Lower leaf yellowing is usually a sign of Nitrogen deficiency. I think that's what's going on there. If that is a 5 gallon bucket it might be enough to last the entire grow, space-wise that is. You need to add some fert and at times like this I usually recommend that a person use Dynagrow 7-9-5. There's really only two ferts from Dynagrow and I suspect it's because they realize it's all you really need. The 7-9-5 fert is actually for veg but you've been growing that plant for long enough that you need to put it on a 12/12 light cycle, 12 hours on, 12 hours off, to get its hormones to change from growing to budding. Growhand is right, the plant will continue to grow but it will be less than if you gave it more lighting. About topping, it doesn't really matter. You can just cut off about one inch off the top. If the branches get too long, you can cut them off, but not too much as the plant needs the leaves to convert light to sugars in photosynthesis. The fertilizer will set you back close to $20. Several years ago it was only $11 and was the shit to use as it has pretty much everything plants need. Just use that and good potting soil and you won't have to do anything else. Just be carefull not to overdo it. Follow the directions on the back where you use 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon in a gallon of water for soil grows. It can be used in hydro too at a different strength. If might better to the the other fert, the one for flowering. It will provide nitrogen, but considerably more phosphorus, which is needed for flowering. However, I suspect that the 7-9-5 will probably be okay for you're use here. If you don't want to spend the extra money, you can get something like Schultz for alot cheaper at places like Walmart.

polishpollack Reviewed by polishpollack on . drOOpy leaves for nOOb Need help. Stat! Closet grow...My fan leaves have begun to droop. Not just the leaves. The entire branch. Only the fan leaves..other plants in different location, same setup and everything, no problems except the burn mentioned below. This one, I've had various issues thru the growth but nothing drastic. This seems to be an issue I can't ignore. I had nute burn which I flushed and cut down. I had inadequate lighting so I upped the lumens. Did great. Temp always 68°-75°. Unsure of humidity and Rating: 5
