The leaves on my plant have gone yellow, dry and some are curling. I am around 2 weeks into flowering and I'm in perlite, hempy bucket style. I have 3 in flower and 1 is looking quite bad, 1 has a few and the last seems ok. I am putting nutes in every 2 days and watering everyday. I've read into it but it could be anything and I don't want to put loads of crap on them if its not needed. Many thanks to any help :)

Cheers matey :) I don't know why that has stretched so much, my other ones are a bit smaller but really compact and bushy. I'll put less nutes in for the next couple of weeks and fingers crossed. Also I'm in perlite not soil so does that make any difference?

hi well it looks like in the first picture you have of the bush growing it looks like you have some serious stretching going on youll wanna get that plant some direct sunlight a.s.a.p or youll have major gaps between the nodes,.....and in the seckond picture it looks like some trace amounts of nutrient diffenciey ist not too bad but you still wanna tackle the problem before it gets any worse......id suggest using 2/3s of the nutrient youre using now and just keep an eyes on it for a couple weeks ,....i wouldnt worry about flushing the soil beacause it isnt too bad and if you use 2/3s of the nutrient youll regularally using it should work with the nutrients allready in youre soil and balance everything out.......hope it helps!!!.........get some direct light on the bush tho!!

So he has a nutrient deficiency and your telling him to use less nutes than he was using?


As for the question, give more details grow medium, temp, PH, nutes, lighting, it will help people who actually know what they are talking about help. So post that info up and I will let you know what I think.

He already said he is in hempy buckets, which means perlite as a medium.

The solution is quite simple assuming your feeding correctly. The lower leaf symptom and green interveins is classic magnesium def. If you let it go any longer the whole leaf will go pale and develop brown spots and brown curled tips. Sometimes confused with N def, but N def specifically works it way progressively back down the leaf. Your stems also are deep purple you wanna make sure they have enough phosphorus to healthy buds and roots.

Feed with some cal-mag supplement, or any mag supplement, or dissolved magnesium sulfate (epsom salt). Be careful and pay attention to ppm and ph.

Hey everyone, cheers for the advice. I have just gone to my local store and he had nothing so I got some epsom salts. Does anyone know how much of this I should use? I'm in 10l buckets. :)
