Yeah, that's what puzzles me. How to tell the difference between a 'condition' that needs to be corrected (a deficiency or excess) and the plant just doing what it wants to do. The fact that you've grown in high sun without purpling suggests it's something in my technique. I only add nutrients once in a 90-day grow, but perhaps my homemade "supersoil." is overly dosed or unbalanced in some way.
Just seemed like you were overwhelmed by my reply and input .....but either way don't trust any one person with your garden ...if your going to apply something to your garden make sure you several opinions and then do your own homework .....well known member doesn't mean shit on here just remember that ...just don't get overwhelmed or bothered by people's input ....and last but not least since you are a newbie if suggest you start a detailed journal on what you learn and do to each of your plants and grows ....I've had one for years and I still refer to it and add to it every year ......just remember nobody cares about your grow as much as you do .....and not all advice is good just do your homework and use the kiss method to begin with. Good luck that's my two pennies
Its not unusual for outside soil grows to only get water for the entire grow. I did it myself last year with an Australian Blue Sativa (in a pot). It did suffer from some Mag def in the end but made it to harvest. Gorilla growers often dont add anything either (and some rarely water due to not seeing their plot for a month or more). Is an amazing plant that wants to grow and we over think it sometimes.
True that lol.
Agreed on the journal. I keep a 'strains' spreadsheet to track durations and outcomes for each plant, as well as a running narrative of nutrient applications and similar events.
