I have plants that show hi nitrogen, leaves that turn yellow and even black st the tips.

I've flushed them, i am using a low nitrogen flowering nutes + 0-13-0 bat guano combined

I distell water for 36hrs, using 33% coco, 33 soil, 33% perlite mix in cloth 1 gal pots

I am a newcomer, first real big grow. But the top of the plants are healthy and keep growing well. The lower end or more interior leafs are the ones wilting away with the yellow tints n even some black tips.

Could my suburb water from a big city be my issue?? A buddy whose close by is on well water n his are much better. He doesn't even measure ph

I keep mine 5.8-6.1. I was going to buy good quality 1 gal jugs n only use those for a week. The plants have been this way for 60 days plus. I am flowering now, day 25. About 30 inches in height.

Will post pics when home.

From the pictures I believe your Ph is to low.. Try 6.3 and feed your plants some nitrogen during flower..

If your waters bad, suggest installing an RO system.

Anyone think I should try bottled water for 3-5 days and see what's up?

Or that's just a waste...

Mind you I've went to Italy for 8 days and had two babysitters on em. One, my buddy who has his own ladies took the liberty of de leafing a lot cuz I'm at day 26 of flowering n said it was for ten better.

Despite I wanted to break his legs I had to thank him for watching my 4

Tbh they're probably over-watered because you decided to mix soil and coco. Next time I'd choose one or the other.

But yes, my city water sucks ass (700-800ppm) so I got an RO system.

I have got advice on over watered, some under watered as well just because it's a decent size plant for a 1 gal pot.

Then on nitrogen, some say too much....others not enough

I watered on have been watering eod, 20 oz per plant. Stab in holes for drainage on top, bottom and on the sides of the pots all the way down.

Doesn't do shit for drainage??

If your medium.is too compact, it may not allow.for proper drainage. You could put some rocks under the pots to raise them.off the drip tray. This may help the water drain out the bottom. If the plant is light, then water it. If it's somewhat heavy, don't water it. Your leaves are pointing down severely. We've mentioned it many many times, unless I'm confused with another thread, your over watering your plants. And yes, see those dark add fan leaves, back the nitrogen off. It's not needed as much in flower as i n veg.

Are you lifting each pot before daily watering and determining they are absent of water? Is the bottom of the pots wet all the time? Overwatering takes time and patience to see improvement once corrected. I might start more plants, but keep working with these. Valuable lesson learning to fix issues!

I Finger all the ladies good before any water. I lift and feel the bottoms too.

You can see water wetting the sides if the cloth pots 3/4 down when you do water them.

Unless I give them 20oz ed I don't see much drainage at all. But that's soaking them well so I don't water that much that often. Mostly 10-14 oz ed.

I stabbed holes on the top and botttoms to help the water move threw the medium.

Idk. My buddy who grows on a larger scale just distells and waters. No ph.

He tells me to water them. Idk.

I'm just trying to get something from this harvest.

Horrible case of Nitrogen Toxicity. Somewhere along the route they've gotten a giant dose of nitrogen or several. You need to get flushing bro!
