Just bought a box of boronic acid, thinking it might fill in hollow stalks. Any ideas on this?I doubt it's low boron as REMO has some in all 3 of it's base nutes. 20 Mule Team borax can be used for a supplement. Sprinkle a tsp on top and work it in a bit then water as usual. Or get some boric acid from the drug store and a tsp in 10gal is lots. Add to the water before adjusting pH as it will act like weak pH Down. It's a very rare deficiency.
Looking at the chart I think my damn kush might need a dash of boron as it keeps dropping yellow leaves but is still bushy as hell.

Seems there are a variety of boronic acids and mainly used in medicines like chemotherapy. I couldn't find anything about it being used on plants tho it may work fine. At least your plants shouldn't get cancer.
I'd maybe try a foliar spray of one branch or just a few fan leaves first and see how they react before using it in the pots. And go low dose when you try it in a pot first.
I can offer no guarantees re: the outcome.
Good luck!
. Over feeding was the problem. They all look really good and healthy now

Just my two cents; I have always taken a less is more approach so to speak.
You always add more water or nutrients but you can't take it back when you over do it.
Also I no longer use plastic pots. I grow outdoors using fabric smart pots. They dry much faster and you won't get root bound.
If you have to use plastic pots go easy on the watering. Good luck.
