Plant yellowing from bottom up?

[Glennorlan]

Hey friends. So It seems as though some foliage towards the bottom of my plant had turned yellow, died and fallen off and now the fan leaves closest to the bottom are turning yellow? Did the old beginning growth just die off or do j have some sort of deficiency? The color of the bottom most leaves has definitely turned a yellower shade.

are you giving nutrients?? what is the ph of your water?? Looks like a soil grow, I would suggest a good flush of ph adjusted water (guessing about the 6.5 range),, and then go back to regular nutrient schedule...also check ph of run off....

Test PH, if in the 6.0-6.8 range you're ok, and it's most likely a deficiency, and you just need to feed nutrients.

If PH is above or below that ranger, correct PH, and watch plant closely for a day or two. If yellowing continues, then feed nutrients.

Check the roots. I think your roots are at the bottom of the bucket. That baby looks root bound.

a transplant may be in order
how long has it been growing and what size pot you using,looks half full
it may be a nitrogen call, they eat up the nutes once they really start going,your medium may be lacking
what lighting do you use?
i have to admit i always lose a few leaves at the bottom
i always thought my light (cfl grower) wasn't getting down there cause all the rest of the patient looked fine
maybe i will learn something here as well
take care and good luck

I didn't even notice until you said that. You are correct, there are other issues also, good catch.

It's an outdoor grow, and it's been maybe a month in that pot. I bought some high nitrogen potting soil and I'm going to transplant it into a larger pot because I can see roots through the bottom holes. Thanks for your help guys. I think the ph is around 6.5, I just fed it nutes so il post what happens. Thanks!

If the yellowing stops, it's because of being root bound. If it continues to yellow, even one more leaf then look elsewhere for the solution.

i bet after it gets used to the new home you get a spurt of growth
man that is 1 month? well dude you are doing something right
nice rate of growth
looking forward to your update

 

[Glennorlan]

Well actually it's about 7 weeks the first 3 were in a smaller container for the seedling. Thanks for all your help dudes il update soon

Hey doooods so I transplanted my girl into a larger pot and when I was doing so I could see that the majority of the roots were in fact at the bottom of the pot so I put them in a soil with a high nitrogen content and fed her like crazy with grow big and big bloom and she seems to be doing very well now. The yellow leaves at the bottom are turning much greener and there is a substantial amount of new growth too!

Thanks again for all your help guys much appreciated !

Very good news! Now keep a close watch, the first sign of any problems, ask for help if you need it! Don't wait until it gets too advanced, the sooner you fix a problem, the less stress for the plant. Less stress = happy plant.

Happy plant = happy you
