Outdoor Grow Check-up

[cannashaman]

I started three clones outside in central VT on June 3, using Botanicare PureBlend ProGrow (vegitative phase). For better or worse, on July 9, I switched to a transitional recipe (ProGrow + ProBloom), and I'm still at it. I'm wondering (1) whether I switched too soon, (2) when to switch from transition to fruiting and flowering. These ladies are between 4.5'-5.5' now. Do they look a little depressed?

yea i think your right.the yellow leaves look like it needs more nitrogen.just give it grow until you see white hairs starting to grow everywhere.

Im not familiar with the nutes you are using but i think the general rule is veg nutes for veg and flower nutes for flower. Start bloom nutes when you see preflowers or the little whites hairs coming from the calyx. I personally dont see a nitrogen def. That doesnt affect a leaf here, a leaf there. Just by looking at the pic (the little drooping) i would personally question watering. Too much or not enough will make a plant look sad. Just my 2 cents

she needs to repotted. your starting to outgrow the pot. The leaves look like theyre drooping quite a bit. Have you been watering alot lately?

I wouldnt say that you have nitrgogen defiency, the scraggly old growth at the bottom always dies off and yellows naturally. If all of your big fan leaves were starting to turn yellow then i would say give it more nitrogen but i think its fine.

Thanks all. I'm switching back to GROW nutes and watching for distress/health.

Peace!

About three weeks after my previous post, I transitioned to BLOOM nutes and have been at that for a little over a month now. During that time, I've trimmed some buds in which moisture was trapped and rot set in. Just a couple. The rest look fine. Do the fan leaves look okay? They're really drying and falling off at this point. Is all well and normal? Or do these look scrawny? I'd love some feedback on the pictures, and thanks in advance for sharin' the wisdom!

Anyone: Should I cut 'em down and harvest 'em? It's rain in the forecast for the next week.

* I want to harvest soon enough so that the high is heady.
* I don't want to wait so long that buds rot in the rain.

Advice?

Thanks!

chop em off, you don't wanna risk it.

Thanks, Medicaldelivery. That's what I did! And I'm glad, too. I found a LITTLE mold (I think), which would have been much worse had I not chopped when I did.
