Hey all,
Hopefully I've posted this in the right place (please let me know if there's a better section!)- I'm new to the site and first year growing. First, a little about my set-up. Its an outdoor grow in a 7G rhizopot with promix HP, perlite, sea compost, dolomite lime and bat guano. The veg stage went pretty well (as far as I can tell), but now that I'm in the flowering stage (about 4 weeks in), my flowering appears to be way behind schedule (at least a couple weeks) and I'm starting to get an increase in yellow leaves that are slowly dying off. The yellow leaves are mostly at the bottom of the plant, but there are a handful of interior fan leaves that are turning now as well. Like a said, I'm new to this, but I've tried to do my homework here. These phenotypes suggest an issue with a mobile nutrient and the color changes suggest either N or MG deficiency. However, as you'll see in the attached pictures, I'm getting yellow venation in the leaves, which is inconsistent with examples of these deficiencies that I've seen. I picked up a pH meter this morning and i'm sitting right below 7, so I don't think its lockout. I'm in SW Ontario and we've been in the midst of a heatwave (80+ F every day for a couple weeks now) and crazy humid, so maybe what I'm seeing is just an artifact of that. I'm also seeing lots of purple stems (which some say can be due to genetics, it's purple kush after all...). I know that yellow leaves are common (and even a good thing) late in flowering, but since my plant appears to be behind, I'm concerned that this isn't just normal senescence. Thanks for any advice!
