so i've had this problem for a while. just thought the plant was gonna finish early but i was wrong. the leaves just started to yellow/ brown and die off. the plant is sucking the nutes right out.. i just don't know why. the buds look fine for now but all the leaves are gone and the plant is clearly not finished.it was getting 2 tsp. F.F. tiger bloom 2 teaspoons mollassas and 1 tbl spoon hydrogen peroxide every watering. i've flushed now and been feeding plain H2O since. they'll be done within the next two weeks so im not too worried but i want the last two weeks to go well to pack on as much weight possible. at the very least i would like to know what went wrong!!!! +rep for experienced answers.:cry:

Read the instructions on the FF I think you need to add 1 cup per gallon of water. I feed every other watering.

it says two tsp. per gal. of water every other watering. i used it every watering. could be the problem but it doesn't look like nute burn.

Let it ride, if the leaves are looking really poorly, adding much more nutes wont help. If you're within 2 weeks of harvest, I say go one more week at light nutes and begin flush. Flush em till the trichs are ready!! I think the finish of a plant is VERY dependent on the health of it throuout the grow. I fertilize mine to where the leaves are REALLY green, until week 6 of flower. However, Ive grown soil and gone very deficient in the end. It doesnt really kill the bud, but you lose a tiny bit of yield. Perhaps you were a tad light in nutes throught early and mid flower? My ppms go thru the roof about weeks 3-5 of flower, and the plants dig it. Dont know if I'd use the peroxide so much. I bought a ton of 35% and found no gains from it unless I had a root bind issue. Now its just for cleanup. :) Long story short....

I agree with Rocky mountain High..... Dont fret, you get small gains in the end. Im using overdrive and its so worth it, but the gains arent that big, just really sticky icky. Hope that helps. happy growing to ya.
