Slight weirdness, opinions please :)

Hiya all,

I'm growing a 8 plants in coir fibre and using B'Cuzz A & B; B' Cuzz S.A. (PK-13-14); B' Cuzz Booster. The plants are about 4 foot tall each (veg'd for two extra weeks) and they are in the 3rd week of flowering with another 5 to go.

Ever since they started I've been mostly bottom feeding them (NO foliar feeding at all) and have had them in ideal conditions (26.5C, and under a 1000W HPS lamp [400W MH in veg]) They have always had a bit of a yellowing on some fan leaves at the bottom of the plants but have grown well and all new growth is strong and explosive although very dark green (too much N ???)

Now that they are in flower fan leaves are just dropping off the damn things. I had a small bug problem at the very beginning but a spray of chili pepper, garlic and veg oil in water sorted them out with only a little leaf burning. (Yeah I like au naturale products mostly)

The problems can be outlined by the pictures below. My thoughts are; either too much nutes and have nute burn, or else too little of something. I'm using the instructions on the bottles for feeding.

I want to stop with the Booster and PK-13-14 soon and just use A/B with a table that a friend has given me called ATAMI (Atami Grow Products - Global Site) which are to be used with EITHER A/B and tablet OR booster and tablet (without A/B)

My questions are two-fold; What do you think is going on? What do you think of the tablet idea?


Thanks guys and girls!

As ever, yours.

what are you growing in? coco i think, what do you adjust you PH to? I had issues like that when my grow medium wasn't at the right PH,

Mine are doing something similar but not yellowing first...fan leaves just seem to fall off for no good reason.

I'm not worried about it because the plants are quite healthy looking and continue to bud well and they are fan leaves from the underside, probably just not getting any light.
