Hey guys, this is my first grow, 4 plants for myself :)
the strain which im growing is unknown, got the seeds from a friend.
im at 4th week of Flowering as you see, white hairs popped
out, not visible resins whatsoever.
im growing on soil using a 250w HPS.
im using GHE nutrients. grow, flower & micro.
in the last weeks as you can see there is a yellowing of older leafs,
also from the beginning i had leaf curl sideways, now also downward, another thing, some leaf have yellowed edges.
as for last watering, i didnt feed with nutrients cause i think i might over did it. pictures attached showing what i said above.
I would love to get some help, yours truly , Blueleaf
GREAT photos on this, but some information is missing. First, feeding amounts--what are you using? At what pH is the feed going in? Not a fan of using run-off to gauge what's happening, but
first, if I may, I'd like to talk about what *I'm* seeing with your girls and make mention of a couple of things.
Don't be overly concerned with the yellowing lower leaves, this is a sign that the plant is using nitrogen from those 'storehouses' to create new growth. If you continue to push too much nitrogen that growth will be mostly vegetative and not sweet bud. That's not to say that they don't still need some nitrogen, but they need much less, IMO/IME. Also, don't be worried about lack of trichomes, it's not only your first grow, but unknown genetics that you know nothing about except what you smoked, yeah?
Your girls actually look very good, in my opinion.
Drop the grow portion of the feeding regimen. Your girls are a month in, and now's the time to stop feeding higher nitrogen levels. You
may need to up the bloom feed, but I wouldn't at this point, and I'll tell you why--they actually look very good and they've been fed JUST to the point of leaf tip burn, which is a great way to gauge how much to feed.
In order to get better fattening of the buds and better trichome development (assuming this is a girl that's regularly known to get frosty from the start) you need to bring up the phosphorous, and many people will do that with weekly high P/K boosts. Since this girl's genetics are unknown, don't sweat whether or not she'll pop trichomes--it WILL happen as long as you dont' kill her. Other people, especially if going organic soil, will use guanos and teas to give more phosphorous and potassium (P and K, respectively), others simply rely on the pre-made nutrients because they're already balanced. It sounds like you have a regimen that you're working with, so if you just drop the Grow and keep the Bloom and Micro, you'll be ok.
Keep feeding just to the point of leaf tip burn, that's the edge of overfeeding, then give plain waterings if you feel you've pushed it too far. That will express as very dark green leaves, curling downward (you've got one photo that shows that, it's easy to get past, no worries), and vegetative growth occurring at a time when flower growth should be happening (yes, 4 weeks in is when buds should be building).
Just try dropping the grow, since it's soil I'd have to say give it 10-14 days to really be able to tell whether or not you're on the right track. No worries.
