Molasses and yellowing leaves.

Or you could drop a ml of bloom an mix a ml of grow in to the feed.
Although I was taught not to mix them I've seen others do it.
Your right tho the bloom is way thinner than it used to be I noted that
In one of my diarys.which is assume they have less molasses in now.
I do 1 teaspoon to 2 ltrs normally or less.and every other water.
tbh I've never noticed when yellowing
Starts like you have after a dose of it.i haven't looked for it.
My last lot were green to the end tho.

As bud says feed them right up before flower an see wot happens on your
Next go.i see ba is using sugar water on his so maybe take a look at that.

The two plants in question are Sweet Seeds Ice Cool Auto. Depending on what site you read the info about them, they either have an 8-9 week flowering stage, Or, it's 8-9 weeks from germination. Mine popped on 14th April and do have amber and cloudy trichs - but feel that there's another 3 weeks to go yet.

Even though I hardly fed these two, they both had Nitrogen Toxicity. (Only one now still shows any clawing) - which led me to think that the lack of Nitrogen would be the problem. In veg stage, they had either only water, or root stimulators. I was surprised by this as there wasn't any NPK listed because there shouldn't be any in there.

It was because of the clawing, I haven't been feeding it too much OT Bloom.

I've just noticed your using LED's....I've observed a few grows where in my opinion LED's have an effect on the way nutrients are transported and are processed which is different to the way in which HPS influence them...

Error fixed.

Theres nothing wrong with this practice...All your doing is changing the NPK ratios, tailoring your own feeds to the needs of the plants..

Hi Erbert.

I didn't want to add any nutes due to the clawing. I thought it would be adding to the problem. So, they've had seaweed root feeds, or water, in veg. In flowering, they've had one light feed of bloom, bio-silicon. Cal-mag and/or PK13/14 as a foliar feed. (I know it's not a good idea to foliar feed in flower, but they did have a fan on them for quite some time afterwards. The Cal-mag and PK was used a week or so after the molasses, so they weren't the ones causing the problem.

Yes Bud, LED. - Mars II 400w.

In those grows that you've observed, are they having similar problems to mine? I know (or at least read a number of times) that LED grows use more Cal and Mag than other lights.

[ERBURT]

Yeah I'd be the same then mate.
I only use calmag as a spray twice in a grow.
2 weeks old and 2 weeks into flower.
I don't use pk in soil as it kills the micro heard
Good idea on the train of thought for spraying it
And I don't know wot affect it would have.
But calmag makes them uptake n a lot more so
That may be why they clawed

This is the first time I've used PK 13/14 as it's not organic - hence the foliar feed. And it wasn't used until after the problem. It's bugging me because a number of grows back, I used nearly half a jar of molasses on just two plants, and never got this problem. Now, I just have to show the plants the bottle and they go yellow.

Like the PK, the Calmag was used after the event of the molasses. Not only that, they've been clawed since veg mode - long before molasses was used.

iv always used molasses 2 spoons to 10 litres and i cant recall getting yellow leaves
