    Whats good DGC?

    Quick breakdown of my grow

    Frequency Shift (Irie genetics)

    Week 6 (Day 39)

    2×4 Tent

    HLG 350

    Eearthbox

    Buildasil 3.0 soil (living soil)

    VPD 1.3-1.6

    Temp: 72-76

    Humidity: 45-50

    I’m running buildasoils schedule for nutrients. I attached copy of the schedule in photos.

    I have had an issue with yellowing of my top leaves. It’s spreading slowly. I noticed it started about a week to 10 days ago. I’m thinking it may be too much light due to the leaves turning away from the light. I maxed out my distance and turned down the lights 10% two days prior to the posted pictures. I’m growing Frequencyv shift from irie genetics. The website states that it is a heavy feeder so I’m concerned I might be deficient in something as well. Whats everyone thinking may be the issue?

    Thanks for all the help through myb grows DGC!

    I had a similar problem with my current grow of autos about 2 weeks into flower. As I normally grow photos, I was confused because nitrogen deficiency usually starts at the bottom and spreads up, and the other option for intervienal chlorosis is Mg deficiency. But I was almost certain that wasn’t the case as the organic fert/tea I’m using has Mg in it. So I doubled the fert rate (I was already using half of the lowest recommended “bloom” dosage) and applied Optic Foliar Transport, Rev and Watts a few times and it greened up again pretty good. I don’t want to see fade until there’s only a few weeks left. I think it’s possible autos might exhibit nitrogen deficiency differently than photos.

      Sorry I forgot to specify this is week 6 since flip to 12/12. This is a feminized photoperiod.

    Looks like more of a watering issue. Back off the watering and light a bit and see if they perk up after a few days of not watering.

      The photos are taken 5 days after top watering with 1 gal with buildabloom. I was thinking this may be the issue but didn’t see improvement so I just bottom watered with 2 gals today. I should’ve waited a little longer. She’s usually drinking the 2 gals from the bottom in 2 days. I always give it at least 12-24hrs from resevoir drying out to top water with some nutes or refilling thecresevoir. I figured 5 days from a top water would show some improvement. This is my 4th run only so I’m still learning. Thanks for the input.

    Here me out, reduce your lighting intensity and it will darken back up in a couple of days.

    I would check your ppfd, since that is the only number you didnt really give. Did it ever get dry on you once to where it was droopy?
