Thanks, I am also pleased with the orchard like feel... Except its a mini orchard, compared to others like (epic orchard)very impressive . Next year I hope for 10 ft plants accross the board. Already glad it is going to be an early season. I will have time to prepare for my real orchard next year.

Don't know if anyone can help. I have a few yellowing leaves on the inside working it way towards the outside. My blue dreams, sour d, and seed white widow are all nice and green. My grouch( jolley rancher x og, and triangle seem to be nitrogen hungry. I top dressed about a week ago with high nitro bat guano (9-3-1), solution gauno (0-8-1), worm castings, kelp meal, cut in half with fresh NorCal blend. I also spray magic green and rotate with verde/protek regimin. alternating for nitrogen. I feel like I was shorted amendments by earthworm siol factory. Maybe something else is going on. I have some plants that are very small and I know have yet to process all the nitrogen in the siol, and still yellowing?

nice gardens..that dep looks nice! you did a hell of a prune job on those ladies, what do you think the yield per pot will be?

How about heat stress? What have your temps been? How often and how much water per plant. Can you also remind me your container size?
Pretty sure verde is mostly urea , that could be part of your problem if you're applying it to the soil often

Weird his other plants are fine. maybe that strain is sensitive?
Triangle Kush and ogs in general seem pretty sensitive to N to me
i wouldn't use Verde in the soil either…i have some as backup for foliar application to any plants that look N hungry. i had to spray the GorillaGlues once with it this year in veg.

I only folair verde ....maybe I'll try another high nitro bat guano top dress?...more folair ?
Plants are in 5-800 gallon mounds. I water as needed depending on temps and siol moisture Prolly 15-20gallons a day. Once a week they get a 40 gallon watering. These are not ur 10 puond plants, i dont think they need a whole lot of water. Plants are finally large enough to shade most of my 7x7 mounds, helping with water retention.

That doesnt look like they are hungry to me but rather something is off in the soil locking them out in certain spots? ....but what do I know.

Im at 40N 120W, it stays over 100 most of the summer, and then peaks in july around 113-118. So maybe my technique works because of the heat. I give plants insane amount of water from day one. IMO it is imperative that you fully saturate your soil so that the roots have moist soil to grow into.
I know people believe that you want your soil to dry out so your roots will "stretch" out in search of water, but I whole heartedly disagree. If you have good drainage and hot weather, then give them all the water you can get.
One last thing to consider is that plants love a cool root zone. Cool and wet is better than dry and hot. Small containers do poorly (especially black ones) because the soil temps rise and you see what looks like a deficiency. Not sure on the science( BYF please chime in), but I've seen this time an time again.

Water buffers the minerals you load up your soil with , the less water the less 'soluble' nutrients .. this is an extreme over simplification.
At higher soil temps availability is also increased , pH is also effected by temperature.
I don't want to get too deep because it pisses people off.
I live in a similar area and also water them , a LOT ... My p lants grow more when I water them more , they stop growing when I stop watering them.
