I think it’s nitrogen deficiency
Check ph and increase ec by 2 points

Ok probably a dumb question but whats ec? Lol could it also be a change from distilled water to filtered water?

Are you letting the chlorine evaporate

it’s not dumb , ec is electrical conductivity or ppm they are just same in a way
If you have TDS meter increase your ppm by 100

Could also be where the bottom leaves aren’t getting as much might etc so they’re dying off, which I think is pretty normal

I let my water sit for 24-48 hour before feeding to let the chlorine Evaporate

Ordering a ec monitor :+1:t4: One thing reading all your posts is I realised i water to little. I never have water run off unless i flush :see_no_evil:

Also i used distilled water until i ran out but my fav ilgm guy informed me that obviously has no minerals :see_no_evil::joy::joy: total dumb moment for me. Will make some changes. Let filtered water sit for 48hrs and use that instead. Will see in 4 days if it’s helping (i like to give the changes time to work)

Remember too that lower leaves will naturally yellow and die off as the plant matures.
If you see more that a few then you may need to up the feeding.
You are doing fine so far.

Have you tested the ph of the filtered water yet?

Ok here is what out reads

I am guessing that the first picture is your soil’s tds level and the 2nd picture is or your runoff tds. I am still wondering what the ph of your filtered water is. Your plants look good even though you have a few yellow leaves. You have your tds meter now which will help you a lot. You need to be able to measure your ph too. I will see if I can pull up a chart on the best ph levels for your plant to absorb nutrients.

Hydroponics looks well awkward to get right levels :laughing::laughing:

I am not going to try hydro any time soon. I would like to be pretty good at growing my favorite strains in dirt/soil. I am early on in finding the best strains for pain. I have a few picked out to grow, but have not grown anything but 1 blueberry so far. I already know it is great for pain and gives me a good buzz. I am into organic and natural growing at this time. Good luck on your grow!
