Yellow bottom leaves are normal when internodes take over. But in your case Id say its overwatering since your soil in every picture looks completely wet. Included pic is an overwatered plant

If root rot hasn't attacked the roots, Your plant should be fine.

One of the biggest mistakes... Overwatering.

Good luck :)

here is my Topped NL that i chopped down a few weeks ago. As you can see the colas are too heavy to stand up by themselves. This is week 6 of flower with 1 week to go. Dry it yielded 10 ounces & 19grams. Grown in Westlands Compost with added JI & Mistrys Greenit Neem Fertilizer. BIo Bizz Grow & Bloom & some epsom salts at week 3 of flower (21 days). The plant was also treated every fortnight, with Plant Magic's "Essence" as a preventative for LSF & Bud-Rot. 100% Organic so no time wasted on Flushing (more accurately, starving), instead i reduced the bloom nutrient & increased the Grow. This Helps clear up any excess phosphorus, which will allow the bud to burn better & have no harsh taste associated with phosphorus excess.

very Quick & Easy plant to grow, Just keep an eye on the night time humidity for bud-rot, if you cant buy Essence where u live... bud -rot will run riot in a few days if you haven't spotted it.
Also clones quite easily.

Thanks, i have 2 more NL clones in week 5 - 7 of flower right now, that haven't been topped & the difference in yield is already very noticeable. They were at the same height as the one you can see & same final pot size too.
So on this strain of NL, its better to top it.;-)
Shame there's no smellivision yet, that one smelled like honey Mellon in flower.:leaf:

Ime, the more you develop the rootball of your plant before flower, the better the end product in flower will be.
 
Cheers lol, how far are you into your grow, have you got a picture. Yeah mine are coming on ok but some of the bottom leaves need a bit more light coz they going a bit yellow. I could put my big cfl in but it gives off to much heat & my fan broke so i need to get another 1. Before i start flowering.
so I haven't stopped in for a while- but yea, I posted several picks of my grow on my page. I'm still getting the hang of how this site works. not used to following threads/posts and such.
My seeds are from royal queen and they deffinately have a different look than yours. out of 5 only 2 sprouted, a little dissapointing, but I have plenty to work with. I should have used a papertowel to crack them first.

growing a stronger root ball ceratainly worked out for this one. topping can also help on hieght problems. opposite to a SOG or Screen theory of growing. I like how the plants look in his vid...:mrgreen:

When you water, water slowly directly around the stem. Not towards the outside of the pot. For plants your size, I'd say 1/2 cup water every 3-5 days. Might seem like a little, but mary jane thrives in dry soil. Good luck
