Leaves turning yellow, dying from the bottom up (pix included)

elimuir, just go easy on the fert whether bloom or not, follow the directions on the back, just be careful not to overdo it. remember it's easier to add more fert than to remove too much. people can be very eager to grow their plants but all things in their time, eh?

We did! WE mixed accordingly and of course the already damaged one fell off sadly, but we had another big fan that was starting to yellow but it has stopped from what i can tell, and it seems okay. The other plant has red stems on all of its leafs so i added some nutes to it too. I'll post some photos to show improvement tomorrow!

I followed as best as I could and the Yellow/ brown leaf fell off late last night but that was pretty much expected. I had another fan turning yellow near the middle but the yellowing has stopped so I think the chemicals are doing their thing! Just one more question, I have another plant, different strand, that has reddish stems, is that normal? I added the nutrients to it too just for a boost but haven't seen any change.

Thanks polishpollack.

Here is a question for you regarding the flowering process: What physical changes should one expect once the plant goes into flowering?

Today marks 7 days into 12/12 for the light/dark cycle. What should I be looking for on the plant in terms of buds showing up? What are the first 'signs' of the change?

Cheers!

It's been a week since you typed this post, so you're probably seeing those changes you're asking about. White hairs develop and buds form, and that's about it. The plant should become very smelly so I hope you're in a place where you can have that kind of stink around. I had one in a shed and some neighborhood girls came over. They were about ten feet outside the shed and they were asking what stunk so bad. Pretty funny. As weeks go by, the plant will die naturally by turning yellow. As you get into harvest time don't give any more fert for the last couple of weeks. Just let it die. You do this when the plant is big enough but it's not something you can control. The plant will die with or without fert. Don't give fert in the last two weeks because you'll end up consuming it along with the plant. The plant will continue to grow in flower too. You might consider translanting to a bigger container. 5 gallon buckets (20 liters) usually are enough space for an indoor growth life span.
As for colorless world's reddish stems - don't worry about those.

Hey! Well, yep, starting to see the changes. The hairs are starting to develop... when I asked the question I was worried that the plant was going to go hermie as the pre-flowers started showing up and looked odd, but they were actually females. I figure that I have another 4 to 6 weeks of flowering but I'm not sure yet. Thank you for all of the help!

How's the grow now?

Thanks for checking in. I'll give you an update later today.

Make sure you have a small fan knocking the plant around some, not too much, but enough to keep air moving and force the plant's trunk to strengthen. It will continue to grow in flowering. Go easy on the fert, unless you know for sure that it needs a little more to solve a deficiency. It doesn't take much of dynagrow to work good, especially in soil. By the way, I've been meaning to ask what country are you in? I'm curious about where that fert is being sold. Alot of people want to use fancy ferts but if you don't know how to use that stuff you just end up killing your plants.
