    Yellow Tops Every Grow

    75 degrees, 45% RH, lights about 18-20inches. It’s just the weak lime green leaves that have a lil taco to them. the healthier looking ones have no tacoing at all

    Yellow Tops Every Grow

    Ya I’m pretty sure it starts at the base and mores towards the tips. Just new growth. But I wonder is root cause high PH/bad absorption?

    Yellow Tops Every Grow

    I’m using a 30 gallon bed that I put 4 plants in with cover crops. I don’t typically water til runoff that was just a little bit for me to do my PH test. Here are some photos! The bloom booster is Dr. Earth flower girl. Just put some on a week or 2 ago. But the discoloration is just the tops...

    Yellow Tops Every Grow

    So actually my R So actually my R.O. Water comes out at a PH of 6, so I haven’t had to add any PH down or anything to get it there. It just seems strange that if I constantly put water in at a PH of 6 it comes out so much higher as runoff.

    Yellow Tops Every Grow

    I do i didn’t mention this earlier, but I do feed some roots organic 2-.1-2 liquid ferts every few waterings. My regimen is water, compost tea, water, liquid nutes. I add compost, earth worm castings, bloom booster, azomite to the top soil throughout the grow.

    Yellow Tops Every Grow

    I’m using roots organic soil, I don’t normally water til run off but when I suspected the PH was off I did so, in order to test it. I’ve been using RO so I don’t have to wait for the Chloramine to evaporate out, and I thought it was supposed to be better. But fair enough I’ll provide some pics ;)

    Yellow Tops Every Grow

    Hey all, I have pretty much the same issue every grow. Plants start out looking great, all green and beautiful. Once the stretch starts and during the transition to bloom, a bunch of the tops look weak, flimsy, and kind of yellow/lime. I even got rid of all my soil and started over with fresh...

    Yellow Tops on my Blue Dreamz

    Well friends, consider this a case closed. Followed the advice above, added some compost tea, foliar spray, added some Fe and Mn in my last watering and have been doing foliar applications daily, and the tops are looking green and healthy again. Just switched to flower in the nick of time as...

    Yellow Tops on my Blue Dreamz

    if I were to just go HAM on the compost teas and what not - shouldn’t the PH thing fix itself? Or should I start to PH my water to 6.3 and try and push it back down to where it need to be?

    Yellow Tops on my Blue Dreamz

    man you really showed up with the advice.. I can’t thank you enough, and neither can the girls. I feel like I had a less severe issue in my last grow, still FFHF, and blue dream is supposed to have quite the appetite so maybe it just burned through the micros too fast. I ordered the Manganese...

    Yellow Tops on my Blue Dreamz

    Although 64 tops in a little under a 3x3 tent... should be literally packed if they make it through this. Most the tops look flimsy and weak, long stems. Hope my girls get their strength back so I can flip them soon... they are getting almost TOO big

    Yellow Tops on my Blue Dreamz

    7.2 is a pretty normal PH for organic is it? I thought that a healthy soil system would get itself around 7 or so. But also it seems strange that the symptoms would just start now as the plant is getting massive - also seems questionable that there’s any kind of “deficiency” in my soil as I have...

    Yellow Tops on my Blue Dreamz

    so I applied a Compost Tea today fed the girls with it - added some azomite, EWC, compost, and Kelp Meal to the tea so hoping that gives them a little kickstart. Ordered some iron sulfate and Manganese sulfate online - any direction as far as how I should apply those products and in what...

    Yellow Tops on my Blue Dreamz

    I have some of the "Earth Juice" PH Down. But I feel like it can't be the PH issue because my plants have looked super healthy until now and my watering practices have remained the same. I'm brewing up some compost teas and bought some Liquid Fish, Iron Sulfate, and Manganese Sulfate. I'm gonna...

    Yellow Tops on my Blue Dreamz

    They are just very “yellow” and limey looking, one plant has it worst than the other. I feel like originally the right plant had these symptoms and now the other has it. Possibly the plants are too close together and the roots are battling it out? There’s plenty of soil for 2 plants so figured...

    Removing growth tips - mainlining

    So while I’m still in Veg - my belief is if I strip the tips below the node which I’ve topped - more energy will be diverted to the topped node - is this conceptually correct? I wouldn’t want any colas below the mains which I’m creating

    Removing growth tips - mainlining

    The first picture shows a top that has just been topped - you can see it has other growth tips on it. Debate is if I should remove those growth tips since I believe I want all the flowers on the main tops - which don’t even exist yet???
