Hi guys just wondering I'm 4 weeks into flower with some big ladies 30 gallon pots they were veged for around 2 months and sit about 5 foot 8 inches in height they are looking pretty good buds are decent but all the leaves are looking a little pale lime green i use Advanced Nutrients for my nutes i been doing a little reading and wondering if adding some form of top soil at this stage of the grow would have any benefit to my ladies ?

Kind regards gents.

I go by what they recommend and I personally have only used Bat Guano with good results. I also mix it in good in the top few inches of soil ....I do this once during flowering.


Edit: only bat guano to top dress ....I use several of the DTE products in the soil initially.

I'm a huge fan of DTE. I'm actually in the same town so I'm kind of spoiled that way. Odds are your yellowing is from an N deficiency and you need to be careful about over doing the N in flower.

Most organic sources of N that you might use for a top dress are not immediately available and either won't help much at this point or would just be wasteful since most of it wouldn't even be available to the plant before it finishes. On the other hand most organic N sources that are more immediately available are easy to over do and I wouldn't recommend using them as a top dress halfway through flowering.

I think the safest thing you could do is calmag and then a flowering and veg formula in equal parts our leaning toward the flowering just a bit.
