I'm happy to report that the yellowing has virtually stopped now. the 10-15-10, I think, just wasn't enough for the plant as it was about 3.5weeks into flowering, so I lightly sprayed the top soil with some 15-30-15, and I looked this morning, and it has slowed down a ton. Mistake #17, lesson learned Thanks for all of the help people, much appreciated

misty116: Nutes=nutrients or fertilizer. You use them to feed your plant so it can survive, grow strong, and produce monstor, potent buds. Yes, they are essential. If you don't use them, just look at my pics up top. That's what will happen, they need food to grow and survive, much like humans. Peace.

Awesome chowder! How old is this plant?

Also, it might have been the 10-15-10 that finally kicked in as lightly spraying the top soil with something stronger I wouldn't think is going to get it down into the bottom roots which it seems like it'd have to do to do any good. Just my thoughts.

You could've also foliar fed them and possibly had some success. Gets to everything way quicker that way. Problem though that they say about foliar feeding when a plant is flowering is that it increases the humidity in the flowers and sometimes promotes mold. I saw some pics of moldy buds and they looked bad. The guy had to cut a lot of the bud away and toss it as inhaling mold isn't a real good thing to do if you're a human.

Ya, I think spraying the 15-30-15 had little to no effect on it. Last try for desperation I guess. This plant is...let me see, I vegged for about 3 weeks, and it is now on its 4th week of 12/12, so about 7 weeks old, from seed.

She is still thriving though, slowed down some during this week, but is still producing. Took a toll on her fan leaves though But, as long as she is still flowering I'll keep her.

Thanks again for the help Marc, Latewood and everyone else. Much appreciated!

Yikes chowder! I havent herd from you in ages or seen your flowering thread for those BB's or the SC but that was quite a scare for me reading down this seeing your plant develope such deffiencys. Althought it should be fine now that marc and latewood gave ya some help, if you dont mind on posting a direct link to your flowering thread.

I know, this past week both of my plants have taken a beating. First, the SC is outside still. Turns out, not enough direct sunlight so she stretched a bit. I moved her in a lot more sun now, and had to tie it to a stick, so she could support herself. We have had some flooding here this year and has been extremely wet, so there hasn't been as much sun. I'm not expecting a whole lot from her.

The BB is doing much better now. The fan leaves, only about 4-5 of them are actually still good, the other will probably die off, which will reduce yeild. Oh well, what can ya do

The problem I was having most was decifering between each def.. I had a bitch of a time doing that. So I didn't know if I should give it this or that or what But, I got her fixed and I've learned from this. No more chemicals for me.

She'll pull through though. May not be the prettiest plant in the world, but she is still producing. Here is a link to my current flowering thread. I haven't updated pics recently until I got this problem fixed, so I'll probably post some new pics tomorrow. Here:
