Maine Outdoor 2021

Nice plants in the background by the way. To me it looks like a slight magnesium problem.

Hey friend, Thrips aren't the worst so thats good. I know they love onions, and some other outdoor plants so be mindful of carrier plants nearby. My best success with killing them dead and gone, was a combination of first using a spinosad spray at dusk, and a dr bonners/water spray bottle. The soap spray is perfect in health to the earth and plants and living things so be free and liberal with it. Dr Bonners is Castille soap so in my opinion safer and more effective than when I've used dawn dish soap. But any soap will do. Good luck and do a few applications a few days apart until you see lower numbers. Happy growing

Try naming the file/picture a different name to the one that refuses to upload.

Hi Smeagol, looking at your diary I can see only a gorgeous weed garden. I'm an outdoor grower too and little by little I've learned to don't care about falling of lower/middle canopy expecially if the plants look healthy and with the right tone of green. Looking closely I've noticed some leaves infested by mites. Sometimes lower leaves yellowish and fall because of a combination of factors like age, nutes deficiencies (is not your case), high humidity near the soil and parasites. In any case with senescence bottom leaves will fall anyway. Be relaxed and control the critters around. Cheers Bro

We've been having issues with posts and questions recently (uploading pics especially), hopefully they get it fixed soon cause the app and community is awesome.

For the last 25+ years, I have been giving/continuing with grow nutrients until there are small budlets formed, before switching to half grow and half bloom for the next 2-3 weeks, before changing to just pure bloom nutrients through until maturity. This seems to produce the biggest blooms on plants that do not exhaust themselves and end up canabalizing themselves to a sickly yellow colour. I will also give one dose of half grow and half bloom about half way through the "just bloom nutrient" phase as a plant booster, but probably one third grow nutes and two thirds bloom nutes would be a more accurate description. Cannabis does still need a good supply of nitrogen in early flower and switching to bloom nutrients when the first pistils appear will/can lead to a reduced yield and certainly reduced health in late flower, and seems to be a common rookie mistake amongst a lot of growers on this forum. The routine I use is the evolution of my experiences growing outdoors for 35+ years and the result of much research and experimentation. Others may disagree, but it works outstandingly well for me and in my situation. Hope this helps, Organoman.

Whether it is worth treating and rescuing back to health is something only you can decide, but if it does have leaf Septoria, (or possibly powdery mildew) moving it far, far away from your other plants would be my advice to you. If it is growing in the ground directly and can not be moved, and if she does not interest you that much, then yes, cull it and throw it in the garbage and make sure it is as far away from your other plants as possible. Cheers, Organoman.

Mmm real hard to say bro but I’ve noticed that Tiger bloom is quite acidic and drops the pH significantly. I wish I could give you a guess of where it would be but it depends on your water so much. Here’s what I’d do is check your ph with your drops or whatever without the BB cuz it should barely effect your pH compared to the other ones, then add BB after you have a decent idea of where it is. Anecdotally, my pH was usually pretty low after my FF feeds were mixed up.. 5.5-6.0 so a lot of time I’d be adding a few mLs of pH up. Feel free to PM me if you’ve got any other questions about it.. I’m using GH for my outdoor grow now but I use FF for a lot of my indoor flowering plants.

Yes I have noticed this happens more in outdoor grows and it’s quite normal and not as concerning as if you had yellowing dying leaves in and indoor set up. Several of my outdoor plants have started with some yellowing a dropping a few leaves also. I don’t believe WPM would have anything to do with this.. I also realized I was likely underfeeding a bit as you mentioned.. I’ve got some big girls outside and wasn’t used to their nutrient needs. That said I wouldn’t go slamming it with nitrogen - seeing ass your flowering has begun. Maybe up your source of N for one feed then go back to your normal feeding schedule!
