I'll give it a little CalMag next feeding.

The plant is about 4 1/2 months old now. I started it inside when we still had snow on the ground so maybe the plant is just showing its age?

Yours, I wouldn't worry to much about. I was saying the other guy needed mag.

Can you take a better pic and let me see the whole plant? It would help.

I'll post one up tomorrow I'm at my girl's house.

So..the last couple days aphids have decided my plants look tasty. Pulled like 10 off as well as about 3 nymphs.

Like I said, overall they look good. To me it looked like they needed some mag. If they are perking up then that's a good thing.

As for feeding, what ate you using? You said crab shell, are you running organic? If so, top dress with some fresh worm castings and compost.

Okay so the yellowing leaves still seems to be ongoing.

Worse on one plant the other just has a few still yellowing. I've upped my nutes since I last posted

3 tsp Biothrive Grow
1 tsp of Bio Weed
1 tsp of Bio Root
1 tsp of Diamond Black
1 tsp of CaMag+
-Per gallon of water which with nutes is ph'd at ~6.8

The soil was drying out pretty good yesterday and today when I watered them was bone dry. The leaves in the second pic turned from green to a lime/yellow almost overnight.

Any ideas whats going on?
Soil ph is about 7 after adding the crushed up pelletized lime on top of the soil a week and a half ago


I dont know have a clue whats going on because my plants are still continuing to grow pretty quickly.

Anyone? This is kind of urgent. These leaves turned yellow overnight.

Could cold stress cause this? The last week nighttime temps gave been in the range of 50-55 one night it dipped down to 48.
Last nights low was 51.

Somebody? I havent been adjusting regular water PH either but I found that 2.5ml of distilled white vinegar in a gallon works to adjust down to about 6.5 so the next watering I'll be making sure to make those adjustments beforehand.
Straight out of the tap ph is 7.5.

Does it look like a PH issue or a root problem?
Theyre both in 6 gallon pots so them being root bound seems like a less likely cause.

IME: leafs that are dropped by the plant, will turn banana yellow, veins and all and fall off super easy. like I just make an adjustment and they will fall.

So its a normal thing?
Another theory I had was that maybe they aren't getting light at the bottom of the plant so they're dying off.
I'm just concerned because leaves about halfway up my girls are showing the same symptoms.
Healthy green to lime to a patchy green and yellow to fully yellow.

I've had a few aphids on my plants but neem has kept them from getting established so I doubt it has anything to do with pests.

But yeah. They're banana yellow stems, veins, and all. Those of them that are fully yellow will pull right off without any effort just a gentle pull amd they come right off without any "wound" on the main stem

you might have a little something going on, but I think she might be ready for a bigger pot.

let her dry out really good, and feed her. I don't see to much issue, being out door in all. if that was in door: I might open a case.

Gave her a good feeding today. I don't thi m I have the cash to upgrade to bigger pots right now but I definitely have enough soil. I transplanted them less than a month ago from 2.5 gallon pots so I hope thats not it just yet.

I really wish I knew what they were. Best guess is white rhino or strawberry cough.
There were only two seeds in the bag and theyre gorgeous plants. Great symmetry and probably 10 good bud sites on each one. One is a mutant or something. Its had problems since I started it but its still keeping pace with the healthiest one.

Well I upgraded my pot situation again. 14 gallon recycle bin I cleaned out and drilled some holes for drainage in the bottom and a fish pond waterfall container thing (don't know whats its called) that holds about 25 gallons. Safe to say I shouldn't need a repot for either between now and harvest.
Afterwards I gave them a half gallon of ph'd water each to moisten the new soil.

Will yellow leaves that are still on the plant recover?

@Southernboy819, Will yellow leaves that are still on the plant recover?

No

I figured the ones that were yellowed but not to the point of falling off would gain their color back.

Heres hoping repotting will be enough. I really wish I would have ph'd my water before watering all this time.

I guess next grow I won't be starting seeds in march. Too much time for things to go wrong..I've got another two seedlings in the same 2.5 gallon pots my other plants were in before repotting. One is doing great after 3 weeks and is about 5 inches tall getting its second set of true leaves the other not so great at only about 2 inches tall and just now getting its first set of 5 finger leaves. It seems to have just stopped growing in the last week with its cotyledons starting to brown and die.
