowering with the lights on for 24 hours and then off for 24 hours? I'm not sure what you mean by 24/24. Check out this link for getting started with your lighting schedule http://boards.cannabis.com/grow-faqs...ut-lights.html

The only reason I piped in is that this forum is here to help you. All the information you need to have a successful grow is in the Grow Facts and the Growing Basics forums. You can check out the results of reading ( and understanding) the concepts from these areas as well and following Latewood's Legacy feeding schedule. Here is a link to my grow http://boards.cannabis.com/hydroponi...ys-flower.html

Call it paranoia but I've decided not to post pics of my current grow but with the lessons I learned last time it is :rastasmoke::thumbsup: poised to give me a bigger yield.http://boards.cannabis.com/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

Thanks I appreciate the input and will definetly read up on it. the pics are of a grow room in a undisclosed area in Europe by another person if any agents are snooping around lol:wtf:

[free2seed]

I think I solved the issue, I did a flush with warm water and raised the lights up about 3-4inches so hopefully thatll help

You should have your friend in Europe post some pics...LOL. Did you also get your self a good 3 part and a PH/EC/PPM meter? Thats what I would recommend your next investment to be. Cheers, I'm glad they are getting better.
