Update Day 34/24
i got home today to find that my ladies have developed some light green blotching over all the autos as well as some brown leaves developing literally in hours.
I have just started feeding them a light mixture of tomorite an tap water left to distill and fed them yesterday afternoon and noticed some light yellowing towards the evening but nothing much as it was on the lowest fan leaf and the shoot leaves are just dying off as well. After giving them a light spray 6 hours ago, with a 4 hour nap as well, i got home from work to see them looking like this.
My Rhino is bending over like a princess although i've not noticed any yellow patches or browning like the autos, the bottom fan leaves have literally withered away. if someone can give me an idea of whats going on that would be wicked?
I'm just about to flush them all with some distilled water and see if it makes anything better...

someone please help or advise me if you can? i know im not helping myself out either but im currently waiting on my digi ph tester :/ i have noticed on the auto's, that the roots are starting to come near the surface, could this possibly be something to do with it?

Hey dude,

Couple of quick pointers, If in desperate need of some advice your best bet is always to look in the medical bay for similar issue's and if you can't find them, start a new thread in there, someone will jump in a help a lot sooner. Secondly, do your flush before trying anything else, if in doubt, flush it out.

If multiple leaves are yellowing all at the same time then there is more than likely a ph issue causing a lock out, nitrogen would be the first assumption, this would first be helped by flushing your plant, however, if it's just the ones on the lower branches, and to me that's what it looks like, then you've really got nothing to worry about. They can die off because of agge or purely that they aren't getting enough sunlight so the plant decides to disgard it and focus its efforts elsewhere. Looking at your plants I would say they are about the right age/height for them to just be yellowing naturally.

Also, when you say 'lightly sprayed them', what did you spray them with?? And and what point of their day did you spray them after lights on, mid-day, or before lights off??
The plant in the 5th picture, is that the one you've saids fallen over or is that LST'd??

:smokebuds:

Thanks Rival, future I will act like Capt Kirk and head to the medical bay!
I had just sprayed the soil with a bloom mix, 10ml tomorite to 2 litre's distilled water, at around midday 4hours before their bedtime, and came home a further 4 hours after that but ive gone head and flushed them all just to be safe.
It just happened so quickly it took me by suprise, there's some at the bottom that are wilting off but not as much as when i left for work that morning lol
And the plant in the 5th picture is the LST'n Rhino, does all look alright with her? trying to get the head back up a bit lol, thanks again Rival

Update Day 35/25
After flushing last night, the girls dont seem to be much different although they are continuing to flower, there doesnt seem to be any further new growth on the plants so maybe you were right Rival and the plants were sucking the nutes outta them?
Shall continue to monitor and am trying to remedy a bug problem that i have developed with some little gnat looking bastards! Anyway a few new photos, hope they are looking good for everyone? I'm loving them so far although the tallest plant has outgrown my cabinet so a new tent might be in order...

Hi all, I have missed a few days out recently but a update on day 51/41 girls are flowering nicely, have been feeding tomorite ferts for the past fortnight and will start to rush her next week, she looks like she might still have some grow left.
Some leaves have gone yellow or brown and crispy near the bottoms of the plant, not sure if its worth trimming or if its nute issues?
Ph has been around 6.3/6.4 on soil for a while now, colourings just on fan leaves so im hoping shes just getting on a bit lol
Some leaves on one have gone brown and twisted, unsure if it was nutes or lighting

Anyone able to let me know how these are doing? Not sure how long to keep flowering, i know they are autos and probably stop per say lol
