Does this look like the nutes were too heavy? I may have over did it. Just 2 plants, same strain (I think)
Please take a look, I’m a little worried

What is your runoff PPM?

I have no idea…I haven’t even been testing the ppm of run off. Didn’t know.

Hello , this is one of my a few times of growing marijuana but I would like to get a little bit of feedback on how good my special queen one looks. She’s at 6 weeks old from seed. And I plan on vegeting her for about another four or five weeks. I have noticed some yelling at the bottom leaves but really can’t figure out what it is my ph. Is fine

It will be the most reliable gauge of whether you are overfeeding or not. Leaf characteristics can help, but PPM is the best measure.

It is normal. They will eventually yellow completely and fall off. It’s not an issue so long as it is limited to the lower leaves.
Your plant looks good. Welcome to the forum.

I have two LED trilights that are two hundred watts of piece. Hanging 18 inches avove plants. Grow space is 3x3. I did overwater but let dry almost completely till i watered to runoff.

Thanks bro, I’m new, I hade a feeling I should have been doing something with the runoff besides feed the flowers in front yard 
So where’s the sweet spot with nutes for mid flower auto do you think?

Runoff?
Sorry, I get it. Need to test runoff and figure it out

Thats a question i dont think anyone could answer but foxfarm bloom
You’re runoff, just gonna be the amount of water that drains out the bottom of your pot. And you want about 20% of water to be caught in your drainage after you water your plant so I don’t know if you figure out how much water to give your plant yet but by doing the 20% run off. You’re ensuring that your plants getting plenty of water and you’re ensuring that your drainage is good. So that way it doesn’t. Accumulate and the water doesn’t sit there
Run-off from soil, analyzed for PH and PPM gets compared to feed numbers.
White flowers, good. Necrotic bleaching leaves, not good. Visually resembles “nutrient lock-out”. I have one strain with perfect color and a second strain, looking similar to yours, before all large fan leaves have dropped off.
Soil mix should have been the same, for all.
So, I did a flush, on my best and then on the “sick”.
Input flush was PH-6.5 and PPM-800.
Happy was PH below 7 (6.7) and Unhappy was above 7 (7.4).
Either strain specific or PH, because PPMs were above 2800, in the beginning.
Forum reading found this somewhere.
PH measured with Apera 20/60.
I’m doing coco…numbers will be different I suppose.

Would you guys suggest a flush?

With coco-coir, if you’re feeding daily at 5.8ph and get plenty of runoff you should never have to worry about runoff numbers.
It’s one of the benefits of coco-coir.
Now sometimes things go wrong and reading runoff can help correct issues.
With coco-coir, you’re runoff should always be really close to what it goes in as.
A little up or down is normal but if ph or ppm is drastically different then somethings going on.
Being coco-coir, I’d say a flush with some 5.8ph followed by a nice fresh feeding to reset everything would not hurt at all.

Exactly what @1HappyPappy said! With coco you should be watering daily, do not let coco dry.
You should be doing small micro flushes daily and testing runoff ppm, your input and runoff should be around the 800-900ppm range.
Coco and soil are not the same and if treated the same, results will be less then desired.
