yellow fan leaves

[skankmaster]

Hi ya growers.

Every time i grow i am either not noticing or too stoned to notice about fan leaves: Once you turn to 12/12 should you start losing fan leaves near the bottom and around the middle of the plant? By losing i mean going yellow and dying off- not too many but enough to get paraniod about.

Anybody who takes notice of these things may be able to help.

thanks

Yeah, when you go to 12/12 there is less light available to the plants and they also start draining the leaves of stored nutrients, this condition is more obvious in Sativa dominants.

Yeah, its a common occurance.....its when the leaves at the top of the plant start to go yellow you have a problem.

Thanks for that, i guess i have always been too stoned to really take notice.

I've got two plants about 10 cm tall and the bottom leaves are turning yellow and dying. They are under two 2 foot flouro tubes so could they be absorbing nutrients from their leaves because there is not enough light ? Also the very tips of the leaves have turned brown.

Sounds like they want some 1/3 strength nutrients.

 

Also the very tips of the leaves have turned brown.

 

Did you just give them some full strength nutrients?
