After watering yesterday, I'm feeling a bit more optimistic about this grow. Some of the colas are stacking and fattening up nicely; because of the density of the sugar leaves it's a bit hard to tell how much bud is on the plants when they're in the tent. I still think yield is down vs. my previous grow, but not quite as bad as I thought. Another couple of weeks to go...
Thanks Mrs. Larimar - these plants were a little more fragile with LST than my previous Gorilla Glue grow - my first few attempts all resulted in breaking branches with not much pressure applied. Luckily I managed to save all the branches except for one by immediately tying them up.
It's weird - they've been showing the yellow almost since the beginning. I posted a question on another forum wondering if it was a nitrogen deficiency, but the responses I got were that it seemed to be heat related. The yellowing calmed down for a bit but came back shortly before flipping, and I've noticed recently that most of the yellowing is happening on the side of the tent that gets less direct ventilation. As you say things look healthy up top, so I'm just riding things out for now...
Just caught the end of this grow. Seems the battles you have fought are going to be worth it. Looking forward to the harvest,. Good luck in the final stretch my freind.
