Hello! My plant problem is as follows:

The plant is growing outdoors and i feed it water and sometimes water on which i boiled vegetables (after it cooled of course) for nutrients
A week ago leaves started getting yellow and also shows some brown spots.

Im worried because there is some leave loss and the plant is still on vegetative stage. Here we enter autum on march 21.
I read that i should feed it coffe left overs for the ph and also potatoes water (where it boiled)
Sorry for the broken english, hope you can understand...
i attached some pics, maybe is better than words

It's hungry for some real plant food. Find some generic 20-20-20 plant fertalizer or something that isn't "slow-release" at the hardware store or amazon. Give it a half dose and a week later if the leaves arn't dark green, give a full dose.

I agree with everyone else, give it real balanced plant food instead of kitchen scraps. do NOT use anything that claims "feed for 6 months" or similar.

How you see the plant in general? Its on a death curse or will it yield something? I mean, what can i expect besides the nut deficiency?

Everyone is right, it actually looks pretty good and you should be happy you have got it this big. You will need to give nutrients that are designed to be absorbed immediately if you want to yeild well. It will begin to show signs of flower soon and you really want to give it some Nitrogen before it stretches so that the plant doesn't use nitrogen it has stored within itself. If you carry on you can expect to see the bottom half of your plant die during flower

Hello Blent, yes, this is my 7 plant so im really new to this, especially when it comes to ph and specific nutrients, i will get the fertilizants asap and keep everyone posted so you tell me about dosage and such.
The summer here was really nice this year so i guess thats why this one got so big (its my 2nd outdoor that gets this far)
cheers, thanks!
