No need for concern on the bottom leaves, they yellow and get variegation a lot. Leaves that touch media will yellow too. May be time to up their feed a bit….

I was wondering if I need to up there feed maybe another tablespoon. I had half a gallon overflow which was another concern. Never had that in my first gow.

Gonna keep a better eye on watering. May be overwatering. From what i have been researching as well.

Teaspoons not tablespoons

Yeah thats because i read the bottle like a idiot. So in two weeks i will go to this feeding of 3 teaspoons then. Thanks for setting that straight. I was told to go by the bottle. But thats not right i guess.

The fox farmsntrionis made tonuse all together. But ehat i have noticed is to do it at 1/4 dose. Or even 1/2 dose

I run half strength or less. Then it is half strength big bloom half strength tiger bloom and quarter strength grow big up to light flip. If I want to up the strength I add more big bloom and tiger bloom no grow big.
After that it’s hard to say how much of which I give because it changes all the time. Not much grow big though. I have a gallon jug of grow big
That has lasted through 3 gallons of big bloom and tiger bloom and that jug is still a quarter full.

I would check your ph as mentioned above and also allow the soil to dry out and reset your watering schedule. It is very easy to overwater in soil.

It wants food so give it half strength liquid fertilizer a couple of times a week for a few weeks and see how it responds.

If you get more yellow leaves during that time, check the pH of the fertilizer solution after it has been made up. You want the liquid to have a pH between 6.0 & 7.0 so the plant can utilize the nutrients.

If the pH is good and you still get yellow leaves, increase the amount of fertilizer you use.

Based on age, size of pot and soil used, I think you are overwatering and overfeeding. The yellowing is one of the first signs of overwatering. I was guilty of this exact thing recently.


I did not think I was but did. I let her dry out completely and she will get her first drink tonight after 6 days of nothing. She is showing thirst droop finally and looking better after drying out.
