they all look good to me
first time i saw em they was all a bit rough.next time,left side looked a lot worse that right side.last time,bottom left was just a bit funky looking.
now it just looks like a slight pheno variation compared to the other 3.
water/feeds think we found that happy place PH maybe a hair out,but we can live with it :smoking:
getting it dialed in as they say you allready got the green thumb
good luck n keep er lit

Thanks again void, your words as well as those of a few others around here always seem to rake a little worry out of my mind.

So heres the latest shot. FRancine is continuing to show a little yellowing, any ideas? I am going to prepare a topdress tomorrow, consisting of Bu's compost, castings, fish bone meal, kelp, and barley meal, not sure on the ratios yet, itll likely be as directed. They are right around 5 weeks, so topdressing makes sense.

Really doesn't look too bad at all.
Just a touch low on the N, probably.
N def starts from the lowers first, showing as yellowing.
Hopefully you have something with some good N that is quickly available.

Sounds like a good time to top dress.
I do mine about every 4 weeks/ month.
But sometimes more if there have been very heavy rains.
These are outdoor plants, and sometimes the rain kind of acts like a flush...

You'll have to start giving us some closer bud formation pics soon!

Alright, just prepared a topdress, and working on bubbling some water right now.

Topdress: Mixed thoroughly and divided between the 4 pots. It was about a 1 1/2C each.

2c Bu's Compost
1c Local castings (best Ive ever seen - expensive)
1c Worm Gold Plus (readily available - cheap)
1/4c Kelp Meal
1/4c Fish Bone Meal
1/4c Malted Barley
1/4c Alfalfa Meal
1/4c Neem / Karanja Meal (roughly 50/50)


Drench: Top watered, pHed at 6.36 - 6.62, forgot to add 1Tbs MagSu, I'll do it next watering.

6L Berkey Filtered Muni Water
1Tbs Fish Hydrolysate (3-1-0)
1Tbs Molasses
2.5mL 7.6% AgSil Solution
1tsp Recharge

Definitely! Never really journalled a grow, you gotta tell me what you folks need to see. Im going to topdress them here in a few minutes, might give them a watering now or bubble for a few hours and water them later at lights on. Added some 3-1-0 fish hydro (fast) to the water which will give them their N, as well as the alfalfa meal (med), neem/karanja meal (slow), with the fish bone 3-16-0 of course helping along (slow). Never tried this specific mix before, lets see what happens!

Good luck, mate. Fingers crossed!

What do you guys think? Hit them with some defoliation or further training? Stalks look healthy to me, I feel like the leaves are trying to talk to me but I cant understand what they are saying.

Thank you for the reassurance friend. What are some if the things you have had success top dressing with in the past?

 

[Benjidubwise]

If it were me, I'd likely be whipping a few leaves off. Not saying that's the absolute best thing to do or even necessary but I just can't help myself

I definitely want to, just not sure if there is such a thing as a "bad time" to defoliate. I read through autobeasts guide which says no bad time, but I an unsure about how much I can get away with removing at once at this stage in their development. I wish I had removed more early on, and done a secondary training. Lessons learned for next time. Id love to hear what @autobeast would suggest.
