Banana Kush, Tangerine Dream & Alaskan Purple

Hi guys! Tangerine Dream continues to mature, it could have a couple weeks left before harvest.

The Alaskan Purple auto turned out to be a photo period. I thought because I had done so much topping and bending it that I delayed flowering. Nope. It can veg until I can determine the sex of the Gophers. The Blackberry auto will stay in the tent. They might be all I leave inside.

The other Blackberry is a female (yay), but the two Blue Magoo ended up males. I’ll move the Blackberry and the studliest Blue Magoo out to the deck and let them grow like wild things together. Thanks for all your help!

Rolling right along and looking great!

Hi guys, I'm having some bright yellow leaves with green veins showing up on the bottom of my Alaskan Purple. I feed her 1/8th tsp/gal Megacrop, Cal Mag and Ph'd water at 6.5. She's 8 weeks old. I don't know what the deficiency is. I'm also wondering if she can go out on the deck to finish yet. I'm in Northern California foothills area. I do not have a PPM meter.

I'll be harvesting the Tangerine Dream soon, she's still filling in. I keep saying that.

The Blackberry females and the Blue Magoo male are 5 weeks old, I'll repot them this week, they wilt in a day and a half in their current pots.

The Chemgophers are a month old and doing well.

Thank you in advice for your suggestions. I need to get somebody out of this tent!

I got no diagnosis, but if I am not mistaken a N deficiency would start at the bottom not the top and the bottom leaf's still look green. I would wonder if it isn't some king of lock out. Wish I could be more help

@Cattapilla great looking garden you got to be amped to harvest that Tangi Dream.

Hey bud
What size pot is that light green plant in.
that plant isn’t locked out. It is definitely hungry.
that’s a nice sized little plant, it may need to be potted up to something bigger which in turn would also feed it.

@Schnauzer That's the Alaskan Purple that's showing yellow leaves on the bottom. Shes' in a two and a half gallon pot, maybe three. I took all the plants out a few minutes ago and they have all recently begun to have some faded leaves at the bottom. I think I will go back to Pure Blend Pro since all of these plants are suffering in the same way.

Leaves that get no light will die off eventually, overall the plants look good

If you're interested in treating the yellowish plant I mix a level tablespoon of Epsom salt with one gallon of water and I spray the leaves heavily both top and bottom two days in a row to treat magnesium deficiencies, Castile soap or a drop or two of mild dish soap in the mix helps it work better and won't hurt

I agree with Beachwalker, that one plant is showing Classic magnesium deficiency. I don’t foliar feed so I can’t weigh in on that, but Epsom salt is a very common fix.

This is something I use in my amended soil and also top dress with it... you see it has 2% water soluble magnesium.... It’s just an example of what I use. Nice plants you have there.

Figured someone would chime in lol, knew it was hungry just wasn't entirely sure what it wanted. You feed calmag tho? You can just increase your normal dose if you dont want to use spray as well but it takes longer to see results that way.
They look overall really good

Thank you for all of your observations. I can increase my cal-mag dosage? They get 1/8 tsp./gal every watering. But I can also pick up some Epsom salts tomorrow when I'm out.

I use about 1/4 cup in 5 gallons, I tend to over do instead of under like a normal person tho so that may be too much

Before I supplement anything I always do a slurry test to see if it might be a soil pH issue

..okay not always but that's the best way to do it in my opinion

I use Epsom like beachwalker. Not only is it cheap but calcium and magnesium work separately in the plant and too much calcium can cause a lock out

Looks great in there cat! Bet it smells even better? Lol

Could you be watering a bit too often?The ribbed curled down leaves and yellowing at the bottom are symptoms.

Is she using up the nutes you are giving? Cause if roots are not uptaking the nutes will pile up and cause problems.

+sulfur, good stuff!

I used/switched over to finish with megacrop for about 10 days after using canna coco nutes and i thought i saw some megacrop signals and that the plant(s) didnt like it 100% (yellowing/browning). also from reading megacrop posts sulphur is low in megacrop and thats what helps with flavour/smell. i also had my megacrop sitting in a plastic container with a loose top on, and it seemed to pull moisture from the air and degrade the megacrop. not sure i would use it and only it going forward.
im hoping your plants turn out tasty.
