Why so pale? New strain I'm trying

[trichomes]

I have other plants in same soil, same nutes, that are dark green, this looks way too pale, any thoughts replied are urged!! thank you all!

I have a couple strains that are more "hungry" than others.

I'd say she wants some more N, but I'm not an expert.

Can you give more info?

Mine got a bit of organic N and Epsom salt (it started getting lighter until it got yellow); got better but has remained a shade lighter than its sister from the same seedstock. I've always watered it with a bit of N ever since, but it's still lighter. I might be more aggressive next time.

Just don't over do it. Giving a plant already in a form of shock a double shot of nutes can do more harm than good.

Making sure your Ph is spot on is paramount.

Whats up trich my man.

Its got slightly too much phosphorous and wants a decent bit more N.

If I was in your shoes id hit it with a good dose of a compost tea. with a touch of either molasses or kelp. Or just top the soil with some compost and add a small bit of extra K for the next few waterings.

Keep in mind every plant, even to an extent the same exact clones of a mother plant can have different needs. If its clones its usually because the soil makeup is different for one reason or another.

I have a mental tally of every plant and i feed nutes in different doses to each one dependant on its desires. Yours clearly dosent want more phosphorous for now but does want N and a tiny bit of K. So let it have it. just dont go overboard it may take weeks to get her dialed in to a perfect green again.

I hear ya, man. Thanks a lot. I was suspecting it but at the same time I give my plants the littlest amount of castor cake and wait a good few days to start thinking about giving any again. They just don't ask for a lot of water, is all. But I'll have that Ph sorted out. Cheers!

Thanks Jc! I put it in the ground, I like how you can peel the SmartPot off with ease.
