    Yellowing bottom leaves in veg

    Does anyone have a top dressing recipe using alfalfa pellets? I had fish bone meal lined up and the deal went sour so I'll keep looking for that but in the meantime, I have earth worm castings aka humus de lombriz and can use that until I find the fish bone meal. I'm not sure how much of these...

    Hi Bobrown14, how are you doing today my friend? A friend that helps me to grow weed is a friend indeed! When I was a kid, we went to a place in upstate NY called Gaslight Village. Do you know where that is (was)? This was over 50 years ago so I'm not sure if it even exists anymore. If I...

    Hi Bill. I'm doing fine today although it's been extremely hot here the last few days. How's the bathroom painting coming along? I've got a kitchen soffit to paint this week myself. I have to stick with Emilya's method since I'm committed to it and it's worked well so far. I don't know how...

    The soil or the plant? I'm using Emilya's wet/dry watering schedule. The bottom portion of the pots are still wet and the top centers where the root zone is gets moistened to keep it from drying out. The plants are in direct sun for 12+ hours so the top soil layer looks dry but the center...

    Good observation @nivek! Yes, the first plant picture is of the one that did eventually reveg but became what I think @Bill284 termed a monster. Lots of branches with short inter-nodes. She eventually began growing again but did not take off like the other. I decided not to top her because...

    Good morning bobrown14. Thank you for this additional information. So EWC stands for worm castings? I wasn't sure what the acronym meant. I do have worm castings on hand as that is a popular product here and I used a lot in my substrate mix. I will go ahead and do as you say and make the...

    I will try that since a Geoflora type organic product is not available here, only liquid chemical nutrients. Do you have a recipe to make the EWC?

    I love you folks! Patience is the key and I agree. However, I've had a few bad experiences with growing because I waited too long to address the issue and ended up losing a few. That thought is now always in the back of my head as I don't want to add one single thing more to my list of...

    Yellowing bottom leaves in veg

    I'm losing lower leaves relatively quickly the last few days so I'm anxious to nip this in the bud. I'm thinking there might be multiple factors in play here. The last few days it's been very hot and also very windy which forced the ladies into the greenhouse that even when covered in shade...

    I understand, thanks. Here is a picture of a leaf that just fell off that can maybe provide more insight into the problem.

    Thanks again bobrown14. Yes, the tops do look dry but I've been spraying them in the center so the dryness is right on the surface and that is because the sun is extremely intense so it drys it out fast. I've been following Emilya's watering schedule so I'm trying to make sure the original...

    Here are a few pictures of what is happening. I hope they're enough to see the problem but I can take more if they're not. Many thanks to all the helpers!
