New Grower Healthy Plants, but weird splotches

[bubblekarma]

Whats up ya'll? Don't have any pics, but my plants are starting to die out older leaves fairly quickly. Fadeing to light green then about 2 days later yellowed and die. I'm on day 51 currently. I think they do not have enough nitrogen, which wouldn't be surprising. Bloom nutes are rated at 2-20-20. Should I be adding a bit of extra nitrogen, or at day 51 is that a typical N deficiency range for autos? Never finished out strong so not sure if I need to find some additional N and feed or just go with my 3/4 strength Bloom nutes again today and keep 'em goin for another 15-20ish days.

I'll get some pics later!

Hey guys here's some pics. I actually just watered/fed with 3/4 tsp of bloom nutes so we'll see what happens. I plan on stopping nutes at about day 60 anyways.

Looks like the same thing I am experiencing, and I'm still trying to get a handle on it. From what I was told, I guess that's what happens towards the end of flowering. I also had the burnt tips, which kind of confuses me. Signs of nute burn, AND N deficiency at the same time?! Go to the admin only live forum and ask them. They usually respond pretty quick

Whatcha groin in brother? From the burned tips and yellowing leaves I would guess salt buildup causing some minor lockout with it being that late in the grow.

ya im afraid that ocean forest is got ur ph way acidic and them nutes u been putting in finally built up from lock out. how dark is ur run off water? did you ever get a ph pen?not many leaves should turn yellow on day 51 its still pretty early.

Not yet on that PH pen I'm afraid. My soil meter says things are OK. So IDK haha. But, this just started to happen after I noticed the nute burn and flushed them. But I didn't add any nutes in after the flush so they went 3 days without any nutrients in the soil at all basically. After that is when I started to see a few fading and yellowing leaves. I can say though the the buds are getting nice and thick and sweet looking. Can't wait to harvest these ladies here in a few weeks.

Hey what's up A4? Thanks for stopping by. I'm growing in 2gal pots with OF soil.
The burnt tips happened first, when I overfed a bit too much, but no yellowing leaves, just the tips. After which I flushed the soil really good. Then about 3 days later they starting showing some yellowing leaves almost like an N deficiency and has started to get worse over the last 2-3 days.

If you did a thorough flush, then didn't feed her for 3 days, and that's when the fading, yellowing leaves started, I would guess an N deficiency caused that. Just a guess from a newb, though.

That's what I'm thinking too my brotha! 2 newbs CAN make a right? lol.
That's why I upped their nutes just a hair, it's what my gut was telling me. I have a feeling that I got just a bit behind on their N and just haven't been able to quite catch up to their intake level yet. Slow but sure. And if not, I'm still close to the point where I'm clearing them out anyways!

I hear ya, bro. I'm still working on what seems like a very similar issue, but at the same time, the buds are getting sticky, and she's smelling so damn delicious, so I'm not over stressing it!
