If you’re growing Chiquita Banana feminized cannabis plants and you’ve noticed some of the leaves turning yellow, don’t panic! Yellowing leaves can be caused by a number of reasons, and thankfully, it’s usually fixable.
The most common causes of yellowing leaves are either due to over- or under-watering the plants, or a nutrient deficiency. If your Chiquita Banana leaves are yellowing, it’s best to first check the soil and make sure you’ve been providing enough water and fertilizer to the plants.
If the soil feels dry, chances are you’ve been under-watering your plants. You’ll want to ensure that you’re giving your Chiquita Banana plants enough water. Generally, cannabis plants need about 2-4 liters of water per week to stay healthy and hydrated. If you determine that you’ve been under-watering your plants, increase the amount of water and ensure that the soil is moist but not waterlogged.
If the soil feels too wet and is waterlogged, chances are you’ve been overwatering your plants. Overwatering your plants will cause the leaves to turn yellow, and eventually lead to root rot if you don’t take action. To fix this, reduce the amount of water to your Chiquita Banana plants and ensure that the soil can be allowed to dry out between waterings.
In addition to water-related issues, yellowing leaves can also be an indication of a nutrient deficiency. Cannabis plants need their nutrients to thrive, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Generally, it’s best to provide your plants with a proper fertilizer that contains the right balance of nutrients.
If you’ve noticed that your Chiquita Banana leaves are yellowing, try giving them a fertilizer to provide your plants with the nutrients they need. However, don’t over-fertilize your plants, or else you may burn them and cause further issues.
Lastly, yellowing leaves can also be caused by environmental stressors such as an inadequate temperature or light level. Chiquita Banana plants prefer warm, humid environments and plenty of sunlight. Make sure that your environment meets their needs and that you’re avoiding over-exposure to strong winds or cold temperatures.
If you’ve noticed that your Chiquita Banana plants are starting to yellow, take a look at the soil, watering habits, and environment to determine the cause. With some basic troubleshooting and a bit of understanding, you should be able to fix the problem before it affects your entire crop.
