Heading into the home stretch - I'll probably be harvesting next week. Ironically now that the grow is almost over, the yellowing seems to have stopped, or at least slowed down significantly. I'm wondering if my water pH might have been contributing to the issues - I checked my county water report a few weeks back and was surprised they raise the pH to 8.4 to combat pipe corrosion. I've been using citric acid to lower the pH the last couple of waterings, and the leaves don't seem to be yellowing as much. Perhaps I was getting some sort of lockout??
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.
