does anyone feed when its been raining for a few days? i didnt know if it was kosher or how much to dilute so i skipped a few days. now i have some fan leaves turning yellow. i think its from lack of food? or could it be to much water. it rained for like 4 days

Plants in general love rain water. They should be in flower if they're outdoor - yellowing could just be natural as they stop focusing so much on nitrogen uptake and worry more about phosphorus uptake to produce the buds. I don't see any harm in feeding them - but I'm used to blue skies during out door being from Cali. If you do feed them, I'd cut back on the nitrogen amount anyways.

Not to hijack this thread but there's been something about rain that's been puzzling me. According to the wikipedia entry for rain, the PH of rainwater is anywhere from 5.6-2.0 Shouldn't this be killing mj plants? I know growers take care to PH their feeding water so I can't figure this out.

How far into budding are these? Being from the same area as yourself, I know the wet season is coming and if your not about finished budding within the next week or so you'll want to get them covered and make sure you get lots of air movement around them, and not allow them to get soaked once the weather cools. Powdery mildew is notorious up here and usually gets the ones I don't have covered...even when I treat with preventives. Post up some pics! Peace and great luck to you!! gman
