I was wondering if using the Alaska fish fertilizer 5-1-1 would be good to use here in S. Oregon? I know it works wonders for my veggies but that's a whole different plant.

Thanks for the silica advice. I did some searching and found these but think that the Silica Mono Acid is best. Si-Tech, Mono-Silicic Acid or Botanicare Silica Blast. Which one should I use, the Si-Tech?​ ​ ​​

This is my 4th year of growing and the first time I've ever had leaves turning & dying this early on in the year(they've been in the ground for 3 weeks). I'm thinking it's the heat which has been in the 105+ range for over a week, even 113° for 3 days straight. It could be over watering also...

Just picked up 4 clones which are 2 Blue Dreams, 1 Shiskberrie and one that is labeled AP-Mim, anyone take a stab on what that is?

Thanks for the feedback. Here are what my girls looked like about 2 weeks from harvest. I really think they were thinned out pretty good especially the Mac and Cake.

This is our 4th year growing outside but the first time that we got some bud rot but thankfully not too many. I've read here and there that you need to keep the plants dry as possible which ours never see any rain but I'm wondering about humidity and morning dew. What do you outdoor growers do...

Here's another really close up of one, I can't take a pic with my jewelers loupe.

SoOrbudgal- They are all clones and were hardened when I got them and planted outside the day after mothers day. Here are a few pics of the entire plants The green ones are Shiskberry and the purple ones are a Mac and a Cake. We are suppose to have two days of 83° temps then back down in the...

I'm thinking these are ready to harvest but wanted to make sure. Also have a few buds that I think worms got to and destroyed because they're dried out and crumbly. Here's some pics. Is this because of worms?

Here's a pic of the leaves. The pic doesn't do the color justice, they are actually purple.

I forgot all about this girl, I was told it was a G. Cake or something like that. It's the smallest of them all and most of the leaves are turning purple. Here's a few pics of the buds.

Bluey, I have 3 Shiskaberry​ and a Mac. The plants seem to be healthy but for some reason this year they look more like Charlie Brown Xmas trees(not a lot of limbs) but what there is they are loaded. Here's one pic and I can take more if you want.

I'm always confused when it's ready to harvest. I know the trichomes are suppose to be milky but they look like half and half to me. Here's a few pics although they're not that great. What do you think?

Been noticing more than normal(at least for me) yellow leaves. My girls have flowered and buds are growing so I expect some leaves to turn but not this many I'm getting about 6 to 8 per day. Could there be a problem? Also, this is my 3rd year of growing outside and this year the plants seem to...

It's been a couple years since I last grew any and with my failing brain capacity it's hard for me to remember. Here are a few pics of my plants and I was wondering if this is the start of the flowering stage or is this just new leaves?
