Plants That Do not Yellow During Flowering?

Hello Friends, Back to pick your brains some more. I am needing some understanding whats going on with my plants and soil.

In 2009 I grew some G-13 outdoors. During the flowering peroid I notice there never was any yellow leafs even up until harvest. This was from the plants in the ground only. The same strains grown in pots yellowed out like normal as you will see in the pics below. For 3 years now growing in my backyard soil none of my plants yellowed any leafs at all during flower like normal.

I have figured out that my back yard natural soil is very good. we all know that 2 bags of Fox Farms Soil is not going to grow a 5lb plant like this. The soil is a natural worm bed and has crazy amounts of worms.

My question have to do more with wondering. We all know that the plants stop using N from the soil when flowering. Thats my queston, Or do they. In this case the plant must be pulling all it's N from the soil leaving the leafs on the plant solid dark green. The plant in the pic was only 2 bags of FF soil in a prety small hole. I used Tiger Bloom and Big Bloom during flower. In some of the pics you can see the small hole they were in.

Not saying feed your plants N during flower at all. I just wanted to bring this up and get some of your thoughts on it. As I cannot change anything for it is my backyard soil. Nor do I want to change anything. I just wanted to hear some thoughts on the no yellow leafs during flower and whats going on in the plants mind. Also if the plant does not use N from the soil during flower, Then why or how did the plants not yellow out?

As always here is some pics. They show what I am saying pretty well. And thanks again friends.

Your thoughts?

Jesus that last pic. Take me their.

First off nice grow. I like the pic of you with your arms out,it really brings the size into context. In regards to your inquiry,plants do use N during flower but not at the high levels of veg growth. Soil should contain 10% worm castings if not already present to aid in microbal development and provide N to the plant. I use equal amounts of bloom and grow food for the 1st two weeks of flower then go to straight bloom food. Some strains respond very well to this and some don't really care but has never made my harvests worse and it has made some double and triple depending on strain. Hope this helps

wow... this is fucking amazing..

Thanks for the reply. The problem is I do not know what in my backyard natural soil. There is lots and lots of worms though. I think my thin backyard is a natural worm bed. It has concrete on all sides. So I am thinking it's like large worm bed over 40 so years. I even have them coming out of my patio cracks like mad when it rains. I dug a hole and used 2 bags of FF to grow these plants. So thats telling my the backyard soil did most all the growing of this size.

The thin yard after harvest day also showing the small holes I used.

they still use nitrogen during flower, just not quite as much after you get past the stretch phase of flowering.Youve grown some amazing plants in those pics. I wish i could grow outside. Good job either way.

Take me "there" you mean. just letting you know, if i used the wrong usage i'd want someone to correct me.

Thanks for that.

yes, as I understand more on what they use during different parts of they're life cycle, I've found that pot plants use alot more nitro during flower than we want to beleive for some reason. The plants in the pots turned yellow simply cause the plant used upo all the nitro in the bucket, and the ones in the ground had it and used it. Part of the reasom we get 5 lbs out of plants in the ground, and not in the ones in the pots. It's not solely because of the root space, it's partly because it ran out of food during flower. If the plants are fed properly, they don't have to turn yellow at the end to be clean and burn properly, like we've been told so often, it's more about them not being overfed up to the end.
Last year I had Goo plants in those big rows, and 1 in a kiddie pool, and the one in the kiddy pool turned yellow more than the rest, and waaay quicker. It also yielded only 2 pounds instead of the 5lb average on the ones in the rows.
