Got 3 Tropicana cookies flowering and three assorted strains vegging. 150w hps on flower and 300w led on veg. Growing in soil in 3gal grow bags.

The budding plants are about 7 weeks into flower and the vegging plants are about 2 months old, but growing v slowly.

Budding plants are beset with yellowing leaves and the sugar leaves are starting to get yellow as well. Vegging plants are getting brown spots and tips, even on new growth.

I seem to have trouble keeping my ph low enough, it’s always creeping up, I water with ph balanced water - low 6. I am using Orga Grow Holland notes at like half strength and only just introduced some cal mag. I am trying to get the ph down so much that now I’m worried my plants are always too moist. Have some flying insects in the vegging plants, using neem oil for this.

Ill post pics, hoping someone can give some advice on what is happening.

Those buds look amazing in my opinion, your foliage is rough and she may be pulling the nuts from the reserves ,looks to be an indi from the fingers , those tend to ripen at 8-9 weeks , plants usually slow as well In late flower weeks and no surprise to see the foliage yellow and fall off as the weeks get closer to harvest . I could be wrong I’m new to growing myself .

Thanks for all of the advice. I just watered them with a weak nute solution with a bit of calmg, hopefully they will appreciate it. With this grow I’m really just trying to limp them along to the end. I’m reasonably happy with how the buds look considering the issues I’ve had. I’m looking forward to seeing how much I can yield with the two lights when I switch my other plants.

Also I noticed a bit of mould floating in my nutrient solution which I thought was wired, I think it must have been from cross contamination. I’m going to ditch it and hope it didn’t do anything nasty to my plants.

Cheers for the advice. I think I’ll definitely just let these ones ride it out and then do better next round. I thought they were a little closer to harvest than that, lots of milky trichomes, nothing amber yet though. The pistils have started going orange and curling up in the last few days. My plan was to basically flush them from here on out, maybe with some molasses in the water. Then harvest.

I wouldn’t flush. It’s an old wives tale as far as I am concerned. Natural processes break down nutrients and transform them in the plant. You’re not going to be stuck with chemicals in the buds if you don’t flush. No farmer flushes tomatoes or other flowering crops. In my opinion, flushing will just aggravate your problems. The second someone shows me a peer-reviewed study that demonstrates flushing is worthwhile, I will issue a retraction, but I am not holding my breath.

300 watt for veg 150 for flower is the wrong way. More watts needed for flower less for veg. Looks like you could veg a but more to..plants look v small.

Yeah, the smaller ones need to veg for a few more weeks, they had a rough time, had to shove them in the garage for a bit and they endure a few sub 50F nights. They keep going though!
