I have 3 clones that have been in soil for 3 weeks, all fed/watered on same schedule. This particular plant has the outer edges of the fan leaves turning a bright yellow green. Is this nute burn? It seems to only be on the lower leaves.

What should I do to get it back to normal, or prevent this from happening again?

Thanks,

SLG

i don't think it's nute burn as it is only showing on the bottom of the plant. this indicates that it is a mobile element problem. since it's a mobile elelemnt, it moves to where it's needed so you don't see the deficiency in the new growth.

how long have they been in their current pots?

they have been in the 1 gallon pots for almost 4 weeks. I brought them home from the dispensary in rockwool as a rooted clone, and put them in soil.

check the roots. i don't have my reference book in front of me so i can't compare the pics right now, sorry.

what am I looking for with the roots? I pulled the plant up and the roots are white...doesnt seem to heavy to the point it is root bound. The picture is not that great, but hopefully it is helpful.

Thanks

Looks like fert burn to me, especially if you're feeding so often as a water/feed, water/feed with Advanced. That stuff seems kind of hot. The problem with alot of ferts is that the companies don't tell you how often to use their products. Also, since you're using a one gallon pot, I doubt if you have enough soil there to justify feeding so much. When tips go yellow, then brown, it usually mean fert burn. Give it a rinse, then don't water until the soil start to go dry.

Edit, I just saw your photo. I'd transplant into something bigger. Go easy on the ferts.

should I transplant into the 5 gallon pots I plan on flowering in? I have 1 gallon, 5 gallon, and 10 gallon pots. I think the 10 gallon pots are a little big even for flower...whats your opinion?

Well for a "novice", you seem to be pretty on top of your game. Ph is good and everything, IMHO.

Except the amount of ferts/food u r giving it. seems to be a tad higher than what i would recommend. Try doing it less. thats sadly all the advie i can give you

p.s: i have the same problem with my plant. It was turning yellowish green at the tips, then it turned brown and died at the tips. And only on a couple leaves at the bottom. The problem was not overfeeding, persay, more that i mixed two kinds of miracle grow soil. not the smartest move at all. =) nevertheless, it WAS a fert/food problem. I resolved it with a soil change. expensive, but effective

5 Gallon will see you through flowering just fine. Ten gallon per plant is great but a luxury for most indoor grows, and will cost you alot in potting soil. I'd avoid Miracle Grow as some people have problems with it. Get soil from a hydroponic shop if you have one close by, or a soil that isn't loaded with fert from the factory.

I am only using this small closet space for the time being...I have a large 4x8x7 grow tent with a 1000w hps for flowering. I have a small mite infestation in the tent, so I will keep these girls in the closet of my house until my flowering plants finish, at which point I will bomb the tent before unleashing these pretty ladies. There is plenty of room in the tent for the 10 gallon pots...either way, I shouldn't transplant from a 1 gallon to a 10 gallon correct? I need to hit the 5 gallon first right? Thanks!
