Hi. I have some yellowing going on and hoped maybe someone could offer some info to correct the problem. It is not on all the plants- just two of them.
Could you give us some more info and take a pic under natural light please barbie Its easier to tell what wrong when we can see the real shade of green.
What medium is the plant in and what are you feeding her too, the more info you can provide the better

yes, of course!! Im growing in soil. I started them outside and moved them into a grow room. They are under an Led light. I overfed them flora nova and had to flush them as all the leaves became dark green and looked dry. I have been using ph balanced water at 6.5. I gave them very small amount of tomato tone less than half the recommended dose, (as not to wind up in the same place), about a week ago. Now this yellowing is happening. I don't want to flush if its not a deficiency.
Nitrogen is easily dissolved in water and flushed out. So if you have flushed them recently you could have flushed out a lot of the nitrogen in the soil. Which will also give you yellow leaves at the bottom of the plant like this. pH is fine, just give a little more grow nuits and see how she picks up from there

@barbiemac are you still in the veg stage? If so it may be that the nitrogen is too low....that would cause the yellowing for sure. The floranova grow is what I would recommend using until your starting to bud if your plant is still in the veg stage. You could use full strength of that it's pretty gentle stuff. I believe 2.5ml/L....its what I'm using on my plants this year outback and....well they're going great! I'm now budding so I've switched to bloom. The nice part is my water is a ph of 7.9 and when mixed it balanced to 6.6 ph!
So if you can....I would try and get some floranova grow until you switch to bloom. Or a fish fertilizer that's high in nitrogen like a 5-1-1. That'll help you get on the right track with those leaves. Any leaves that are more than 50% damaged or curled up....trim them off and monitor the condition of the leaves after you feed the plant with that (floranova grow or fish fertilizer). Keep us updated!
@colacody Hey, thanks for the responses. I was also thinking nitrogen deficiency but since Ive already experienced nute burn I have been hesitant to fertilize too much. Im glad you brought up the fish fertilizer... I used that once and the smell worried me; will it affect the taste of the bud? Because I was unsure about that stuff, I did pick up some of the flora grow.
@barbiemac the fish fert wont affect the taste no. And you'll be using bloom for the last 8 to 16 weeks depending on what you grow lol. Sativa takes longer vs more indica dominant strains....so lots to learn but your in the right place!
I would do a floranova grow for now since you already have it....and flip the lights yes! Then once the flowers start to form start using the bloom again and start at a low dose.....I belive 1.25ml/L and see how they react. I also do 2 light feeds a week and ph water in between. So feed water feed water etc....breaking up the nutes going in as to give the plant time to eat it and not end up with an excess issue. I hope this helps and dont be afraid to ask ANY questions....i know it can be nerve racking to do the wrong thing.....but they are weeds and trust me lol.....itll live lolol.
@colacody Thank you for the input.. since Im new to this, I have another question. Is this a rooster in my henhouse? Im adding two pics... please lmk ASAp
I am a very new grower. It all started with a friend who started growing last year who sent me some of his harvest. I started saving the seeds and decided, what the heck.... Once they sprouted and I had them on my porch it dawned on me that I couldn't have them on my back patio. Before I knew it, I had a grow room set up and I started what I thought would be an easy project. I've over-watered, under-watered and over-fertilized. That's when I found ya'll. i'm Grateful for the input and all the good information.
My plants are currently 90 days old. I am thinking its time to switch the light cycle from 18/6 to 12/12. Now I'm afraid they'll outgrow my tent!
Yer Barbie, if you look closely you can see white pistils showing on preflowers. The one on the bottom isn’t in focus enough to be sure. 1 out of 5 isn’t very good odds but like you said, it’s better than nothing.
