Hi all...really just my second real season growing outdoors in Portland Oregon and seeing some leaf issues And trying to identify the underlying issue...thx in advance for the help.
We set up 65 gallon smart pots last season and overwintered them....built a super soil recipe, had a good grow last year then remineralized and am using the same pots this year....going organic and have only fed with a fortified worm tea 3 times This season (but we soaked the plants in aerated tea)...worked a bunch of malted barley into the soil (also brewed in our teas) and just topdressed with worm castings and some malted rye. Plants started life as dispensary CLones we did low stress training on for couple of months before they went outside in mid May.
Seeing some leaf discoloration, saw this last year but it didn’t become widespread until late in flower and didn’t really seem to affect bud quality materially so we didn’t do anything about it but give a one time weak application of a fox farms PK booster thinking it was likely a deficiency in one of those nutrients (clearly just guessing)...seeing in only 2 of our 4 legal plants this year, still not too widespread. These two plants got a bit root bound before going outdoors, as did the other two that are doing fine, but they are definitely smaller than their sisters... we bottom water with a drip system that also feeds our vegetable garden which is thriving, weather has been cool but dry all season so no real moisture issues....
Think that’s most of the relevant info ..
