So I have started seeing this brown tips and yellowing I’m on day 39 of flower living soil 15 gal pot coots mix, I have top dresses some kelp meal, gypsum, and neem and Karanja about two weeks ago but I feel like the girl is still hungry.
Thank you for any help
Leaves are going to yellow and die off in flower: it’s just the life cycle of the plant.

Don’t feel silly @Funny718 . This is why we have the forum!! Takes a long time to see, remember and identify on sight all of the issues, deficiencies and methods there are to growing. This is why a bunch of folks here like growing more that even using the product.

Thanks @Reticence so was under the impression it was like a Potassium Deficiency as I was looking at a deficiency chart, then I went to the grow store and buddy was said it was cal mag and I needed to feed my plant with synthetic nutrition. So it’s not unusual for leaves to start dying off half way through flowering? When should I be concerned that the plant will have food to survive.

Yes some leaves will yellow and more at the end of flower so very normal. That is not to say you can’t get a cal/mag issue still. Just need to watch for it.
Here is a good pic of calcium deficiency: 
I feed the plants the entire grow. I don’t subscribe to cutting nutrients before harvest. I use Jacks primarily and General Hydroponics. Chemistry is chemistry. Organic vs. synthetic nitrogen is chemically the same. I think some like organic because they know for sure what is in their mix that way.

I’ve always joked students when I teach that all questions are stupid but ask them anyway. And answer if you think you know the answer. If your wrong someone will kindly correct you and then other people might also have been thinking the wrong thing and we all learn the correct answer. This forum is great for all the help everyone is willing to offer. I have never encountered anyone offensive or even condescending. Too bad the whole world can’t be like this. But one stoner at a time.

I’ve only been on a couple of grow forums but have to say that we hear ILGM is the friendliest and welcoming one of the bunch. And we see 40K plus visitors a month so…
