The fan leaves on your plant are the major source for photosynthesis and turning that energy into fuel for your plant.

Yeah, that’s what I meant. But you say it more elegantly.
That woulda been a great plant, if I knew what I was doing. Hehe.

You see! My problem is that I was following your lead bro! Yeah, that’s it. I should have been watching @Oldjoints .

I think Mike does just fine for his few years of growing, so do you Mo!
I certainly didn’t always have nice looking plants and at times still don’t due to mistakes or over looking the obvious.
And sometimes things just happen. I have plants late in flower in one of my rooms that a lot of the lower buds have turned brown and died as well as the leaves. I left the humidity get to low and that was the result.
So lesson learned and we move on……

I am still tweaking controlling the atmosphere in my grow space and it’s kinda getting on my nerves. I think once I get a handle on that I should have fewer problems with my girls. The humidity spikes are the major problem I’m having. I really hate taking a lot of leaves from the plants. Those are the plants “fuel pump” so to speak. You can’t remove that much and not lessen the plants potential.

I have a little problem with those auro Double grape plants right now. The lower leaves are all yellowing. I may need to add some nitrogen, I think.

That’s the opinion of some experts and then others say that defoliation is the key to maximum yield and THC potential. Others say that 70% into flowering water deprivation will increase THC production.
I am no expert and follow what I have learned through my own experiences. As an arborist and landscaper I have dealt with many types of plants. I have also worked on farms and used commercial methods to achieve large scale production of plants. I have played with cannabis since 1976 and still consider myself a student as I am always learning the needs of new strains and what it takes to make them happy. I have tried many methods and as far as I am concerned if whatever method works for you then use it. With all the methods and myths and bro science out there I certainly don’t have the time to experiment and test them all. So I just stumble along using the methods that work best for ME…….

Got a pic?
Your assumption sounds correct but it’s easier with seeing.

Correct me if I’m wrong but doesn’t that, normally, start midway up on the plant if it’s N?
I usually notice it in the fan leaves and lower parts of the plant…….

I guess I didn’t notice it that much because I always take most of the lowers off. lol
Yep. I can see what you mean. I started taking almost all the lower leaves and leaving all the mid and upper. That was to allow for more air flow under the canopy. I would think that leaving those lowers would give me a faster heads up to Nitrogen problems… 
Yes. These are four weeks old from seed.
I fed them some big bloom and some grow big yesterday at feeding. I’m waiting to see if they improve. But look at the four week buds.
Next watering I will check ph.

Super fast, nice buds already.

I was wondering if they turned yellow because of it being so shaded. By herself. I don’t know. There’s something odd about those plants. They are in brand new Happy Frog, so I had not been feeding. Until they started showing some yellow at the bottoms.

I am seeing some burnt tips which tells me they are getting plenty of nitrogen.
I would look towards watering, could be they are a bit over-watered.

Will do. I had only been watering every other day. But they are in 3 gal pots and most recently, if I wait until that second morning they are wilted, so I started watering daily.
