Thank you for the reply. Maples and the like are already showing seasonal changes here. Hope for all of us that it’s not a big deal for the ladies. Great if she yields some colorful flowers!!
Those yellow leaves will not turn green again no matter what fertilizer you give them, if it bothers you pluck the yellow ones off there otherwise they will slowly fall off on their own.
It is environmental. It's a nutrient uptake issue caused by high humidity. Plants are struggling to transpire. If the plants can't transpire, they cannot move nutrients from the soil so it's moving those nutes from within itself. In some of the examples people posted, overly wet soil from the recent rains might be contributing as well. So in a nutshell, this is a"hot, wet, humid" issue combined with "too much rain" type of problem. The solution is for the plant's environment to moderate. "More air flow, less heat and humidity and less rain." Those are tough things for a grower to manage when growing outdoors.
Will this hurt the final product at all? Should we have concern even though we can’t control Mother Nature… I feel like the buds are undersized and haven’t grown in a couple weeks. Updated pics below as well. Thanks
Weather is so unpredictable up here. It’s a total crap shoot up here. For guarantees you’d need potted ladies that can be dragged inside on bad days or a greenhouse. About 10 yrs ago we got 18” of snow mid October.
It really is. I have one that's very close to finishing and 3 others that's about 3 or 4 weeks. every morning I say today's the day but some more nice weather is around the corner and I think I could let her go a little longer. But the day I wake up and see a week of bad weather shes getting the chop. I think i need to let her go for another week or so. But wow am I anxious to chop her down and not have to worry about this one and mid september and october weather here in the NE.If we could control the weather!!
