Its a outdoor grow, and i havent checked the pH.
Some branches and all leaves are green while some branches most leaves are yellowing.

It still seems 4-5 weeks from harvest. Thats why i was concerned.

Shes starting to fade a little bit. Are you in the ground? Feeding?

Welcome to the neighborhood :blush::v:

Shes in the ground, and looking good except for some of the yellowing.
I do feed with a 3-7-7 fertilizer, some fish bone meal, kelp meal, and some added bone meal and the occaisional black strap molasses. The soil was ammended with leaf mulch, and worm compost early in the season. Each year trying to improve the soil. 3rd year.

The strain is Mango, and more sensitive to nutes then other strains. Its 10x10x8
Any suggestions?

Donyou have access to sea bird quano and worm castings? Add molasses to it also. Id brew a tea for 24 to 48 hours and feed.

Thanks for the ideas.
No bird guano but i make worm castings and add this directly on to the soil. Alot before planting and a good layer midway through the grow.

Cheers

The quano is for your potash and phosphates needed for flowering. When you top dress or mix it takes up to 2 weeks for those nutes to become avail to your plant. With a tea brewed for 24 hours , the nutrients are made readily avail to your plant instead of having to wait. Also your ph should be running 6.5 to 6.8 if you get a wild hair to slurry, but since youre in the ground, you should be ok… @HippieRunner1 can provide some insite

Thanks for the explanation.

I do fertilize weekly so there should be some nutes in the soil.

Ill make some tea, and give it a feed.

Heya welcome Ely

The yellowing of the leafs at this point in the pants life cycle is normal. The plants is nearing the ends of its life cycle so the focuse of the nutrients is going to the flower. Kinda like natural selection. I like to pick the yellowing ones off at a certain point. Allowing more light to penetrate to more bud sites. Also helps with airflow and pests.
Overall is looks pretty darn healthy to me. :slight_smile:

As for the teas. @ChittyChittyBangin nailed it. A simple mix of worm castings, molasses and alittle bit a sea bird guano or bat would be great. This would give all the plants alittle boost for flower production. Allowing the plants to utilize it almost instantaneously.
I also like to add a few handfuls of dirt from my local area. The humus layer of soil. This contains alot of natural microbes ect. that already thrive in my local area. Transferring those to the cannabis grow I feel straightens the plants health and always it to adapts to the area’s environment.

I also Ike to use dry amendments to top dress. I normally apply the last round about 5-6 weeks before I plan to harvest. Last weekend I added some seabird guano, bio-live, worm castings and a punch of humic acid. I applies 1 cup per 100 gallon grow bag. (The plants really won’t notice this for another few days) <— the humic acid kinda speeds this up.

Happy farming… :crazy_face:

If you choose to use humic acid be very careful with dosage. It doesnt take much !

Definitely!! Alittle goes a long long ways. :wink: I really don’t think you need any at this point. Things are looking pretty good.

When plants get further along into flower things will naturally die off. In small doses it’s nothing to be concerned about. From first glance the garden looks green.

But when you look closer you can see the greenery starting to change. How many yellow leafs do you think you see on this plant?

There are quite a few. Removing them helps with many things. I tend to do this about once every week. I set them on the ground so you could see the large amount.

Once I pluck them off I use the “chop and drop” method. I simply put them on top of the soil. This will add to the mulch layer and provide extra nutrients over time. In further years.

This is an after photo. About 15 minutes of work. It definitely pays off in the long run :wink:

Happy farming…
