seems like its using up its nitrogen and maybe you have dropped this from your feedings since they have hit flower. may want to give them a dosage and see if that helps, though they may be past recovering. i always thought that the fan leaves should always start yellowing since it is them using there last stored sugars and such but some growers successfully keep all green till the harvest date, Genuity!!!

it would also be pretty hard to get the velcro to line up right every time you go up there unless you can crawl on top, plus it would take some time every day to get it on. thats why i suggested just doing it on the one side.
You think I should only velcro one side?
I was thinking about having it always installed over 1/4 of the roof to have a good starting point. That way no re-alignment would be necessary.

When they went into flowering I started using dynagro bloom instead of a grow formula. Maybe I should use the grow every other watering?

I re-potted the afgoo the 2nd pic today, as she was root bound. idk it being root bound will cause yellowing?

if its cut to the right size it can be pulled fairly tight and shouldnt be affected by wind or other things. i just think that putting 2X4s up there and velcroing each one would be a lot of work, plus each plank to attach the velcro too each day would suck IMO. i dont think you need to do a quarter just make it large enough to cover the whole top and just roll it out when you need to cover it and then roll it up in the morning and tie it off on the side that it is permanently attached to. not sure if you need to do every other watering or just add a bit to your bloom to make sure they recieve some nitrogen.

One thing to consider is rain. The covering needs to have the ability to shed water without caving in. I was thinking of using pvc as bows, similar to the conestoga wagons. It would give a smooth surface to slide your panda film.

Is there a nitrogen only thing I can use?

I would have to see an example to understand I think....I just cant picture it for some reason.

I've seen pics of the outdoor European growers and they use the plastic covered pvc bows to cover their plants. Bows are on the ground and you could do the same thing in a shed. Just tall enough to cover the tallest ones and put them in the middle at the highest point of the bow.

The roof is a half octagon. any water would run off. The 4 sided roof is why I have trrouble with how to make a good cover. flat would be easy. prolly no rain coming soon here anyway though in Cali though.

Also the roof has metal cross members at every angle change

They cant seem to forecast 4 shit lately. Anyway rain isnt a bad thing is it? I troed so hard to cover my girls last rain a while back and gave up. The rain didnt bother them though after all.

The only problem with rain is mold. I live in the southeast with high humidity and mold damages the crops as bad as deer. I know the Northern Cal growers use visquine(sp) to protect against rain.

Hey bassman, if I understand right, you have a barn shaped roof. Maybe you should try a tarp system like a grain trailer uses. Fasten your panda sheet, or whatever, to the whole roofline so it covers the whole length of the roof. On the other end of your panda sheet (the bottom) you fasten a tube of some sort, preferably with some weight to it to keep the tarp taunt. Then you just roll up, and roll down.

Here's a vid that show's an automatic but it give an idea of how it works. 3:00 shows top view and 4:45 show the tarp in action.

Hope that helps.

The other problem with rain is it breaks the trichs from the buds that's why i don't attempt growing outside over here because it's always pissing down.
