36 flowers and yellowing

[stealthnstoned]

I'm 36 days into flowering and im getting yellowing of my leaves and some of my other leaves are looking lime green. They are in LC's #1 mix. with the meals.

It looks like nitrogen deficiency... only a few of the plants are showing it tho. like 4 out of 10...

My question now is whats the best way of getting some more N to them quickly and how much should I add ? I dont really want to spend too much money so anything cheap? I have a bag of EWC castings.. can i just make some teas with that ?

* Crap.. title should say 36 days into flowering. oops.

I would not give them any excessive supply of N at this stage. Go with the ewc tea that will provide them N, they can use in small sums over time. Since you are going to make a tea throw a bit of bat guano in there to. You ought to check out Vons sticky above lots of considerable tea recipes with simple instructions to follow good luck.

Depending on the race (strain) of the plant, at 36 days some yellowing may be normal. I had races which finished in 49 days and were dead yellow and other colors as was expected. Don't go mixing something in there which will screw up your flowers. Top dressing a slurry of EWC won't hurt. I would not use guano were I you.

Both these guys are right^^^^(unless maryj315 is a gal)
It's about the strain and consumption of what's in the soil mix,or what goes in a tea.....If I get yellowing too early,I hit them with a tea. Just be careful not to let yourself think they need more than they really do. I recently did this and burned them a bit,they recovered,but got a little crisp on the edges.
EDIT: MM is a tea master,I can't really expect to even begin to explain teas the way he or CT guy can. I often just top dress with EWC or a good compost rather than make a tea in some cases..it's a bit slower,but it works.

Most of my strains go 55 days or so. I like to see them start to yellow around day 40. I have a 45 day strain that best be yellowing around day 36 or so. Remember MJ is an annual...it's supposed to die.

Well this is my first time growing.. I ended up just watering them with some EWC shaken up with the water and then top dressed with the left overs... I think i might not have mixed my soil well enough before or something because its only showing up on a few of the plants. Its like they got a pocket of no N hahaha.. I'm not sure how long these flower for either. They are Diesel. Anyone have any ideas? Heres a pic from today of a lower nug close up. Anyone have any ideas on how much longer? I have a pocket loupe but its not a strong enough magnification. I cant really tell if my crystals are clear of milky. There are still alot of fresh white hairs that still keep popping up too so i think its still a little while.

radio shack sells cheap loupes and magnifiers.

Yea I'm just waiting for one i ordered off ebay to come in. shoudl be here pretty soon. I'm pretty sure i still got a little to go tho as its only day 39 now. So i took some better pictures to describe the yellowing im getting. Its weird its only on like 3 of the plants.

 

[treefrog]

Those plants look fantastic!
I wouldn't worry about the slight yellowing.

Which Diesel?

 

[dev0n]

Nah dude you're at least past the halfway point in flower (and may be further depending on which Diesel you're growing). Some yellowing is normal, those plants look great, and your nug is plump and frosty: no worries.

 

[stealthnstoned]

I have no idea which diesel it is. I dont know if its really even diesel to be honest. I got it from pretty sketchy friend.. I do have a ton of new strains getting ready to go when these are done tho. Nirvanas ice, ww, wr. sam the skunkmans OH x sk1. and Bog bubble.

 

[Microbeman]

maaaavuuulous! Don worry bout it.

 

[superbolan]

[stealthnstoned]

HAhaha its hard not to worry ! its my first grow and i want it to go perfect hahahaha
Thanks for all the input guys!
