You want Yellow plants when harvest?

russian420 · Mar 21, 2019

Hi ICmaggers again.

When to stop feeding when grow organic in soil?

I have stop feeding 2weeks before.

My plants are green when i need harvest them.

Maybe i need stop feed my plants 3-4 weeks before?

You want them be more yellow than green when you harvest?

Will Organic Supersoil plants ever turn yellow?

Is this important?
You maybe dont want smoke alot plant feeding?

It was easy with chemical nutes.
I found it harder get them yellow at harwest with Organics

So i maybe need stop feeding before than now ?
In my Case 2weeks is not enough.
I need stop feeding 3-4 weeks before maybe?

Is that important the plants goes a bit Yellow in organics before harvest ?
I know you really want this if you do Chemical nutes.
How about Organic grow ?

This means you end up with feeding 30 days / 4 weeks in the end ?

I believe i try this.
Both 3 and 4 weeks.
See what works best for me

on the earlier strain ran to 49 days then flushed for two will cut down 63 days. i got a friend who pounds the organics and i noticed he takes longer to flush doesnt get those nice fall colors. gonna start flushing the longer ones at day 65 and cut down day 80. i feel 2 weeks is plenty sometimes extra few days helps to

Plants yellowing with maybe some fan leaves falling displays flushing is occurring to me. :tiphat:

"Plant senescence is the final stage of development during which the plant recycles the valuable cellular building blocks that have been deposited in the leaves and other parts of the plant during growth. These reusable nutrients are then stored in the plant until they can be used in new growth or sent to the seed to provide a nutrient store for the next generation. Maintaining an efficient senescence process is therefore essential for the fitness of the plant or its seed. Senescence is a complex, highly regulated process that requires new gene expression and involves the interactions of many signalling pathways. "

The above quote is linked to the source, just so you are aware.

Technically, harvesting before senescence takes place means your plants has never fully matured to begin with. You essentially want the plant to cannibalize itself, using the nutrient reserves within the leaves to feed the last stage of ripening.

You see this same process with trees in the fall as they turn color and lose their leaves. Same thing is happening with cannabis.

Important to note, the plant turning color below, has begun senescence, but has not utilized all the nutrients in the leaves yet. Look how green the underside still is. Towards the bottom however, you can see the curling beginning, and the underside of the leaves have turned a pale purple. This is what should be happening as the plant begins to actually finish and fully ripen.

Personally, when a plant is just about ready, I just quit watering a couple days prior to harvest and ensure the plants use up everything they can from the reserves. If they can't get it from the soil, they will get it from the leaves. This ensures a clean and tasty organic flower.

YOU DO NOT "FLUSH" organic soil.

What Frank has detailed above and what I mentioned a few days ago https://www.icmag.com/ic/showpost.php?p=8520412&postcount=37 is a critical lesson for natural cannabis horticulture.

Depending upon the style of growing (and the X factor

); e.g. no-till, recycled soil with homemade amendments or purchased 'organic' fertilizers the grower has varying influence on the length and appearance of senescence.

It is a natural process. It is NOT created by the grower. [I tire of boasting by growers claiming sole responsibility for the fade because they know precisely when to discontinue feeding] As I mentioned in the post linked there can be ample nitrogen sequestered in the soil to support a newly transplanted occupant post harvest and despite this the current resident plant will turn yellow anyway.

Plants know if they need nitrogen and can control this if not force fed (ionics).

Kinda amusing is that we previously heard; OMG my leaves are turning yellow! (hand wringing) what shall I ever do??
NOW; OMG my leaves are staying green! what ever shall I do??

Sorry; No more rep for you Frank!! Get to the back of the line

Just a quick today. Because i most go soon out.

I just want to say i have reduce all my nutrients with 50% in after feeding.
And the plants look just great.
I will take some Pictures some day and show you

A good SuperSoil never need alot EXTRA nutrients after i think ?
Exxept for the super long time plants that needs flowertime more than 12 weeks.
Half dosage must work i think ?

Okey this is also about how long you veg and how large pots you use ?
Extreme well vegget plants got huge roots and stems, they need offcourse full dosage extras

I hope this works now like this to the Harvest, and that they turn more yellow this time at harvest.
And also that the smoke is good also is important

This must be more healthy smoke then.
And also saving alot money

-
Got lot pm and things to ansver in other threaths
Maybe later today or tomorrow

see ya all

big315smooth · Apr 16, 2019

Sunshineinabag · Apr 16, 2019

Huh, I've always just used a complete compost soil medium.....and only did a top dress compost or a tea compost if I saw a glaring deficiency in the plants......I've NEVER fed flowering cultivar nutrients past week 2 of flower........

Sunshineinabag · Apr 16, 2019
