Thanks, Emilya. Can you suggest a dosage to correct the potassium deficiency? We've got about a month of decent weather ahead so I feel pressed for time to get these plants fully budded! Simon

I tested the water for my first grow last year -- I think it was 6.7 or thereabouts. I've been feeding the cannabis the same diet as our tomatoes, which are flourishing.

These photos give a better idea of the extent of the yellowing, which mainly affects the upper part of the plant.

The light is quite intense right now so this photo tends to diminish the amount of yellowing you'd see if you stand next to the plant. I also notice that budding on the two yellowing plants is obviously less than the neighboring plants. At a distance both plants are quite a bit lighter in...

OK... I'll put on my boots and get some photos.

I've got a mix of Jack Herer and Critical Mass growing in soil. They've been flowering for a couple of weeks and I'm feeding them my "tonic" about every 7 days. This is a mix of calmag, molasses, kelp, and fish fertilizer. Three plants are now showing yellowing of the leaves and in two plants...

Two nights ago the temperature in the greenhouse was 43ºF and we had to have a fire in our kitchen cookstove. This has been a cool wet year but many of the vegetables (and weeds) are doing quite well. I now have all of my plants in soil in various parts of our gardens. My approach this year...

You are exactly correct -- all of the plants have now gone into reveg and are stretching out nicely, about 3 feet tall and bushed out. I'm optimistic now that I'll get a crop and if the weather holds into October it could be a good one. Thanks!

Although I keep telling myself the male plants simply have no place here it still hurts to have trashed two of them. I'll put the third Gramp's Meds in the ground and hope for the best. My next project is to figure out how to over-winter a couple of these confused clones. I'm looking for...

As Botanical Bondage said it is probably a re-veg quirk -- see my Journal for the full story.

Last year was my first grow and I never did get a "handle" on trichomes. Perhaps you could comment on this photo, which shows the unexpected early bud development on my Jack Herrer clones. I assume it shows trichomes because a smoke test of these premature buds tells me there is definitely...
