A new start, a new beginning for Orange Shovel's Outdoor Season '08

i am still trying to figure it out myself. anyone have any ideas? the temps here havent been that hot. maybe the roots are getting cooked? how can i prevent this
 
keep the soil moist? idk man ... since u can move them put them in partial shade for a week and see if they open up .. like find a way to where they wont get AS much sun but enough ... just what i'd probably try
 
yeah im thinking its because they get too hot. it gets to about 80 degrees here during the middle of the day. my one plant that is semi shaded is doing the best...probably about a foot taller than the others
 
lol bad news, they got fried in the sun. all that work carrying them back from holland gone. i should have put them in the shade, i think our sun is too intense to start them outside right now. lesson learned
 
your plants are starving for nitrogen. water more often as well if you can it helps with the heat issues. :)
 
yea i think it cud also be the sun cus i live around there and the top leaves on my plant were doin that till i moved it to were there are some tall trees on 1 side of it and open sunlight on the other.kinda evend it out a bit but anyways good luck hope you can save them

as long as your leaves are pale it needs nitrogen. i feed nitrogen throughout the full flowering cycle. along with bloom of course.

interesting. i think that in the growfaq someone should add this info. i have been reading info religiously from this site for about 8 months, and other sites around the internet and not once was i informed about that. people make it so once the plant is flowering, no more nitrogen and only bloom nutes (P and K)
thank you for guiding me
 
Mine just started flowering also and im waiting on my Fox Farm 3 kit for soil to get here ... should i feed them the nit and bloom as well Fdd i know mine needs the nitro .

people stop feeding their plants nitrogen and then all there fan leaves turn yellow and they say this is normal. really? so in their natural environment the nitrogen just runs out? i can see it depleting in the natural soil somewhat but in some nitrogen rich areas they get it all season. the job of the large sun leaves it to collect light to convert into sugars to allow for new growth. EVERY leaf on the plant has a job to do. once they start dieing off the other parts have to make up for it. those big leaves are feeding the branches that all the buds are on. green = healthy. :mrgreen::blsmoke:

THAT, my friend, is what should be expressed to the new growers like myself. i will blast them tomorrow with some fish emulsion

nope, you should try it out. depends on what LST youre talking about... tying it down to get more light, or doing the swirl to get multiple bud sites. if i were you id lean it back away from the light so the lower branches get exposure
 
Thx for the info Orange , yeah i was just wanting to get more light to spots is all . Still waiting on my Fox Farm 3 kit ..... Good Luck yall
