you seem like you really like organics I'd highly recommend you go read the first two pages of the link I posted in the first post, there is some amazing things happening, and the results I'm getting are kinda insane! no one can really explain it all, I've been trying for about a year! but bottom line once it's set up, u add a splash of em1, to water and top the rez when it drys, nothing else! form veg to flower! and the results speak for themselves! as I said first 2 pages and u can have your mind blown lol
I can’t believe your soil is freaking 5 years old!!

So after reading all your other posts on what you got going on your using em1 to feed the soil and your wondering if you need to increase it to stop the yellowing or trying to see if it’s just the plant doing it’s thing. I’d say it’s doing it’s thing and they look amazing. I grow in organic soil that only needs a feed 4 weeks into flower I grow in 7 gallon fabric pots and I veg for 3-4 weeks I only use water then once I’m 4 weeks into flower I feed my soil with buffaloam. Your on a whole other level my friend looks amazing!
no buddy, I'm not trying to increase the amount of em1 I use, that is fine, I'm increasing the size of my pot! bigger pot hold more soil, more soil, more nutrients!
my issue was I never planed to make 1 plant cover a 4x4, it was only supposed to cover a 2.5 x 2.5, but it grow so fast and so big, that's what I ended up with, bc of this it was way to big for the pot! so I just basically drank that thing dry, lol that's why easy fix is a bigger pot!

go read man, I busted my ass to make that to explain everything I do and how I do it, and everything I know about it! not being mean, but I did that bc it's a lot to explain! and having to answer the same questions every day about the same thing gets old! I promise 99% of the questions ur asking all get answered in a. 20 min read maybe less!

I'm curious to know what time does the average strain start to lose or kill off its leaves? let's say for example we have an 8 week strain! In organics is what I need to know.....

... I understand all strains are different I'm just looking for a good general time frame! (if you need a specific strain then j.w. gg4).......

... which brings me to my point of this thread, I need to understand as best as possible, when most ladies like to shed some colors or begin to drink their leave dry!....
.... and weedfreak, I also covered everything you said in above post, I want to know this for my next round, just to know if me moving to bigger size sip will solve my slight issue! I also said I know it's strain dependent! and I also have no problem about when to harvest! and never mentioned that! as a matter of fact I belive I also posted in harvest in 15 days, I know the exact date bc it's a clone, which was also said!

like I said not trying to be mean, but there just isn't any way either of you 2 read the post!
I read the whole thread and answered your questions, as highlighted above, appropriately as follows :

Why are you worried about leaf color? It means nothing and is strain dependant. I have some that yellow and drop leaves starting about 2 weeks before finish, some that go purple/red and don't drop any leaves and some that stay green to the end. The plant is only going to use what it needs at that stage of life in good soil. Watch the buds for swell and receding pistils, then check trichomes. Until you've run the same plant a couple times and know it's cycle, that's really the only way to get an idea.
Maybe you'd be better off specifically asking how peoples GG4 finishes, rather then starting with vague questions and only mentioning the strain as an afterthought? Have you ran this cut before or are you going off some arbitrary flowering date?

Also, have you figured out the S. I. P. isn't big enough, or do you still want to know. There seems to be some confusion in what you wrote..

.... now with that said. I still have some changes to make! I found out the size sip I am using isn't big enough(can't hold enough soil) to carry my lady from veg to harvest....

... , I want to know this for my next round, just to know if me moving to bigger size sip will solve my slight issue!... .
I'm trying to help but with vague and contradicting information it's difficult.

From all my research and growing over the years, in an ideal organic world plants don't naturally die off until they have completed growing, which would come after they are no longer capable of reproducing. While cannabis plants may cannibalize themselves if they don't have enough nutrients, that isn't your goal.

well I guess I'll find out first hand on the next cycle! I've known for a while this sip wasn't big enough to support that monster, maybe next cycle I never see a single yellow leaf! guess we will find out in about 2 months lol
