Leaves Turning Yellow During Early Flowering
Leaves Turning Yellow During Early Flowering
Growing cannabis plants from seed is one of the most exciting things you can do as a cannabis grower. With an average yield of 1-2 ounces per plant, it’s a great way to get started growing your own cannabis. However, there are some common problems that can affect young plants, including yellowing leaves. This article explains why this happens and what to do about it.
One of the most common problems with cannabis seedlings is yellowing leaves.
One of the most common problems with cannabis seedlings is yellowing leaves. This is often a sign of a problem, but not always. Cannabis plants have a tendency to lose their leaves as they grow and mature, so sometimes young plants just need more time before they start flowering. However, if you notice that your plant is losing lots of leaves in addition to having yellowing ones then something may be wrong with it and there are several things you can do about this problem.
Let’s look at some possible causes for this issue:
- pH imbalance – A pH imbalance can cause nutrient deficiencies because the soil doesn’t have enough nutrients available for uptake by your plants’ roots or those nutrients are unavailable due to an incorrect pH balance (too acidic or alkaline).
Although some yellowing is normal and nothing to worry about, an abundance of yellow leaves can indicate serious issues that must be addressed in order to save the plant.
When you see a lot of yellow leaves, it may be because your plant is in a stressful environment. When this happens, the plant will absorb nutrients from its own leaves to help it survive. If you’re seeing too much yellowing, then your plant needs some time to go through its natural cycle and recover. It’s important not to panic as this will only cause more stress on your plant.
Here are some reasons why your plant might be showing signs of distress:
- The soil isn’t getting enough nutrients or has too many nutrients
- The roots aren’t getting enough water or have too much water (this can lead to root rot)
- The temperature is too cold or hot (I’ve found that my weed plants do best at 75-80 degrees Fahrenheit)
While some problems such as over- or under-watering, not enough light and nutrient deficiencies can cause similar symptoms, this article will focus on one specific problem: yellow leaves caused by pH fluctuations in the root environment, particularly those involving high pH levels.

A few basic facts about pH (the measure of acidity/alkalinity) are helpful to keep in mind when managing your cannabis crop. Most important is that the optimal range for growing marijuana is between 5.5 and 6.2; if you’re growing indoors with lights, keeping your water within this range will ensure healthy growth with no need for extra nutrients or additives.
To ensure healthy growth and high yields, it’s important to pay attention to the early signs of trouble (discoloured leaves) and take care of the issue before it becomes too hard to fix.
- Identify problems early on.
- Take care of the problem immediately.
- Learn from your mistakes and avoid them in the future.
When young plants are first placed in a new growing medium, they need certain nutrients for their roots to grow properly.
When young plants are first placed in a new growing medium, they need certain nutrients for their roots to grow properly. Phosphorus helps speed up root growth, but if there’s an issue with pH fluctuations, the plant can’t absorb the phosphorus properly. This can lead to yellowing leaves on your plant.
The best way to prevent this issue is by using a high-quality fertilizer that contains a good balance of major and minor nutrients (as well as trace minerals) at the correct ratios so your plants get all they need from one source without having to add anything else in later on down the line.
For example, phosphorus helps speed up root growth, which allows plants to absorb more nutrients and water from the soil.
Phosphorus is a nutrient that plays an important role in flowering. For example, phosphorus helps speed up root growth, which allows plants to absorb more nutrients and water from the soil. Phosphorus is found in many fertilizers. Bone meal is an organic source of phosphorus; rock phosphate and triple superphosphate are also common sources of this nutrient.
The use of rooting compounds with phosphorus as well as a correct night temperature (anything above 20°C) can speed things up, but if you see any signs of discolouration on your plants’ leaves (such as yellowing or pale green colour or even dark spots or black tips), there might be an issue with pH fluctuations.

The root system is the heart and soul of your plant and it needs to be healthy in order for your plant to live long and prosper. Because roots are so important, it’s vital that you pay attention to them when growing cannabis indoors.
