Id kinda disagree, hes pointing out that googling things vs asking experienced people might get you a different answer. Also pointing out that sometimes people without experience will try to answer with Google-fu. I like to amalgamate them, my own experience and understanding supported by articles. Ive been doing this for a decade and I still make stupid mistakes.

I disagree was well, I was expanding on not being able to trust Google pics but that’s ok. Opinions vary and everybody is entitled to theirs.

I wish him luck. Its going to be a struggle the entire time until he tightens up his methodology.

Agreed unless it’s a ph issue

Small pot. Root bound and running out of energy Top feed with some organic soil. Pot up. Tea. The usuals

Late to the party but pH, 100%. A general yellowing like that is classic low-pH.

Not terrible, buds look fine and that’s what matters. It is also partially just old leaves fading, it’s a mild pH issue, easily resolved and doesn’t look like it’ll cost much yield.

Runoff pH is everything in hand watered media, especially coco.

Nothing wrong whatsoever with bottom watering as long as it isn’t high EC over and over. If it was high EC issues from bottom watering, you’d most likely have burnt tips and a mineral crust on top of the media.

Get your runoff around 6.0-6.5…should improve somewhat but since you’re on the downslope of flower the leaves may not go totally back to normal.

What @vernal said here fixed up the Lime Cakes I had mangled in veg. I was only checking pH and ppm going in, not going out. My tap water comes out 7.1-8 and is calcium heavy so an Mg boost and cutting back CalMg a lot helped me significantly. When my deficiencies looked like Molybdenum and I finally asked for help my caretakers just raised their eyebrows and asked about my runoff.

Now growth has been strong through flower - minimal fade, the older stuff with deficiency faded out immediately. The plants I didn’t mangle on the new feed are some of the healthiest I’ve ever had through bloom.
