Are you using any nutrients? Mine will tend to look like that when i over fertilize. IMO I would only cut leaves off if absolutely necessary. They will fall off or pull off real easy when they are ready. I wouldnt think it was nitrogen deficiency because they are still pretty green. ND usually causes multiple leaves to yellow. Im still a noob so maybe someone with more experience will pipe in. Just out of curiosity, why are you on that light schedule? How come you dont run 18/6, 20/4, 24 etc?

Well a couple things for you buddy...first of all you need to get your plants on a more consistant light scedule I would recomend a 18/6"18 on 6 off":thumbsup: at first this keep your nodes close and tight and also give the max amount of light while still allowing for a dark period..wich is important for cellular growth,also the yellowing on the bottoms leaves is a dead give away to nitrogen deficiancy so bump up your pertilizer but dont over do it give them some high nitrogen fert like say a 16-8-6 or something close your problem will work its self out with in a week hope the info helped my friend....

Dissreguard the previous post I just noticed the pic of the leaves that is a nitrogen burn flush them out with fresh plain water for about a week then only fertilize them once a week and dont water them everyday let the first inch or so of soil dry out marijuana loves wet and dry soil so just do that but the light scedule above should still b put into play take care...

Please do some reading and educate yourself more on growing cannabis. 24 hours and then every 3rd day shut the light off for 6 hours? Man where did you come up with that one?????, that is the most unique one lately.

Dude, fill out the troubleshooting form. Learn about hours of lighting and why you need a dark period every day.

im on that cycle cause i was talking to other people and i plan to keep in the vegatative state find 1 good mom and clone and clone and clone ..i should use a 20 hr cycle maybe but i read that the lights just keep em going when i ever do if maybe want bud ,i'll do the dimming and 12 on 12 if it works im new to this im just trying to keep it alive and healthy now ..it looks great except just a few leaves on the bottom ,,i found 2 more leaves thou

[attemptmischief]

hey knock the lights but the things growing like a monster ,,got me thinking if im burning the plant maybe from light ,,but it does look great and i got like crazy light 2 blue spectrum 1 red ..first time im learning by trial and error but thanks for the advice i'll look in to a dark period every day is good

Attachment 274449Attachment 274450Attachment 274451im bout to post a new pic ,i bout blood meal and mixed a lil on top and tried to corrcet the ph balance in the water so the plant takes the nutes...so for any one knocking my 3 day cycle i was just doing it at first to let the lights cool ,,,im just trying to keep it alive and in the vegitative state n healthy and hopefully it aint a male i got 3 more coming in if you see them in the back ground but i was going for the 24 light cycle first time trial and error they react to the different lights i spin it a lil to see witch light it likes better i wonder if this strengths the stalk or stresses the plant ,?
