Helllo Rollitup members:)Sooooo third outdoor grow......and Im having problems again:) Lowdown on my grow:

Vegged indoors under t-5's and then 600w MH
Sunshine Mix#4
cloned in Cloner,then dixie cups,1 gallon to 5gallon...then to ground
Had late start so I transplanted in intervals, wanted them as big as possible before going in...the grounds soil is rich,tons of worms,mixed in some super soil,tilled it thouroughly...the problem is with the first plants in the ground, prior to transplant noticed signs of problems but thought it was getting root bound, or hungry...and once they got into the ground thought they would take off....NOT SO MUCH they are not really doing anything...last year couldnt slow em down from growing and they were sooooo BIG I had to come up with sollution to fix height issue...not I just want em to grow....if yo look at pics notice the newer girls are very happy its mainly the bigger ones having problems :( Any advice or input on possible problems or solutions is much appreciated!

Looks like nitrogen deficiency/ moisture stress/ magnesium lockout. What's the pH of the water you've been giving them? Sometimes the rain water pH will drift on you changing the soil pH. Your main problem(s) appear in mid growth areas which means its a less mobile nutrient like calcium or magnesium. But My guess is lockout all around. Try drenching with plain water ph adjusted to 6.2-6.5. Wait a few days then feed with basic 10-10-10 formula to get an idea of what nutes have been locked out. Good luck- I have never done out door grows so this i just detective work from what I see.

Yep it rains ALOT here ...so fighting Bud rot is a bitch, but other than that normally my outdoor grows have been alright... @espoker...I use water out the hose for my outdoor I think it is 7ph...but this has never presented a problem check out my last years grow...I think you might be right about the deficiancy issue...Im just baffled

I see lockout from PH or lockout from cold weather.
The purple stems could be a sign of magnesium deficiency, but the purple leaves are from cold weather or a lack of phosphorus.
You said your plant wont grow, well that means the roots are'nt growing, and that is also a trait of phosphorus deficiency.
The light green color is from a lack of nitrogen.
If you said the soil is rich, your plant should be dark green and if the plant was over fertilized, there would be crispy leaves. So with that in mind, I would say its a ph lockout from the cold?
But since you said last years plant did well, maybe it rains so much that it depleted your soil of fertilizer?

Either way, if its not the cold, the problem lies in the soil, so check the PH and see what it says. Sometimes you can fuck your outdoor soil up by adding lots of nitrogen products over the years. Its always good to mix in some activated carbon after the grow season so it can absorb leftover amonia and biproducts of the plant in outside soil.
So go check the ph of the soil, and get back to us brohym :)

is this a backyard grow?? if so.....if I were you I would be out there every morning when the sunrises foliar feeding with a fertilizer with high N content....they look like they could use it......A few of my plants looked like that(light green/yellowish) a week ago. I've been foliar feeding with Miracle Gro 30-10-10 everyday and now they are nice and green.
