MG tends to be too strong for MJ or the fertilizer ratio is not ideal. A lot of it tends to be slow release, which you do not want. For example, that Tomato feed you mentioned is 18-18-21. Way to hot of fertilizer. I’ve given you the knowledge of what to look for. Use that to find a...

You need more nitrogen. No need to go overboard though. Fertilizer along the lines like 10-8-8 for example. Do not use miracle grow and avoid slow release formula. Fox Farms Grow Big is a good example. Use a couple times and observe. Once your plant is back to being a little more green, start...

My 1,500 ladybugs hard at work getting those thrips! :blsmoke::hump:

I'm experiencing the same symptoms, however my yellowing started at the bottom and is climbing upwards. I'm a little ahead of you in flowering. This happened with my last outdoor grow as well. I've already tried giving my gals more N, but that hasn't stopped the yellowing. I've checked the...

Thats the PH of my tap water (shrug). My plants need water so often, that manually adjusting the PH down is too labor intensive and I don’t have the $$ or ambition to buy/make an automated system. From what I’ve read, the soil acts as a buffer for the high PH and since I tested the soil (7), I...

Actually, I can see where there may be some indication of a MG def, in terms of the chlorosis between the veins of the leaf and some browning along the margins. I think what is missing though are brown spots and that the whole leaf ends up with chlorosis rather uniformly in the end. On a...

Here’s a snapshot of the water quality report from my area. The water here seems to have moderate to moderate high amount of both magnesium and calcium. That would explain why the water here is so hard :wall:

Yep, used them as well as creating my own with tangle foot. It trapped some, but created more of a nuisance with leaves and other things getting stuck to them. I’m hoping the ladybugs I released will deal with them, at least to a manageable level ;-)

Thanks for the response Rob Roy. I was under the impression that by using tap water, it is uncommon to encounter a cal / mag deficiency due to the tap water having adequate amounts of those minerals in it. What’s your thoughts on that?

Thanks for the response so far. I definitely have thrips, despite several applications of neem and spinosad. I bought and released several hundred lady bugs to help out with the issue, since the spinosad doesn’t seem to be doing it and I don’t want to spray with neem this far along into...

Thanks for the response! :D

Hey all, I’ve noticed that a few of my Hindu Skunk plants are developing yellow leaves, starting at the base of the plant and working its way up to about mid-level now. I am fairly certain it is N deficiency (tested the soil and the results came back deficient) and it fits the description for...

I netted off my plants this year to avoid the bigger insects. I still got thrips because they could get through the netting. However, I released ladybugs to deal with them and the netting keeps them in so they have no where to go and can focus on eating the bad guys. I also released nematodes...

White balls tend to be tobacco moths laying eggs. Can't see clear enough in the pic though to confirm.

If your finding caterpillars this late into flowering, chances are you have many eggs deposited on your buds and just as likely, more caterpillars in the core of your buds that are depositing frass and eating away. It was a learning lesson for me during my last outdoor grow when I lost almost...

My plants have been grown outside in 100F+ heat in direct sun and they are happy campers. Just got to keep up with watering. I am using a mosquito net to keep most bugs out (mainly budworms). Released some ladybugs recently to heal deal with thrips and the net keeps them in while keeping...

Well, the girls have started to plump up with buds and no sign of any budworms thus far. The added bonus of the mosquito net is not only keeping most bad insects out, but keeping predatory insects in! I've been dealing with thrips and no matter how much spinosad or neem I use, they are still...

Hey Dunphy, thanks for responding. I'm refering to the node spacing. Basically, I topped the plants for the final time (one has 16 tops and the other one 8 ) and each one of those tops grew like 5" before another node appeared. I'm just wondering if thats normal for mainlining, for the strain...

Budworms aint getting to my crop this year...:hump:
