I have seven gallon pots for the next go around.I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that you are growing organically. Then I'm going directly to: your pots are too small .

The plants change their priorities when they enter the reproductive stage. They slow or stop vegetative growth. The new priority is flowering, so nutrient movement changes. This includes moving mobile nutrients from the leaves, which is why the leaves become yellow. Feeding the plant bloom nutrients before changing the lights can slow that process. Magnesium is also important because it is the central atom in the chlorophyll molecule. So, I add it directly to the soil by top dressing Epsom Salt. I also water it in at one tablespoon per gallon of water. It can be foliar fed, as well, but I don't do that unless there is a severe deficiency. So far, I haven't had a problem with excess magnesium or sulfur (that are elements in Epsom Salt).Hello everyone. I started flowering my girls a couple of weeks ago and to my surprise all five turned out female! They were looking like this,
To looking like this two weeks in,
The leaves are drooping and starting to lose their color. I have been attempting to get a successful harvest for almost two years now and when I get them to this stage they always start to slowly go from thriving to dying. Might by chance any more experienced growers know what’s wrong here? Thanks in advance folks,
Cheers.
There is no set answer for amount of water. Measure your water and see how long it takes the plant to dry out. Then adjust up or down based on your preferences. Also, when I think there is stuff happening in the roots, I water the outer ring of the pot. That helps dry it our faster and forces the plant to reach for the water.How much water every 2 days though?
My last grow, would take 1/4 gallon of water per plant every other day consistently. If I was watering 1/2 a gallon then it would take more days between watering.
Are you following the nutrient feed chart on the bottle? If so it's probably to much.
What changes do you make when you flip to flower? Increased nutes or something?
You said this always happens after flip so maybe it's a change your making everytime that's effecting the outcome.
I would check out the General Hydroponics Flora Series nutrients, pretty easy to use but follow the feed chart at 1/2 strength.
What Gaia Green nutrients do you use?I tried those Fox Farm nutrients and didn't like them. I switched to Gaia Green and haven't looked back.
Just the General Purpose and the Power Bloom. I also add other ingredients. These only provide NPK.What Gaia Green nutrients do you use?
Sounds good. There are many folks here who use Gaia Green, so there's plenty of advice available. Somewhere on here there's a 4-week feeding schedule for using it. It has been helpful to me. I still generally follow it. I also have revised copy in my notes somewhere.I've been highly considering trying them based on the post I've seen you make. I have 6 seedlings going right now so it's the perfect time to try something new.
I have three tents. I grow five full-size plants at a time. I currently have 3 (from seed) flowering and 2 (clones) vegging.How many plants do you usually grow and how long does a pale last you?
I haven't seen it locally, so I buy it from Amazon. I bought the buckets a few times and then decided to get the 10 kg bags. I'm not sure I'll live long enough to use it all, but it's cheaper by the bag.I can get it locally at about $30-$35 for 2kg size pale.
Hey man, I’ve ran into these same issues with the FF soil and trio. Are you using all 3 bottles together like the schedule suggests? Cause I wasn’t and my plants weren’t getting enough nutes for the flower cycle. The schedule suggests 15ml Big Bloom , 10ml Grow Big, and 5ml of Tiger Bloom up to 2 times a week. I was only doing this once. You can get away with it on some strains but definitely not all in my limited experience lol. Maybe this will help cuzDoes anyone have any other ideas because the watering schedule is on point. I just don’t want to lose yet another crop. I’ve been growing these for almost three months now. I always seem to get them this far and they start dying. I just don’t know what to do. Anyone?
Look like there very thirsty, and nitrogen starved.heavy water those lady's if the soil is dry,check the runoff for low nute uptakeSome of the more expierenced will prob help you out soon but to help them better understand your problem some more details wouldnt be to bad.
Medium,Watering,Lights,Nutrients and whatnot
5 is way more than adequate. Its not the size of your pots.I have seven gallon pots for the next go around.
YupMaybe over watered
It would be interesting to see a vid or photoCouple people on here grow bangers with them. Ive never liked them tho. Liquid sludge
That's happening to me right now with ProMix HP, which also has its own buffer, but if I add dolomite in the beginning, the PH spikes early on.my experience with fox farm...Buffer runs out round week 4 bloom... pH starts drifting plants get pist. Everything you just don't want... exactly when you need it the least. Gotta love it.

I've diagnosed that it's the size of pot / amount of soil, not the soil itself. I've grown in Fox Farm, small plants (3 week veg in final 7 gallon) and had no issues.
Same plants, same 3 week veg in final pot, but in 5 gallon, PH drift, simultaneous deficiencies and toxicities.
Same scenerio in 3 gallon pots and it's a disaster.
I only use their cal mag because it’s OMRI rated, and I’ll use the microbe brew and it’s nice to use the trio for the mothers but that’s in addaition to the Gaia greenI believe @Mikedin said he uses them. I think.
My badI only use their cal mag because it’s OMRI rated, and I’ll use the microbe brew and it’s nice to use the trio for the mothers but that’s in addaition to the Gaia green
In my plants I plan to flower only the cal mag is used
I’m only using the trio at about 1/3 recommended rate for the small mothers though
