Hey y'all. So first and foremost, I want to say thank you for even taking the time to start reading this. I'm fascinated with this website and so thankful to its creators for the mountains of information that I've been sifting through in trying to learn the ways of cannabis growing. And thank you to anyone with any guidance they could give on the matter at hand.
Before I begin, I think my plant's history and my history are in order. I started consuming cannabis six years ago when I got out of the military. I became obsessed with all things cannabis. But life did not allow me to be more of a consumer until recently. I started getting bag seed in some of my buys and I've always been big into growing cacti and herbs. So one day I just decided to toss some seeds into one of my empty herb pots and eureka! I had my first seedlings. This was back in January. I kept them in the same 3in pot all the way until the first week of June. The whole time it had nothing but a few sets of leaves. I just left it outside and watered it regularly. One day early June, I got a wild hair up my ass while bored and decided to transplant the biggest one into an 8in terra cotta pot using miracle grow as my medium. Mind you guys, I didn't know squat about growing cannabis. I was only a consumer.
Once I transplanted, I began doing some studying. Very quickly I took my plant out of that terra cotta pot filled with poison and transplanted again but to a 2.5gal pot using ecoscraps organic potting mix, mixed in with 20% miracle-gro perlite (which I strongly advise against as I did not find out until afterwards that it's supplemented with miracle-gro nitrogen fertilizer. She began to sprout out like a beast. I can't remember the timeline but early on in vegetation, I cut the main cola to break her apical dominance because where I grow (outdoors), I need the plant to stay low and bushy as opposed to growing freely and tall, due to Opsec purposes. So she has been growing very bushy and I've been doing LST to keep her even lower while further exposing the plants insides to get a nice SCROG going (if I sound like I know what I'm talking about, it's only thanks to the creators of this website).
Right now she is between week three and four since I put her to flower. She's coming along quite nicely and with no issue until now. I'm currently feeding her the "heavy feeding" recommended by General Organics with their go box. I use all the supplements they recommend for this part of her growth cycle. I use tap water that is treated with half a multi vitamin tablet per gallon to help neutralize the chloramine in the water. I also adjust the pH of my water to between 6.0 - 6.5 pH.
Now the part I need help with..... my leaves closest to the main stalk are yellowing which I suspect is the plant pulling nitrogen from them. I tried to show what it looks like in one photo. You see the yellowing occur in the center of the plant. This issue doesn't conecern me as much right now.
The issue that does concern me though is what is happening to my fan leaves that are closer to my main colas. I have about 5 or 6 fan leaves suffering from various severity of the same problem. I included two pictures to try to show what I'm up against. If I could get some help diagnosing this problem, I'd really be greatful. She is my first plant and I'm trying to baby her with every ounce of TLC I can give her.
If better pictures are needed, I can try again. Thank you to all in the GWE community who have taken the time to read this and maybe offer a little help.
