Thanks

Hmmm about a week and 2 days.
Its been smelling "skunky" since it was a foot tall. I'm very proud of her.

I think it might just be regular early flowering yellowing.....is it only the old and inner leaves?

 

[Hotboxbudz]

That's exactly what it is. The older fan leaves, and its not really the bottom or the top...its right in the middle. Thanks man lol I can relax now.

I did my PH and it goes...

3 foot 6.3
4 foot 6.1
6 foot 6.0

I was about to foliar feed the 6 foot one with a very light blast of N, but I came in and read your post. I think I will skip it and give it a day or two.

 

[FresnoFarmer]

haha. I foliar feed every morning and my inner/older middle fan leaves have been yellowing anyways. You should be good bro.....If it is an N def you will start to notice ALL of the leaves going really pale

 

[Hotboxbudz]

The only thing I have to foliar feed with right now is MG. I'm not sure how much to use and the window of foliar feeding is closing fast.

 

[FresnoFarmer]

I would start off at half of the small scoop per gallon of water
Foliar feed in between 6am and 10 am.
Add a couple of drops of dish soap to each gallon so the solution spreads across the leaves evenly, making it easier for the plant to take up the nutes

I foliar feed with MG every morning

Also....There is a dude on here who foliar feeds with MG well into flower.....his name is spl1

here is some of his MG buds

The pic didn't show, but I can go look him up. I'm trying to not use MG very much,at most once a week. I will be doing some research on good organic foliar feeds

 

[FresnoFarmer]

The best cheap organic foliar feed for veg is Alaska Fish Fert imo. It will turn those leaves nice and green

 

[Hotboxbudz]

If I have to order it online then ill have to pass.

 

[FresnoFarmer]

haha.....it is 12 dollars a gallon at Walmart, Lowe's, and HD

 

[Hotboxbudz]

Sweet!! ill go get some tomorrow then.

 

[FresnoFarmer]

I don't order online either......except for the HPS I will be getting. everything else I buy local

 

[Hotboxbudz]

Yeah that's smart. I wouldn't say i'm paranoid...just careful.

 

[Hotboxbudz]

Yeah I don't like this yellowing, i'm going to start foliar feeding tomorrow in the morning. We will see if it helps.

 

[FresnoFarmer]

Did you get the fish poop?

 

[Hotboxbudz]

Yeah its locked and loaded, ready for tomorrow.

So I have been fighting some pests this week, picking off a few caterpillar (they roll the edge of a leaf and make a small web). I only see 1-2 a week and they don't do much damage. I know I have some spider mites, but its not to bad. Should I be really trying to fight the spider mites? I think there will always be some no matter how hard I hit them. Is spraying the undersides of leaves everyday with some light firts and soap good enough to keep them in check?

 

[FresnoFarmer]

I would spray with with BT to get rid of your Leaf Rollers.....and the spray with liquid ladybugs to battle the mites
