Need To Correct Yellowing Leaves Throughout Flowering (Week 3 - Week 6)

Make sure you're giving them some Calcium supplements bro. I'm not denying that you CAN grow weed with Miracle Gro all purpose, I just know for a fact that you'd grow better herb with a more dialed in nutrient regiment. 20-20-20 all throughout the plants life cycle means you're giving it a lot of stuff it doesn't need at all times. That's a lot of built up salts and waste sitting in your soil. Your girls deserve better.

Salts don't build up when you water, feed, water, feed etc...

I've tried the bloom and saw zero difference.. I'm not bullshitting you man.. Try the 20-20-20 start til finish.. You'll never go back. I've never supplemented cal or mag..i grow led indoors and outdoors under the sun..no greenhouse. No supplementing any bloom booster or cal or mag..just good ol jacks classic 20-20-20..

I got turned onto it on this very site almost a decade ago.

I understand that you can finish a plant with an all purpose fertilizer like Miracle Gro. I'm in it for profit though bro tbh. I know that you're pleased with your results, but until you compare your yields with Jack's to something that's more fine tuned to Cannabis, you might just have the wool pulled over your eyes. At least give the girls some Calcium supplements since Jack's has none. It's a really crucial micronutrient and I'm sure that adding it to your feed will increase yield and quality. I live in Humboldt, and growing weed is life. I'm not dogging on you, but if maximizing yields and quality was as easy as giving your girls one thing throughout their whole life cycle, their wouldn't be such a thing as professional horticulturists. I could live off of protein shakes if I wanted to, but that doesn't mean it's the best nutrient lineup for me! Trust science. Try harder. Give your girls everything that they need when they need it. Start with Calcium. You have to wipe the crust out of your eyes and realize that Jack's all purpose is chemically almost exactly the same as Miracle Gro. Look at the ingredients man.

Ofcourse they do. Do you flush with every watering?
Salts do not build up if you feed properly...salts build up when you let your medium dry out and salts fall out of solution, thats how people can run 2.0-3.0 EC and still have completely healthy plants. Have you ever grown in coco or rockwool before?

I grew for a living for 5 years..I know for profit growing.. The guys who put me on Jacks classic were emerald triangle boys.. Stop making horseshit excuses and just try it... I'm betting you love it..and you can toss all that overpriced snake oil in the trash.

Bro, dont you know cannabis plants grow way better when you feed them 10 different bottles with cartoon characters on them from the hydro store? lol

I can't condone any type of fuckery where you don't give your plants any calcium. Not even a little bit. It's a mistake bro. No argument

Nobody who's serious about horticulture in Humboldt uses Jack's/Miracle Gro unless they're in high school and half retarded. Grow up.

I'd love to see some pics of your final product with Jack's.

I always let my soil dry out, so dumping a bunch of shit in my soil that the plants don't need isn't going to work for me. Good talk.

Again.. I let my soil get bone dry as well .. Salts don't build up if you feed then water then feed then water etc..

Lol..youre a moron.. I give up
I gave you a side by side ingredients comparison. What more can I do or say? I live in Humboldt, we don't use all purpose fertilizers from start to finish out here. I think it's badass that it works for you! Don't let the label fool you though, it's literally Miracle Gro. Nothing wrong with that but let's call a spade a spade And bro, for the love of ganja give your girls some Calcium.

I have a few plants outside and half of them I'm feeding with the Fox Farm nute plan and the other half I'm experimenting with Jack's 10-30-20 in combination with 20-20-20. I used the 20-20-20 all through veg and have been gradually working in the 10-30-20 in increased increments as the flowering progresses. The bloom booster seems to be working alright and am currently at a ratio of 3-1. I like green plants while in veg, but a little yellowing toward the bottom is no big deal. By the time flowering is about finished, I want the plant eating itself, and have ALL fan leaves yellowing,

Tons of professional horticulturalists use jacks. Idk why you Keep comparing it to MG, there’s literally only 4 ingredients that are the same,

Agreed! It's a natural process. Definitely wouldn't be wanting to give my girls mass amounts of N during flower.

Tons of professional horticulturists use only Jack's start to finish? Hmm....sounds odd. You mean the 4 main ingredients? Lol
