So is it always droopy?

Now that the bottom leaves are turning yellow it's more droopy, but the other leaves are always spry.

 

[Weaselcracker]

I’d guess it’s from the small container size. As long as most of the growth looks healthy there’s probably not much that can be done about it. I don’t worry much about the bottom fan leaves turning yellow. It’s part of their job description to regulate the plant growth this way.
Make sure to get lots of runoff, at least some of the time, when you water/feed.

What does having a lot of run off mean? That it is just watered really well?

 

[Weaselcracker]

It means watering so much that the medium is completely saturated, then continuing to water, so that a fair amount runs out the bottom. This helps clear the medium of toxic nutrient buildup. I usually feed/water to runoff every time, or at least every second or third time.

The same as we don’t always eat everything on our plates at dinner, plants feed the same way and attempt to take what they want and leave some behind.
Once in a while it’s good to run a bunch of water through the pot before feeding normally.

 

[Groundtop]

She's getting there. Not sure how much longer she has. She still has quite a bit of white pistils.

 

[Groundtop]

@Weaselcracker I dont have a microscope like suggested to look at the crystals, but I would say it is near done. How many days you give her?

 

[Weaselcracker]

Oh no - nowhere near done. I don’t think she started actual flowering till late February so maybe is about 6 weeks in at most. Also I think she may be a little behind for whatever reason. So you want to wait at least two weeks before even thinking about that question again. I would flush the container well before next feeding in case that helps with the yellowing.

Been flushing her out the last 3 feedings. She hasn't had any nutes since then. Started noticing small burns around the edges of the leaves so I cut back.

All in all you think she is doing ok?

Buds are dense and the nugs are stickkkyyy

 

[Weaselcracker]

Yes. I think she should be feed though, as this would be prime feeding time at 2/3 or 3/4 of the way through flowering.

 

[Groundtop]

Seems she has a bit of an aphid problem. Not very many, I wiped off as many as I can, but I can see the white specs and I know those are nymphs.

Is it ok to spray cold water or water/soap on the buds?

I use water/soap for my outdoor plants and it seems to get rid of my aphids with no problem to the plant. (These are jalapenos, mind you)

@Weaselcracker any suggestions?

Btw plant nugs are super thick and heavy now. Even having a little bit of growth on my 2 main buds.

Pics to follow!

 

[Weaselcracker]

Probably a light spray is sort of ok. It’s been a long long time since I had to do any spraying. A hard spray kills the pistils but a gentle one should be ok (?) Do it in the dark period though.

I picked most of them off by hand. Crazy. I have outdoor plants on my balcony that I am growing, but my cannabis is inside and is NEVER out doors. Those little buggers are something else. I cross contaminated without knowing!
