Yellow Yellow everywhere. 6 weeks into bud HELP!

My Plant was great, 2-4 weeks from choppy chop. Noticed the fan leaves started to yellow. Watered with 5ml flora & 5 ml Kabloom & 5 ml molasses. in gallon of good water.

That was 3 days ago. Checked this morning & lots of yellow. All the leaves have turned yellow, even some of the sugar ones tight in the buds. Noticed my xhause fan died so its gotten pretty warm in my grow box.

Question: Yellow leaves are ok for the big ones at this point, but the yellowing so close to the buds has me concerned. Could it be a need to flush or could the yellowing be caused by the excessive heat for a couple days.

Im growing in a 3X6X6 cabinet with 400 HPS. Temps are usually in the 28-30 Celsius range when the lights are on.

Any idea?


I cant get pics at this point, but perhaps later on tonight when everyone's asleep

Seems like N deficiency to me, which is supposedly normal near the end of Harvest...but you might wanna give her a super minor dose of some veg nutes and see if she responds.

Thought of that, do a flush just in case I messed something up with the kaBloom then 1/2 strength flora Veg (I think that's what its called, its a green bottle)

Well, flushed them for 10 mins lots of clear clean water, then just the Flora Bloom. See what happens. I took a sample budd & tried it. Pretty creeper at this point. Not strong, but nice uplifting... like all of a sudden I looked around & said, "Yip, I'm high." Not really long lasting though..

Hopefully she'll see the next 2-3weeks though ok

JUst read a post that molasses can cause fading of the leaves.. I used mosasses. Maybe THATS what caused the sever yellowing so quickly?

Any comments?

Just keep doing what your doing, no need for anything drastic. Its totally normal to get yellowing, somedays I remove a small pile of dead leafs, mostly fan leafs from the bottom. I have smoked wet and it does work, but nothing like it would be if it was dry and cured for a month in a jar. So if ya can hold out, it will be worth it. How close are you to harvest?

You say your only a couple weeks from harvest, some strains defoliate by design. What's the strain? Sugar leaf shouldn't yellow though. Is this the sugar leaf all the way at the top we're talking about? If so it could have just been fried by the light. Is it yellow and wilty or tan and crispy?

It sounds like to me that at some point toward the end of the grow cycle your plants were deprived of N and never really came back. What happens when we put our plants into flowering? They die. The dying process at some point starts with faded or yellowing leaves which continue to get more yellow as the plant matures and is using up all its food stores making flowers. One of the mistakes I have made long ago was to cut the N way back or cut It out completely during flower. If the plant was deficient or border line deficient during veg and you cut out the N completely or cut it way back during flower ..... can you guess what is going to happen? Your plants will look like shitty yellow bushes all the way up to harvest. Not to argue but I have never personally seen or heard of a self defoliating annual... Plants loose their leave for lots of reasons and one is lack of nutrition, the plants main goal is to stay alive and it will do so with any means possible. Small buds , leaf drop, severe yellowing ect. Older leaves do die off as new ones start coming so yes , I do have some leaf thinning but its due to the natural life processes of the plant and it starts in the bigger , lower , older leaves first.

A health plant stays green until the very end!! Sure..some people say..ahhh yellow leaves, that means its almost done...yeah yeah yeah ..blah blah blah but if u keep them green...they will produce nice health nubs. That's just my two dimes.
