Flower is about 8 weeks in but shes a Durbin Poison cross so 10 week recommended. they are doing better than i thought they would. I decided not to use any bottled nutes or any additives. This was done with just a bag of Happy Frog and a bag of coast of Maine compost. I added some molasses, sprouted alfalfa and yard clippings to a water reservoir/rain catcher which also had some coast of Maine lobster compost added that sits for 5 day, 2 days with a airstone on. well the reservoir never gets completely empty so each time there's a couple gallons of tea left over I just keep adding to it. I use a wire mesh screen to filter out plant additives before watering I add them back to the reservoir. They get fed this once a week and just plain rain water when they look thirsty before a hot day. I added coffee grounds for a week but sparingly because of the acidity but they pack a lot of nitrogen. The plants smell amazing the terps are out of control you can smell them a block away. lol which is why I'm getting anxious to harvest. I do have a lot of teenagers in my neighborhood. I noticed my neighbors kids and their friends all looking at them through the fence the other night. I do have cameras but i don't think it would prevent a drunk kid wanting to impress his friends by being a show off. lol These teens like to party hard in their backyard. I don't mind just don't trespass on my property.Hey there I have some plants with the same fan leaf yellowing due to lack of nitrogen earlier on I’m trying out a new fertilizer and was only feeding half of the strength recommended too cautious. I wouldn’t loose any sleep over it tho! The rest of the plant looks like it’s getting fed ok. What’s the recommended flowering time for it? How far along are you in flowering? She’s getter close but don’t rush it wait for your loupes lol and go from there.
Awesome job on yours! they look really good. Im NE Mass also. I gave up on the Nitrogen my other 2 seem to be doing better. this one is nearing the end so i'm just using water and letting her finish doing her thing. Do the coffee cans help prevent caterpillars? I like your setup with rebar and weight for wind protection good engineering on that. My biggest worry is spider mites. 25 years ago I went into major debt because of spider mites. Huge lesson learned. I have major anxiety over them. I'm growing up on a deck 2 stories up so pests havent been a big issue so far.Don’t try chasing a nitrogen deficiency, if the roots could take it up they would, but being a mobile nutrient, the plant is feeding off the fan leaves. I see it more in small containers and buckets are the worst, too hot and the roots suffocate, add a gallon of water feeding and it only gets worse. Let them finish as long as they can and watch for caterpillar damage in the bottom and middle of buds. It looks like “bud rot”, grey and pulls easily but if you look there will be black pepperlike specs and a tiny caterpillar, tiny. 5 gal black, 7.5 gal tan, hf and of with perlite and the trio nutes.

The coffee cans give me two watering zones but its mainly just how i start them. Cut the can bottom out and put the lid on the bottom so to transplant i just take the lid off and the plant gets pushed out, leave the can half on til they root then pull it up. I keep the best and give away a couple dozen each year, plus i drinks a lot of coffee.Awesome job on yours! they look really good. Im NE Mass also.

Good Idea the whole reason they are in buckets was so i could move them easily. I got my plants stolen in 2016. I'm still paranoid about it.If the rippers are eye your gals I would bring them inside at dark cuz they don’t respect jack shit these days.
