Day 65, 6 days into flowering. I've noticed bottom leaf's slightly turning yellow a few days back and when i checked them today, 2 leaf's from my 5th plant were just laying severed on the soil and 2 leaf's i pulled without much of any resistance from plant #3. #3 still has a couple yellow leaf's on there.
I'm not entirely sure as to what is the cause, they have plenty of nutes (both from MG soil and from nute feeding when ppm was/is low) and the pH is correct (6.3-6.5 for all plants - runoff measured)
Nute value for plant #3 was 1334 2 days ago and on day 59 it was 1351ppm. im clueless at this point haha. They were just fed the nute mixed water 2 days ago so next watering is just plain water. I added big bloom (FF) for the first time 2 day's ago at half dosage mixed with grow big at half dose + calmag.
Perhaps the plants were just too low on the nitrogen from MG soil? I havent really fed nutes hardly at all up to this point, maybe 3 times total. I've been mainly keeping an eye on the ppm from MG soil which for a good while was in the 2000-3000 zone, now i have it at a safer 1000-2000.
The water going in is usually at 7.0, sometimes 7.1 for the MG soil since it buffer's down to the 6.3-6.6 zone. For plant #5 however i feed it 6.0-6.3 PH water and it comes out 6.5'ish, it has a different soil so it buffer's the exact opposite (Planet natural soil).
Tips? Suggestions?
Below: Plant #3's leafs. I pulled these with very little resistance.
Below: Plant #5's leafs. These 2 were just laying on the soil already severed. likely from moving it around.
Below: Plant #3 from side views (i already pulled those leaf's off, this is whats still on there currently)
And these ones just for show (day 63 pics)
EDIT: Here is some more info for those who care to know and to help fill in more info. I'll only post plant #3's numbers to avoid all the extra numbers everywhere. The reason for 2 sets of numbers or more in the same day is because i kept watering to kinda flush out the extra nutes from MG soil. Also to fix pH to where i wanted it. I only started watching pH runoff around day 40 or so.
Day 51:
Ph=6.05/6.25
ppm=2400/736
Day 55:
Ph=6.43
ppm=901
Day 59 (Flowering schedule started)
ph=6.5/6.5/6.4
ppm= 1125/1062/1351 (fed FF veg nutes ppm of 992)
Day 63:
Ph=7.4/6.59 (forgot to pH its water so i watered it again to correct)
ppm=1171/1334 (fed FF half veg nutes half bloom nutes)
When i say half veg/half bloom, i mean its general dosage listed on the bottle but halved so instead of 3 tsp bloom, i did 1 and 1/2 into 1 gal water. Hopefully this cover's mostly everything. I know its normal to lose some very bottom leafs and the only real worry should be if the top leaf's and new growth are yellowing. Unfortunately i dont get any new growth now that flowering has started so this is all new territory for me (still on my first grow :3 )
You can actually notice the day 63 pics i posted, the yellow leaf on plant #3 (the plant thats next to humidifier) was much more green and started turning yellow much quicker after the watering (Compare picture 6 vs 7 same leaf thats green then yellow 2 days later after watering). The nutes i used (Fox farms bottle #1 and #3), 1 is 0 - 0.5 - 0.7 and other is 2 - 8 - 4 (tiger bloom) so it didnt have much nitro in it (and i halved the general dosage at that), perhaps this is a nitro deficiency that im being hit with for the first time? Maybe that MG soil ran out. Thoughts?
