Yellow first leaves

[buffalobuds]

Planted four white widow/big bud outdoors, 3 sprouted fine, 4th. one has yellow first true leaves, The stem and round seed leaves look normal . two days in the sun and only slightly green. Soil is a home made organic mix i've used the last 3 yrs. with no problems. Do i wait to see if she improves or pull it and replant?

I view every aberration as a learning opportunity. Unless the plant is taking up space where a guaranteed producer could be, I would nurture it and see what happens.

They are autos so if she don't make it i'll start another and have a later harvest

I would leave it and nuture it back...it might have a later harvest than the other two, but it will produce... I hold the record for longest auto harvest, so I know you can bring an auto back to health.

[buffalobuds]

What is the longest auto harvest record???

[Pyro1711]

My little blackberry auto took over 5 months to harvest...lol

That what i call giving all she can!!!!

Maybe your well used growing medium is the problem.

[buffalobuds]

Canuck Not sure refresh and amend it with worm casting and perilite , dolomite and humus each spring . Had a heavy rain 2 days before sprouting, could be wet feet.

I rotated the pots and she pulled herself to the sun so i know she is alive and thinking

Up-date on Yellow First Leaves, 3Auto White Widows were planted at the same time, 2 sprouted and the 3rd spouted 2 weeks later! The first 2 are 20 & 25 ins., The third with yellow leaves came up and did nothing, no green,no grow for 6 days. Pale green leaves grow for the next three sets. Three weeks old and 4 ins. tall. I was ready to settle for a dwarf auto. Much to my amazement she is now 6 weeks old, 30 ins tall, 6 large side shoots and over 50 cottonball buds!!! Lesson to be learned ......Never give up, Nature has her way! B.B.
