We did world of seeds northern lights big bud for our first grow. Gorilla grow tent, two 1,000 watt LED. Started seeds on April 28. (64 days from seed). We are 2 weeks and 2 days into flower. I was going to flower for around 8 weeks. Any idea what yields might be close to based on pics? Is it too early to tell at this point still? I'm hoping for at least 4-6 ounces. Even if too early to tell, is that a realistic goal? The seeds I bought said 500-600 grams per meter squared, which my tent is about 1.5 meter squared I believe. With that being said, I've read many forums that state much less yields than the seed sites say...They are looking a little thirsty today so plan to water tonight...

Id say 2 half pounds you in coco or soil?
Growing in soil. Fox farm ocean
Sweet! Thank you!
The buds have beefed up quite a bit in only 2 days, but some leaves are turning yellow and dying off. We aren't quite 3 weeks into flower yet, but I'm thinking I may need to step up watering to every day. Early on we used to water about once a week. Then once every 5 days and once every 3, now it's every other day, but they seem dried out. We usually do nutrients for two waterings, then one without nutrients just PH'd water because we were getting some nutrient burn. My light is 18 inches from LED, which manufacturer recommends in bloom, so don't think it's light burn. My question is if I water every day, should I maybe do nutrients every other water? What are your schedules/ ideas?

Where on the plant did these leaves come from?
Mostly the bottom of the canopy, a few in the middle, but none from the top.

From the looks of your second to last pic of the tent, I think you're seeing a nitrogen deficiency.
The older plants are a lot lighter in color than the one in the front left. Almost looks like the soil was hot @ the start and caused some excess and now the the feed has been to little.
What/how much are you giving @ feeds?
If you check this chart here and follow the numbers in order for nitrogen deficiency, it's almost exactly what you're describing.
On my first grow most of my leaves were about the same size as yours seem to be from what I can compare them to in your pictures. I didn't realize at the time that they are actually quite small compared to what they should/could be until I got things straight and started growing leaves like this instead...(I'm 5'10" with avg size hands btw
)
Hope you get it figured out. Best of luck.

Likely potassium deficiency.
They were all actually grown at the same time, the same strain, and fed on the same schedule, so I have no clue why the front left is so much different. I'll try to bump up the nutrients though. Some of the leaves on the plant are about the same size as what you've got in your picture above, just not the whole plant or the dead ones lol.
Here shows the leaves on the plant that are decent size. Its funny though, because they looked bigger at older pictures, but the longer I go, they seem to be getting smaller. I wonder if it's due to deficiency.

So we've had one plant that was slacking in growth compared to the other two. I rearranged them tonight and am hoping this will help. Im attaching before and after pictures. Does anybody think a supplemental light is necessary? I'm thinking it might help the plant growing slower. I like LED and am considering a 60 watt strip LED light on three pole next to this plant. Any recommendations/ suggestions?
