Yellow plant

[JDU]

So my ph is spot on, feeding Humbolts Secret A&B, Cal Mag & molasses, 7gal plastic, flushed soil, 4wks into flower. How is a whole plant turning yellow? *Note this is the one I had probs with earlier until Mr.furley helped me remember it was in 1/2 used soil. It was doing great & catching up until now.

[JDU]

Huh. Through the day the other 2 plants have leaves that yellowed up fast just like the other. But these have a lot fewer budsites & bigger leaves so I can see that each yellow leaf is at the base of a bud. So I cleared a small pocket of them on the yellow one & the new growth is green so I'm thinking it's just old leaves dying on a whole bunch of little budsites & that I should relax & take them off as they die. Any thoughts?

[Mr.furley]

It looks like You need to up your nitrogen all around

[Rwise]

I agree, feed them, I would give them some blood meal, or rabbit poo

Hello JDU the Mango strain seems to need extra N more than the OG & GSC I've noticed. Make sure your not watering too soon after a good feed, don't flush out the nutes to quick. We sure are having some " false " spring weather here I sure hope we don't get a late spring snowmeggedon again. My seedling clone tent needs thinning out LOL.

Howdy Budgal. Yes she is a pain in the ass but worth it at harvest!!! I'm not sure what would be too quick.... I'm watering every day now- a gal between 4 plants. It fills em up with a few Tbs of runoff & they are dry & drooping again in a day- maybe day 1/2. Right?? One snowfall a year & it's never during Winter!! Oregon weather makes me nostalgic for my old yo-yo haha.

So Humboldt Secret is not a good product. Gotcha & thanks for the replies. Would a soybean, alfalfa, blood meal mix be good or should I go with something faster like a fish oil? (I wish I still had rabbits)

[JDU]

Roommate had some of this left. Anyone heard of it? Good? Bad?

[SoOrbudgal]

I've used it in the past it works

[JDU]

Cool. Label says you only feed it every 3wks.....????

[JDU]

Sorry, just a couple more quick questions before I feed- Should I add the fish to the Humbolts & cal msg & molasses? Should I give it to everyone or just the pale ones?

[SoOrbudgal]

Sorry JDU I feed simple ways. I know nothing about nor do I use humbolt or cal mag. I feed different than you and a lot others. I don't ever but it's my way not saying works for you nor anyone else, I do what works best in MY soil/dirt. I don't fix what ain't broke. I said I used that fish fert in the past when I used it in teas for outdoor not indoor sticks the house up.

I use molasses on occasion during flowering and I put it in my water nothing else. I don't mix things in my growing nutes . When it's time to feed I feed it grow food. When they bloom I feed them bloom food. I throw in a water and molasses feed once a week during flowering. Sometimes you just gotta do what YOU think is best trust your gut and grow skills but don't over mix weed is a simple plant wants simple foods. Like i said i'm simple. I will use Epsom salt plain stuff to fix soil works very well 1-2 tablespoons in a gallon of water. It will help bring it back to neutral and give some green to the plant.

[JDU]

I hear ya- I'm the same way but my soil IS broken. City life sucks.

[Mr.furley]

Feed all of them.

your watering a little everyday?

[Mr.furley]

So I would suggest to let your pots dry out a little in between watering, giving more water - less often.

When you water a little every day you can overwatering you're plant by depriving them of oxygen, plants with wet pots create a problem for mold, rot, and fugue.

Your first picture shows a need for nutrients and a droopy plant from poor watering practices which could also be causing a root problem and back to the nutrients.

Since you are now using liquid fertilizers there is no need to treat your medium like soil but start water like a hydroponic set up.

Water to 10% runoff.
Let the pot dry till it is lite when lifted.
Give plan pHed water from time to time.
Your pH range should between 5.8 and 6.4 now.

[JDU]

Ok. I been letting them dry until they droop a little. Takes a day- day .5 They perk right back up after watering. Yes- they were ready to be watered in that pic & I wanted to know what nutes to use that feeding. Gotcha & Oh wow. Then I'm way off on ph. THANK YOU!!!

[D.A.A.S.69]

I agree with Mr.furley, feed them, if your looking for a good fertilizer, check out MegaCrop, it's an easy 1part, they even got free samples.

[JDU]

Well how do ya like that?!!! I was checking ph & feeding records... I was nervous about these nutes burning them so I was feeding for veg. I doubled up & lo & behold they ain't starving & drinking every drop instantly. There's even moist soil still on top.
