Vanilla Kush (LST) by ChArBuD

i dont think shes root bound, i got one huge mother of a pot. i know the leaves go yellow towards harvest time but im about 3 - 4 weeks in !. Id end up with an eighth is she went all yellow now ! Well slow bud growth could be due to my temps, found this out in a book i have. The yellowing could also be phosphurus, so im going to let the nitrogen sink in first, see if that works, then plain water, then phosurus. Do you reckon leaves go yellow if they dont get enough light ? Most of the yellowing ones are near the bottom or dont recieve as much as the ones on the canopy ?

Cheers for checkin in LSY

Ya, thanks Dayzt1. I would like to see a link to yours. I'll get a couple pics to share here too. 3 weeks left I think. Bud everywhere and finally starting to fatten up. I'm relatively noob and especially to hydro. Just a word to the wise
for any other new growers... a 2x2x5 grow tent is too small for 4 mature plants if you have any real side branching. Oops...lol. Maybe a little autoflower type next time.

Awesome triple - can't wait to see some pics of your VK! I just posted new pics this evening in my journal too. (i've attached a sample here too) :jointsmile: Check them out here:

Hey Dude!

I've been lurking since you started this thread and must say I am liking it. I have yet to start my first grow but have several books and have been reading up for the last couple of years. I really think you should check your PH of your water and also check the ph of your soil--for your best growth you should try to maintain a ph of about 6.5 in soil. If your ph is out of wack, then your little girl won't be able to properly absorb the nutrients you are feeding her. Also forgive me if I missed it, but how often have you flushed her to remove any fert build up in your medium. From what I have read, both of those could be causing your problem. I hope this helps :thumbsup:

kool gt, they been good, yellow leaves have stopped yellowing after i gave them some nitrogen but apparently it makes the weed nasty if you weed them nitrogen during flower so that will be the only feed on N for em ! Atm im using orchid bloom, which is for orchids but apparently it doesnt matter as its got the right stuff in it ! Well my last grow i had 5 plants and i got an oz, but they got root bound and i didnt LST them, Would be sick if i got an oz but more realistically half oz to 3/4 oz. Still an alright bit of almost free smoke :rastasmoke:

kool fcs, I flushed today, water was very yellow green so hopefully i got rid of any nutrient build up. I have been unwilling to buy a ph meter for ages now but i have decided to buy one as they arent that expensive, gets delivered next week o hopefully i got a 6.5 reading

You alright greenthumb, im not too bad mate, happy that the sun is shinin u good ? how the gyals coming along ? Not too sure how long they have been flowering, can never remember how long !! With the flushing theres two types, 1 being, just flush out the soil to get rid of nutrient build up which causes the dodgy ph's and 2 flush before harvest when you flush like number one aswell as not feeding your plants any nutirents two weeks before harvest. This stops them from tasting horrible when smoked and no hard ash ! sure you had some hard ash in your time from dodgy chron in the uk ! Leds in the post, coming tomorrow, guna see how well they work on the sides of my plant, hopefully get sum bigger buds :rastasmoke:

typical you outdoor grower !!:smokin: ye that stuff does work but i read that it deactivates after a year, well not deactivates but i think you know what i mean, stops being as good as it was when you bought it. Stopped with the N, bought some LEDS, Got an extra cfl in there and going to get some big bud nutes soon, all my cash is goin
