I've got Yellowing leaves, please advise.

Drunature · Sep 19, 2025

I am probably about 3-4 weeks into flower.

I am feeding Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Bloom forumula at half strength every water, 10ml per gal
botanicare Cal-Mag 3ml/gal every other water
some bloom city silica boost every other week, stopped now.
and Fox Farms water soluable trio, was using open sesame once a week for 3 weeks, now going to start beastie blooms, they are super powerful and I have burned my plants before with them so I am just adding a very small amount.

i also do a foliar spray with kelp, fresh aloe and some snow storm ultra every week

I am in 7 gal pots that started as Bhang 420 soil and perlite, I am watering about 3 gals every other day or so as the bottom dries out, I am in high heat in Cali valley, multiple days of 100 or 90s in a row. But I hit a week of overcast in the high 70s and they got a lil overwatered for a couple weeks I think.

using tap water that is about 8-9ph and no ph dowm so far this year.

Thoughts, any advice>?

I am new to.growing myself but looks to me that that is just lower leaves turning yellow? If so defoliate and see if that don't help she is eating up the lower leaves to conserve energy for bud growth up top.

Hello friend,
She does look to be starting to yellow in the bottom and honestly it's a bit early to be seeing any yellowing of leaves, my concern would be the ph so high, I would allow her to dry decently and then id hit her with water ph,Ed to around 6-7 range only.Sometimes a girl will start rejecting nutes if all of your medium is to high or low pH wise, keeping your water at between 6-7 will keep her happy and allow her to uptake the nutes your feeding her my friend.Other than that she looks healthy, I would say do that and she will adjust fine.here in a week to two her trich production should crank and a week after she will be swelling up for you.
Keep her happy,stable,comfortable and fed and she will do the rest!.
Happy growing to you my friend!, sincerely, kyfarmerb1984

Yellow leaves are natural when plants are going to the bud phase with out synthetic steroids the plants use the nutrients from the leaves look plants natural with a perfect pH an an ec

Hey, thank you very much! So correction, the water from my tap is apparently now almost exactly 6.5 ph, so I just hit it with a clean drink, it had been many months since I tested it. So would this mean I should perhaps ph up the mix when I am adding my ferts? Do I need a $15 ph meter? with the ph test drops Its hard to read the colors once I've mixed in nutes or have collected run off.

yeah for sure, I have been reading that if they are yellowing in the first half of flower instead of right at the end of flower then you've gone a lil awry.
But It's only my 3rd year growing and I am still learning to understand and react to my plant babies! Thank you.
Those photos remind me of last year, I had this 9ft+ tall monster that I had to tie down so the entire neighborhood didn't see it! this year I learned how to crop and LST, but my first crop died and this one was a late start on June 1st.

This might help...I have to look this up three times a year (and also what was mentioned above already) lot to take in but overall theyre still healthy. Compared to my plants anyways... :D And seeing that they're early in flower it's natural that the most used nutreints right now are of the flowering type. FEED HER>
