New Grower Yellow Leaves, Help Please

i wouldnt foliar feed a lady in bloom, you dont want any taste of the nutrients from the bud when you smoke it :thumbs: try getting a cheap ph pen, they are not great but will help you out, i think she looks hungry more than anything else

Hey and welcome!
Ya looks like you would be best off with at least an idea of the pH. I was surprised how much of an impact it has had on my growing. I had a bit of trouble until I got it right. And like SG said all the nutrients you feed it won't do much good if she cannot uptake any of them due to lockout.
Looking at her though, she's not too bad, nice shape to it, bud sites look good and there's a good amount of them, and it looks well taken care of. Get past this nutrient issue and I'm sure you'll get more than a few tasty buds for some enjoyable smoke.
Peace and happy growing.

You can have all the nutrients in the world if the PH value locks them out it wont help the plant!
So I recommend doing some foilar feeding and buying something to measure ph run-off!

Ok i understand very well, i flushed the soil twice, but in far far east of soviet union it is not east to have ph meter or ph pen. I will try my best, trying only nutrients will be my first move.

Thank you all, dear AFN members But most of the world is not usa or europe

Best Regards

A couple of hours after foilar feeding you should spray the plants clean using RO-water!( recommended buy aqualogic)
In this stage of flowering there is plenty of time to neutralize the foilar feeding!
I wouldn't foilar feed in the last 3 weeks but looking @ this plant I don't think shes done in 21 one days !

if he cant get a ph pen in the soviet union then i think he will struggle to get RO water!
better safe than sorry in my opinion, I personally would not foliar feed in bloom at all !
why take the risk of spoiling what you have grown by spraying them with chemicals!

..... There's nothing presented here that indicates it's a pH lockout problem,... Kalt' stated he underfed all along, and the build of the plant backs that up... A lockout severe enough to affect N would have also shown other nute defc. issues and symptoms long ago, and would have shown big time in the plants leaves... Kalt', no more flushing, it's taking nutes away! Foliar is a great way to go usually, as it's the fastest way to get nute's in there, and bypasses any possible troubles in the soil... but at this stage, it has mold risks, what Larky said is true as well,... SG has a good point about rinsing, but keep in mind the plant doesn't take the nute's in unless it's in liquid suspension, and washing it away too soon will limit what the plant takes in,... If you want to try foliar, focus on the fan leaves alone, and spray very precisely, avoiding the buds.... and like the others said, be mindful of your timing; she'll need about a week or so of nothing but water to cleanse out and make for good quality smoke!

Recovering

Dear All,

I followed your instructions and one week passed, the plant is recovering !

Here are some pictures, unfortunately my nutrient didn`t arrive yet, but i found one organic nutrient here which smells like ammonia. I adjuted NPK 22-13-15.

Waiting for your comments.

Best Regards
