First time grower. Fed FF Nutes last night and leaves are looking bad. How do I upload a picture on here?
I changed over from the ILGM Nute packet I got with my beginner kit to the FF nutes. First watering - added cal/mag and full dose as per the FF chart. Saw yeoolow tips on a lot of my 3 plants but thought it would be ok after reading some topics in here.
Second watering - One plant had yellow leaves this morning and now they look real bad. Any help would be appreciated.

I am currently 3 weeks into flower - 9 weeks total

It looks like she is trying to show fall colors. Welcome to the community! Do you know what the runoff ppm’s and pH are by chance? Older fan leaves will start to die off naturally as the plant matures.

PH in soil is 6.8. I do not have a meter to measure PPM run off. It was totally fine until I switched to FF Nutes. The other plants are doing well. Should I flush it and start over? Or add something to the water and try again?

BTW Thank you for the welcome. I’ve read through a ton of post about yellow flowers and it’s stressing when it happens to you. Should I cut them off and see if she has anymore issues going forward?

FF nutes are pretty strong. Going in at 1/2 - 3/4 strength for the first time is usually a good idea. Probably just a little loaded. Try dialing back to 3/4 strength next feed. Also a not a bad idea to get a TDS meter. They’re pretty cheap on amazon

Thank you. Nice to be here

Thank you. I went all out from the advice I found on here to grow massive buds. I’ve never grown anything hence the name - Gasoline Thumb. I am determined to keep growing until I get it right.

@GasolineThumb practice makes perfect growmie :joy:

Agree with @Borderryan22 on the FF nutrients. The TDS meter is a critical piece of gear for checking nutrients in the root zone from the run off and mixing a new batch. Soil medium and cannabis likes a wet to dry cycle alternating feed and watering days, each to liberal run off will help keep a healthy root zone and salts from accumulating in the root zone crashing the PH and potentially locking out nutrient absorption :love_you_gesture:

Thank you for the heads up. My TDS meter is coming today. Last night I gave them Ph 6.5 straight water out of caution - they were very dry. Next feeding will most likely be on Sunday and I will use 1/2 strength FF Big Bloom & Tiger Bloom and eliminate Grow Big & Cal/Mag. I will test out the runoff. I think I am about 3 - 4 weeks from harvest, and I don’t want to do anything drastic to shock them.

Good idea on straight watering, did you save a sample of the run off for testing before feeding upcoming nutrients? :love_you_gesture:

I didn’t even think about doing that…live & learn!
