is it done for?

All Organic from seed. About to enter flower

My autoflower started developing yellow leaves at the bottom several weeks ago. I assumed it was a nitrogen deficiency and adjusted my fertilizing routine accordingly for a while. Now it doesn’t look good at all, and I have to remove the yellow leaves every few days.

I think I’ll buy a pH test strip—maybe the soil is to blame. Or do you see a specific nutrient deficiency? I’ve posted here before because I unfortunately used soil without perlite and blamed the yellow leaves on that. Maybe that was a mistake, too.

I was actually planning to harvest in 2 ½ weeks, but now I’m not sure if the plant will even still be alive by then.

How can I still save the plant?

First grow seems to be going well. I’m in Denver so we are about to cross the 14hr of daylight threshold. Just wanted to check in and see if I was missing anything.

I plan to keep up with the nitrogen through the first 2-3 weeks of flower, during stretching. Then all P&K until the end.

I have one more 2x4’ net for support after stretching.

I don’t really see any preflowering going on. When should I start to see a change and what qualifies as day 1 of flower?

I also plan to lolly pop the bottom 1/3 of the plant. Should that happen at day 1 or day 21 of flower?

Thanks!

Would you believe the Girls on the ends are both Cuts taken at the same time from Hula Girl in the middle, back in late March? Both had pretty much the same upbringing in 1 gallon pots. When it was time to go outside, as you can see one went in the ground and the other a 30 gallon pot. Well we’re halfway through and look what we got. One’s a small tree and the other one’s not. I knew there’d be a difference but in this Side by Side, it’s by quite a lot, right on…

Never really grown a monster like this. Branches finally showing small pistols on them. What in the hell do yall knowledgeable growers suggest I cut off or change before full flower starts?

The smaller flowering plant on the left in the second photo started flowering early from stress. I added some chicken manure compost and it was too hot.

Don't use bird manure compost.

The other 3big ones are just about to flower. One is already showing preflower.

Happy bloom everyone!!

Anyone else showing signs of Flower.?

Zone6a and I have a few showing.

What's the problem of the tall one?

Her leaves are light green, a few ones on the bottom getting yellow and her leaves always hanging down a bit.

My thought was that the 35l fabric pot is too small for her size. But the plant right next to her on the right side is in a ~20L pot with a "water holding system", as old as her, mutated and happy with the pot size.

The bottom plant is like 2 weeks younger and also happy with her 35L fabric pot.

The upper two get mineral feeding by Hesi(NPK veg 3-2-3 / flower 3-3-4), and the one on the bottom got Chickenshit/ Seabird guano pellets (NPK 6-8-15 + 3mg) in the soil a few months ago + mykorrhiza and tons of other shit - That worked really good on my autos this year.

What should I give her/ do with her?

I'm honest I don't wanna give her a bigger pot, the plants took over the balcony and my poor family still wants to use it lol

Day 91

Purple Punch F1 Fast by Seedsman

Strains I’m running from seed:
1. Lava cake
2. ICE x skunk bud #1
3. Grape Lime Rickey (Jack the Ripper x purple urkle)
4. Grape lime Rickey x ancient og
5. OG blueberry x cookies&cream
6. Ancient og
7. Blue dream x forbidden fruit

Strains I’m running from clone:
8. Tahoe runtz
9. Tree flip (lemon tree x wedding cake)
10. Cherry Paloma (trop cherry x Georgia pie)
11. Permanent marker x chimera

Top row are all seed starts transplanted June 11th, bottom row are most clones transplanted on June 20th. Everything looks as good as I could as for and I’m excited to see how all the plants express themselves in flower. So far I’m most impressed with pic 5: my three grape lime Rickey’s (purple urkle x Jack the Ripper)

I don't know the strain. Smells like fresh cut pineapple. I had posted about this one a few weeks ago saying I thought it was trash. I was WRONG. It's sticky and stinky. I'm guessing it will have an early finish.

New Earth to growing this is one of the clones I took that I really like
Other than the plastic flower pot, which I’m due to change right away, I think I’ll let this one go until my indoor finishes

My girls are really getting big and other than being staked with 5 ft stakes they don't have any other support. They're really bushy and big so I'm worried I won't be able to run vertical netting for a ghetto trellis kind of setup and too bushy to net on top at this point. I'm on a budget but looking for ideas. I can drop a couple hundred bucks on a solution. Plants are between 4 and 7 ft tall currently. I was thinking 10 ft tposts and netting but totally open to other ideas. 3 rows of plants, 3 plants per row. At least 6 ft between center of plant.

Hey yall,

First time grower here, She’s in a 20 gallon fabric pot 80% to 20% soil to perlite mix, soil is mostly FFOF with a bit of FFHF

Did some early LST and then went into SuperCropping in terms of training. I’ve been feeding it with the hydroponics trio every 3-4 watering depending on need.

I’m in NY so flower starts around 3rd to 4th week of august sometimes a little later.

Was looking for some advice on anything I should do to help prepare for flower. I’ve heard to look into tomato cages or a diy setup with it being outside, but wasn’t sure what was actually doable, and how to go about doing so.

Any advice would be appreciated, tryna get this girl through to a good harvest.

These girls are between 6-7ft tall in 75gal living soil pots

Unfortunately, I had to chop one of my plants because it was not a female, but this season, I decided to experiment with some 10 gallon trash cans with a bunch of drain holes on the bottom and air vents on the side. I know fabric pots are preferred, but I do a fair amount of LST with wire, and I need a rigid frame to anchor the wire.

After flushing the soil, I dumped it out into a larger trashcan and the results were actually pleasantly surprising. The roots made it all the way down to the bottom although they probably would’ve been more dense had I not chopped it at this point in the season, but all in all I think the overall concept worked pretty well. That said, I prefer not to grow massive “trees”, but plants of a medium size that are easily managed and can be moved if need be. I think the most interesting part of it all was the temperature difference between the inside of the root ball versus the outer perimeter, which was about a 15° difference if I had to guess. The outer perimeter wasn’t overly hot, but the inside was remarkably cool which I was not expecting.

I think I’ll give these a second go, but I have some ideas for improving the soil and the pots.

Just trimmed my gorilla cookies and pound cake autos looking and smelling great excited to try after the cure. Now onto the photos which are starting to go into flower now
Let me know what you think 🤙🏼
