Heres some new pictures, i just took. how do i fix this? or is it normal 5 or 6 weeks into flowering?
Hi Cali,
I am at the same point of flowering as you and have had the same exact issue as you. I have 2 strains going ruderalis and k2. The ruderalis is fine and the k2 has the issue your plants are having. What I figured out is that the k2 needed more food than the ruderalis. I now feed the k2s twice a week and the ruderalis once still. The k2s are thriving now.
It could be that your strain is needing to eat more. How many times a week do you feed em? The bigger they get the faster they eat up the food. When your girls have what they need they beef right up if not they suffer. Try feeding on a new schedule and see if they green up and beef up. Keep up with the basic flower food and in between feedings water with just your bloom booster.
Hope this helps you out Cali and keep me posted I very interested in how your girls health is.

My pattern is water mon and wed and feed sat.. i have two white widows, which are the ones that are yellowing. and i have 4 grape grape that seem to be fine, a little yellowing. I use tiger bloom to feed, is straight ro water fine so should i be adding something to the straight water? or should i use the bloom sat and mon and just water wed???
Thanks for the help

I would water feed when the soil is dry almost 2 centimeters down in flowering I use The three micro boosters with my bloom for the different flowering phases which is Open sesame then Beastie Blloms and the last weeks Cha Ching. Someone On this forum says it works wonders on the plant and the buds. I would only add a little of yopur vegging nutes to your mix if not get what I got and mix 1/4 tsp with the bloom.

Feed your widows sat and mon (my schedule as well) and just water inbetween, wed since that is part of your current schedule. You should notice a difference fairly quick.
OH by the way, Is tiger bloom a full NPK flowering feed tea? or just a bloom booster? You should be able to tell this by reading the ingrediants on the bottle.
If it is just a booster it may not have all the required npk's that your flowering girls need. During flowering they still need nitro, potasium, and phosphorus at different levels than veg time. Boosters are added in addition to the basic food and can be used everytime you water. If tiger bloom is just a booster more than likely it has no nitrogen which would cause your leaves to yellow from a nitro defiency.
If it is a full feeding system then feed em 2 times a week see if this helps. Kathy

it appaers to be a full feeding system...it has nitrogen, phosphate, potash, magnesium, boron, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum and zinc. so do you think im good if i contiue to use this now twice a week opposed to once. or should i add anything to the bloom mix???

It sounds like tiger bloom has everything your plants need. Go ahead and feed it to the girls 2 times a week, you should see a big difference soon especially at the top sites. Once things start to green up for you cut off the yellow leaves. Trimming off the bad leaves redirects the plants energy into the bud sites and healthy leaves instead of the energy going into repairing the dead leaves.
If you want to add anything to your bloom mix add molasses. Get some unsulfered blackstrap (any grocery store) this works great for flowering plants, makes the buds fat and crystally. You can use blackstrap (tablespoon or 2 per gallon) everytime you feed and water.

Thanks For all your help Kathy, Im going to go grab some molasses. Im excited to see how they look after i feed them today. i fed sat and they already looked a bit better and today should jump start them. so from here on out they will enjoy molasses everytime i feed and water.

before everyone starts going nute crazy your 6 weeks into flowering I don't really see a problems you only have a few weeks left. by 8 weeks with mine damn near all my fan leaves were gone. the buds that are forming take nutrients from the leaves so naturally they are going to yellow up and eventually fall off. Depending on what strain you have within a week or 2 I would start flushing the plants and only using some water.

true... i just checked my calendar and today is the start of week 5. so im going to feed for this week and next. then only water for the last two weeks. should i still put molasses in the water after these next two weeks or use just straight water???
