Does she look ok?

I watered them all 2 nights ago and all the other ones pots are dry except this one who's furthest into flower. That and sometime between noon and 4 the whole yard stinks like some citrusy chemical. I've been paranoid of herbicide drift from the neighbor's farm so I'm freaking out a little.

I think it looks normal. the biggest and oldest shade leafs are being consumed by the plant because of rapid growth.
Its too early bro for plant that she consume fan leafes that are in upper part... if they start to consume
leafes they go progresive from bottom then up.. it doesnt happends suddenly on that part of plant
if they are not in late flowering stage..

Cant sees really good... but those intervenal clorosis is usually sign of Mg def..
Last watering had a full dose of Epsom salt.

I hope so... Still wondering why it isn't as thirsty as the rest with all the budding going on. Been 44 hours since watering and this is the only damp pot, rest need to get watered tonight. Too I'm guessing the citrus smell that got me all freaked out is a sign it's one of the Jack Herer(?) from what I read about the strain.

When you have Mg problems than also Calcium,Sulphor and microelements are good to give..

How is air circulation?? Do you aerate your feeds??

Sometimes people with overwatering create that anaerobic bacteries start to thrive,roots suffocate whithouth
oxygen and pot never dries properly after that.. but you could use then enzimes like Atazyme or any other
brand to help maintain root zone healtier,more oxygen and decomposing old dead roots that are party for
pathogens..

It's all organic with the amendments mixed into the soil and have been watering with a 275 gallon tank PH'd at 6. Other then a sprinkle of oyster shell powder and Epsom salt I hit them with a mix of potash, rock phosphate(just the ones in flower) and a basic 3-3-3 last week. I give them some worm casting tea about once a week also.

Some better pics also

And the tank has a 1k gallon per hour pond pump recirculating which does a good jobs aerating it seems, full of tiny bubbles..

Did you mulch with pure compost? I had to go break mine up and add perlite. I just watered too and the sun baked it into a hard crust and started depriving roots of oxygen. After breaking up the compost and mixing perlite the plants are praying to the ganja god's like a mfer like "thank you, we can breathe now".

I haven't been able to mulch them with new compost or amendments, I've been pushing this fractured toe pretty hard as it is. They are still on the original mix that's about 60% compost, black sandy clay and alot of perlite and amendments. The first one I posted a pic of though has been damp since I watered 2 nights ago and the soil isn't hard, can stick a finger down without much resistance.

That's weird bro. IDK. Mine were wet for like 5 days which was strange. They usually tell me they're thirsty after 2-3 days. I let them get super dry and now they are back to drinking like normal.

The other ones are pretty dry but I'm thinking of skipping tonight's watering all together to make sure they get enough dry time. Have you grown Jack Herer before? Smells like lemon Pledge cleaner lol had me wigging out.

That's a good idea. I can usually tell mine are thirsty when they stop praying slightly. Nah man. But I seen some dudes JH. It was huge like 10 feet wide and 8 feet high. His dumbass ain't put supports and it split during a downpour. Lost half his plant.

Yeah looking good man!

I’m growing a Jack Herer. Seed from i49 seed bank. She is one of my big plants.... I’m not smelling what your smelling though.... yet at least.

She is barely showing sex and is probably still in early stretch

Mine sure sounds a bit behind yours... seed bank says it’s fast flowering blah blah blah. But she’s gonna have to work into November I think!...

That looks pretty normal for this time of the year. I wouldn't worry about it too much. They look good, great job. I like to topdress with a bit of nitrogen a few weeks prior to flower, although I'm never really sure how much it helps. It seems like some plants just like to drop leaves more than others.
