8 weeks out of ground. PPM’s slightly above 1400, no nutes, straight Happy Frog. 1: should I be concerned about the fans yellowing? 2: would it be okay to trim these leaves? 3: does the yellowing on the very tips of leaves at flowers mean anything? First time grower so I don’t know squat. Autoflower and pretty sure it’s Wedding Cake. Thanks for this wonderful forum and the great people here.
Cheers

How do you prepare your water?
What type of water are you using?
Are you using any additives or nutrients?
Are you watering to run off?
Are you checking your PPM and pH from that runoff?
I see you have a PPM 1400 this means you’re one to two more waterings before you need to start adding nutrients

Thank you
Using tap water that sits a day in an open container (read that de-chlorinates) then add natural lemon juice to reduce pH to 6. No nutes as of yet, just Happy Frog soil. Checking TDS after about 10% run-off.

I would start adding about 125 ppms of calcium magnesium per gallon of water every time you water her. (This will help you’re yellowing)
I would also do my best to pH to 6.5
How many ppms are your tap water?

Typically signifies max uptake. Edge of too much. I ride there and maybe farther at times
P/K will be sucked right out of all the leaves since in flower. Hungry.
Just what shoots out at me.

That’s a pretty good looking plant man 
With 1400ppm runoff still I’d imagine there ought not be any fade yet really so makes me kinda think the nutrients are in there but just maybe ph could be dropping in the soil and making some nutrients not so available 
In soil at 6.0ph Calcium and Phosphorus are not going to be very available even if it’s in the soil.
6.5ph is kinda the sweet spot for soil.

Good catch Pappy. That will definitley do it.

Tap water here fluctuates between 7 and 7.2. I can achieve 6.5 easily, thank you. As far as adding nutes, I purchased Bergman’s plant food. Would stage 3 booster or flowertime suffice, even though it’s npk?
Thanks
Edge of too much water?

Thanks and thanks. Really looking to have some fatties. Next watering will be 6.5 for sure. What’s your thoughts on some addition (maybe 25%) of either Bergman’s flowertime or booster, since that’s what I already have.

My assumption as well

Nutrients. If the ph is not allowing calcium or p/k uptake right now the leeching from the leaves makes perfect sense.
Get ph lined out and yes that is where you are.

10-4. I’ll straighten out my pH going in and check the overflow next watering. Thanks bro!

I’m unfamiliar with ilgm nutrients but if it’s an organic nutrients and thus would take a couple weeks then couldn’t hurt I imagine.
But if it’s a readily available “salt” nutrients then I’d wait till runoff was under 1000.
But honestly my freind im not much of a soil guy and even less of a organic nutrient guy 
I grow mostly in coco-coir with synthetic nutrients.
I do grow some in soil but i use the same synthetic nutrients mostly.

Overlooked this. The ppm’s of my tap water is approximate 083.
Thanks
Do you have some type of water filtration system? 83ppm is almost unheard of in tap water

Saved that pic. Thanks. Do you happen to have one that shows the macro micro nute uptake by week? Understand it may fluctuate and change.
@Ol-Smokie you plants look good. I think it’s starting to get hungry. I’ve had plants eat themselves.

Hunger plant as @Flatnut saying your plant is feeding from itself all it needs is food in my opinion @Ol-Smokie my friend happy growing

I’ll have to check again, I was hurried. It usually is around 060 when I check my Zero Water for drinking water. So no on the filtration for anything other than drinking water.
Thank you

Yikes! Don’t need cannibalism! Next watering will have 6.5ph and about 25% (to start with) Bergman flower time.
Thanks dude!
