Oh, you notice them yellow leaves, huh? Well, don’t be too upset about it. It’s pretty normal when your plant’s gettin’ toward the end of its bloomin’ time. That’s usually when them leaves at the bottom start turnin’ yellow, like they been starvin’ or somethin’. But truth be told, that’s just part of the process. The plant’s all tired out, and those leaves are jus’ doin’ what they’re supposed to do.
Now, if you see them yellow leaves real early, like right in the middle of flowerin’, you might wanna think about what’s goin’ wrong. Could be a lot of reasons, like it ain’t gettin’ enough food, or maybe it’s too thirsty, or even the lights might be a bit too hot for it. Some of them yellow leaves might be the plant’s way of tellin’ you it’s had enough of somethin’—could be water or nutrients, you know? Maybe it ain’t gettin’ the right stuff from the soil, and that’s why it’s turnin’ yellow.
Overwatering and underwatering can sure do a number on your plant, too. I’ve seen plenty of folks fussin’ over their plants when they water too much or too little. If you water too much, the roots can drown, and if you water too little, the poor thing gets thirsty and starts showin’ signs of stress. Either way, those leaves ain’t gonna stay green for long if they ain’t happy with the waterin’.
Now, if you been puttin’ them grow lights too close or they’re too strong, you might also see them leaves gettin’ burned. That can make them yellow, too. It’s just like when you get too close to a fire—you ain’t gonna stay unburnt. So you gotta make sure the lights are the right distance away from the plant. Keep ‘em just right, not too close, not too far, and your plant will thank you.
Let’s not forget about them bugs and pests. Them critters can suck the life outta your leaves, too. If your plant’s got bugs messin’ with it, them leaves might start yellowin’ and droopin’ like it’s been beaten down by a storm. So, you might need to give your plants a good check for pests. If you find any, get rid of ’em quick!
Another thing that could be causin’ them yellow leaves is nutrient deficiencies. You see, plants need certain nutrients to grow strong and healthy. If your plant ain’t gettin’ enough of the right stuff—like nitrogen, phosphorus, or potassium—it can start to turn yellow. That’s a clear sign it needs some help. You gotta make sure you’re feedin’ it right, so it don’t go around lookin’ sickly.
Now, if you’re at the halfway point of the bloom cycle, and them leaves are startin’ to yellow, well, it ain’t the end of the world. That’s just the plant’s natural way of doin’ things. You can remove them yellow leaves, too, if they’re real bad. That’ll let the plant focus on the healthy leaves, gettin’ them all the light and air they need. Just make sure you’re not takin’ too many leaves off all at once—give it time to adjust.
- Make sure you ain’t overwatering or underwatering.
- Check the lights—don’t let ’em burn the leaves.
- Look for bugs and pests and get rid of ‘em.
- Feed the plant right with the proper nutrients.
- If the plant’s past halfway, it’s okay for some leaves to yellow.
So, like I said, don’t be too worried if them leaves start turnin’ yellow as your plant gets closer to finishin’ up. It’s natural, and it’s just part of the process. But if you see a whole bunch of yellow leaves early on, that’s when you gotta pay a little more attention and see what’s wrong. With a bit of care, your plant should be just fine.
