STOP THE NUTES
I have just been lurking now and then, kind of lost my interest in this place when it became more oriented to recreational use than medical, but, as I peruse I note one common issue..a.......yellowing
Folks you are giving your plants way too many nutes, the wrong potting soil mixes, and don't let nature work for itself.
You have to have quality stock to grow.....bagseed? well if you get lucky.
You don't need a bunch of nutes....just perfect potting mix and monthly repotting to "fertilize" the plant. Potting mixes are they key. They must be buffered properly, hold enough moisture without holding too much, and have been composted to kill any other organisms including weeds.
This is all simple basic stuff. Not all potting mixes are the same, for example look at how many different combos of Miracle Gro is out there. Some high in N, some high in K&P and not all are good for cannabis. In early life (veg) cannabis likes N. After about 3 weeks, maybe 4 in flower, N has no effect on the plant. It is putting everything into flowering and it wants K and P in the right amounts. Too much and the plant can turn orange, more likely yellow, very fast.
Just look through all the "my leaves are yellow" threads. Most all have been nuted to almost non-existence. Light, water (not RO or distilled you need the micro-nutes) and air circulation and enough of each, but not too much. Most potting mixes for tomatoes will be good for cannabis, but cannabis can not take as much N as tomatoes.WashougalWonder Reviewed by WashougalWonder on .
