I'm losing alot of leaves and am concerned. I am not about two weeks into flower. Not sure if its normal to lose so many leaves in a large outdoor plant during early flower. Losing about 20 leaves/day for atleast two weeks now.
Don't my plants need their leaves till later in flower? This plant is in the darkest corner of the greenhouse and has always really struggled since I transplanted it there but I'm losing leaves on my other plant too (they both get watered/ fed the same.)
Hoping for big harvests on this one!
I'm 2 weeks in flower &losing ~20leaves/day on this & my OGgelato (see diary). Yellowing in inner canopy/ all over, even top, not just older fan leaves. Is this magnesium def? OR what? I'm using cal/mag but my Nectar of gods PHup has calcium in it too. Should I be concerned?
Hi @S_Dubz, nice monsters in here! I think there's nothing to worry about, your plant seems to be auto-regulating its system, by getting rid of the leaves that can't get enough light. Lower leaves often fall by themselves especially after the preflowering stage where Nitrogen consumption was at its peak. Let's see how this goes with time but if it's only the lower leaves, do not panic, let the lower parts breath and make sure the whole plant has a good airflow. Let me know in the comments section if you need any further information, and happy growing! 👊
Cruising right along. I've got some inoculated mycelium coming up. Buds are forming and seemingly getting bigger each day. This is a super exciting time of year.
Went on short vacay last week.
This week got one fan up and running, got two more that I'm adjusting or installing. Weather has been cold and wet, and we're expecting a week of solid rain. Had a slight nutrient burn last week. Buds are starting to stack.
Found bud rot this morning. Last week was solid rain and it seems my three fans were not enough soon enough. I'm disappointed with the product I've been using called "Nuke EM" which was sprayed weekly as a preventative. Removed moldy nugs. Now what? should I chop 2-3 wks early
Seems to be a lot of outdoor growers living in areas that are getting cooler temperatures having the same issue showing up. Moisture ,cooler temps longer nights are a perfect environment for fungus and mold,mildew. The rain and morning dew sitting on the plants isn't helping matters either. You are definately doing the right thing by removing the infected buds. I would cut a few inches below where it seems healthy. I would sterilize the clippers between cut in a solution of 1 part bleach and 9 parts water. Then rinse in clean water. May be easier to use two clippers soaking one while using the other. I would do this only when dealing with removing contaminated plant parts. Next I would perform a modest defoliation of the larger fan leaves to open her up for better air circulation and so more sun light will reach her. Don't strip completely. There has been some success in using Bacillus Subtilis to combat Botrytis cinerea and other fungal/bacteria rot in plants. https://www3.epa.gov/pesticides/chem_search/reg_actions/registration/decision_PC-006479_9-Aug-06.pdf#targetText=Bacillus%20subtilis%20strain%20QST%20713,bacterial%20spot%2C%20and%20walnut%20blight.
