yeah mostly from the bottom up. i am almost 100% shure its a nitrogen defficincy even though im feeding it half veg half bloom. its actually clearing alot of the leaves that arent being used which is a good thing. self thining?

I think some will say thats good, others will say thats bad...I have buddies who trim all the bottom leaves to force the plant to concentrate on growing upwards, other people will tell you that isn't a good practice...from my angle it's a personal preference.

Hey santa -

I think your plants need some nitrogen. When was the last time you feed them your veg formula? I am adding 5 drops of mine per watering, and mid budding , last week for us I did a full heavy nitro feed.

I plan on not using it on my reg water now since 4 weeks from harvest and it tastes like shit. Ill also be flushing my plants towards the end.


Also I wouldnt personally take off any leaves.. only the dead ones at the bottom, and I mean completely dead. I have read on this specifically for many hours on many sites. The census is that it doesnt help to take them off. And that if you leave them on the plant will and can use the stored energy.

If they are in the way just tuck them under and such. Just my opinion.

i think im going to ride it out because like you said, we are close to harvest and i am going to probably drop all my ferts. my buds are growing like crazy so i know its not effecting growth. do you think it will mess with the potency of my buds? they look to me like they are producing a lot of crystals every time i see them. do i need all that nitrogen?

[OregonsDank]

Yah safe to say dont use it this grow.

I do feel you need to have some nitrogen in your plants diet during budding though. Not much but some.

Looks awesome. You did a great job with your first grow. Did you top your plants? How long did you veg? How tall are they now?

[Racerx]

Hahah, and you were worried about whether you would come out with enough... Looks like you will exceed your expectations which is always a wonderful feeling. The really funny part is...you still have 4 weeks left which is when they put on the most weight and mass. Cant wait to see more pictures, looks awesome.

Looking amazing as always santacruz, I'm at 4 weeks & 5 days of flowering myself, and mine aren't quite as shiny. Trade ya lol. Anyway keep up the great pics, I'm gonna try and get some macro shots tonight, I got another magnifier so we'll see how they turn out. Absolutely beautiful plants man.
