Hi again, first grow, looking for opinions/advice.
I am in week 6 of flowering (WW feminized) and the two most mature of the four plants are starting to have some of the upper fan leaves turn a paler green. I am feeding FF Trio per their schedule for Coco Loco, which is about a 50% coco coir and the rest mostly organics. The schedule calls for 3 tsp/gal of Big Bloom (organic, low dose nutrient .01-0.5-0.7), 2 tsp/gal Tiger Bloom (2-8-4) and 2 tsp/gal Grow Big (6-4-4) I cut back on the Grow Big, the nitrogen heavy nutrient, about two weeks ago as I thought I was seeing some early signs of too much nitrogen (a few leaves getting darker green and curling tips). Now I am wondering if I am showing signs of nitrogen deficiency from cutting back the Grow Big nitrogen heavy nutrient. From reading, at some point my leaves should start yellowing and I am wondering if maybe things are okay and I should not be too worried however, GWE's Nebula suggests, in one of her articles, I should not be getting yellowing at week 6 of flowering on the upper leaves. I have been running about a 6.0 pH (FF recommends 5.6 to 6.8 for this medium). I usually water/feed to get run off in 5 gallon pots and have watered ~ 4 days (I weigh the pots and can tell when they are mostly dry and 4 days seems to be about the norm). I realize the lighting may not be the best, I took the photos in the tent (with a flash) but I still think you can see the more pale leaves. I have not really had any significant issues with the grow in the veg stage or the flowering stage and I am hoping what is going on is "normal" or can be easily corrected. Without advice, I would probably add back the Grow Big in my next feeding which would be in a couple of days.
Thanks,
