Flower Stage with yellowing leaves


Am about 3 weeks into flowering stage and buds are looking great but some leaves are turning yellow….
Am using ILGM flowering fert twice a week and plants require water once a day in the greenhouse…
Am hoping the plants are just using all their will to produce killer buds…
Seeds are Purple Haze….

Thx in advance…… Tim

The bud development look further along than 3 weeks Growmie. What PPM are you feeding at? Leaves tend to fade in the latter stages of flower particularly the lower ones :love_you_gesture:

Well u certainly can be right about the 3 weeks…. This is my 1st attempt to grow in 40+ years……

Am feeding the ILGM Flower Time fert at 1 tsp per gallon which feeds 2 plants…

Thx for the quick response !!!

Right on Grow Bro and you’re doing very well! I’m not familiar with the nutrient line but make sure you’re feeding nitrogen if the flower time doesn’t have that :love_you_gesture:

I had one do the same thing recently, in its 5th week of flower. They started yellowing up and down. Not just the bottom and i was concerned. It’s turning out fine though. It just needed more food to keep it going. Remember, its focusing on making flowers now and not leaves. Its normal… feed a higher PPM. Its just letting you know its hungry.

Yep… using nitrogen but obviously not enough…. Thx for the reply…

Thx Marty……
More food seems to be the answer to green her up…. Will try feeding them every other day and see what happens…. Thx for your reply….

I wasn’t feeding mine enough now that i look back in retrospect. I was burning plants up with Miracle-Gro just last year so, when i started growing cannabis this year, i was in shell shock and afraid of giving large amounts of fertilizers. What happened was at the onset of flower i wasn’t increasing any nutrients. The plant started cannibalizing itself at a higher rate. Now, im able to see where i can tweak the nutrients for my next grow. Its okay to paint their fingernails and get a little nutrient burn at the tips of the leaves right at onset of flowering to boost them into its next growth phase when increasing the DLI…
