So my last four plants started doing this, 3 were clones, one was from seed. It starts happening during the 2nd-4th week of flowering and by the 6th week almost every leaf is already yellow and a good portion have already fallen off.
They finish fine and buds look great for harvest but this has me thinking that they're not reaching their full potential. I haven't changed anything in my routine other than moving them from veg to flower when they're smaller...do smaller plants yellow faster?
I also religiously check my PPM/PH before feeding and watering and also check the runoff and everything is fine there so why are my plants all of a sudden using the nutes from the leaves instead of the nutes in my soil while Im still feeding?

Even with my tap water's 200 PPM Im still only at around 650...everything Ive read calls for 750-950 for early blooming and 1000-1600 for late bloom. I thought nute lockout only occurred when your pH was off?
Not if you're getting salt build up. I almost never 'go with the 'full recommendation. Do you ever flush your plants to make sure you aren't getting salt build up?
-------------------- Dude she isn't as young as she use to be.
I usually don't flush unless there's a problem...and always a couple times before harvest, once a week before and again the day before. I just flushed with some RO water, hopefully that will help.
