What's the crop cover you got growing mate?

i had red clover growing in there for nutrients and was suppose to be a pest deterren, but I got spider-mites badly. Treated a few days ago and will probably spray them all again tomorrow. Haven’t taken pics in a while but mine too are for sure in Flowering mode. also for @r0ttie1 they are all feminized photoperiod plants, so time is for sure my enemy in S. Ontario

Hey @Seawood hows that cherry gar c ya going? Grampas stash is really surprising me very slow indoor but they explode outdoor.

So far, so good. Everything is healthy and chugging along although my plants are about 1/2 the size compared to most years. I was late getting started and late getting them in the ground. I’ll post some pics later this week.

Ethos claims the Cherry G and Grandpa’s Stash are great outdoor strains.

Anyone have this problem with their outdoor plants.. certian tops in random spots are getting this purple shit.. (its not a temp thing) ive seen multipal threads on the subject but none have nailed it down to a hard answer.. ive had it in past outdoor growa years ago.. starts like this then the leaves start deforming .. i ended up trashing those plants back then.. i would really like to prevent that with these..View attachment 5177242View attachment 5177243View attachment 5177244View attachment 5177245View attachment 5177246

Did you finish the plants you experienced this purpling/deformation with in the past?

I see this every year in my crops. It’s not BCTV. It’s a deficiency (P) as the plants transition to flower. BCTV does not present like this….and depending on your location, may not even be a possibility as it has historically been found in isolated areas.

Up your flowering nutes and stay the course. Don’t start cutting all your tops off….all this will affect is your yield.

Yeah i seen this .. actually ive been feeding a stronger P nute now .. they are growing through it now..
And as far as the ones that i grow years ago that something similar to this ,, they just grew all fucked up and stunted.. plus they were in shade a good part of the day which as time went on they got even more shade....
I pretty much gave up on these ... i checked them at the end of the year and they were all purple with blotches and curled leaves with deformed buds..

Got back from a few day trip, it's always nice to see the difference after some time away. BT7 a still stretching an inch from the top of the greenhouse, my pollen chuck apple infusion/lemmongrass has also stretched like crazy. Insane node spacing, smells great but not sure I'll keep her, not crazy on that stretch. I've kinked her and the bt7 over multiple times and they just knuckle up and point right back toward the sun.

How much water you give them? Mine is getting a bunch of yellow leaves and I don't know what to do

Quite a bit on hot sunny days, they have 2gph drip irrigation I usually run for an hr or so every morning. During and after stretch they can be looking for some N. If your growing g organic try kicking your your microbiology with some compost tea or recharge.

I'll have to look that up. Mine is in dirt, It's kinda In the middle of my grass and the sprinklers were keeping the plant happy. It has been hot here in so cal and the plant is more mature. I guess I need to give it water in the morning since the sprinklers go at night.

It's my 1st outdoor grow

Congrats on your first grow! Been smoking weed most if my life at this point but growing truly completes the circlr for me... Unless it looks extreme I wouldn't worry too much, as the plants been alive for a few months some of the oldest lower leaves will fade and fall off. I just see it as they're not really needed anymore, not getting any sun and the plant is just focusing growth in other areas. Did you amend your soil with fertilizers at all when you planted? If your soil is balanced and nutrient rich to begin with she may be good, if you think it needs some help you can top dress with organic fertilizer, compost, worm castings ect.

When I was talking about adding teas or recharge to help the microbiology was really more along the lines of helping the soil food web break down the nutrients already there to make them more available for your plant. If you have rich native soil full of worms your soil is probably pretty damn good but when you are mixing soils for container or raised beds and you add your dry amendments in there for nutrient values, you need to make sure there is enough microbial life in your soil- beneficial bacteria, fungus, humics, that break down the bone and feather meals and granular fertilizer we add to the soil. Basically with organics there needs to be life in your soil to break down the food for the plants, yeas or recharge do just that and add life into or back into your soil. Worm Castings and compost have microbial life and can do wonders when top dressed.

If it's just been getting water from the sprinklers so far if may be time to start hand watering now assuming it's pretty big. Id top dress with some worm castings and water that in by hand. Your only going to help, then you can reassess in a few days if your plants need any more nutrients after your sure there watered good and the soil life is helping along.

Thank you, it was very helpful. I used just a basic garden soil when planted so probably needs a little help. I did give it about half a gallon this morning. I have been doing some nutrients weekly kinda want to bump it up to twice a week

Small plants are easier to take care of. I might like plants a little Bigger than that one but it's tiresome have 7'+ trees that are hard to take care of and to keep mold and pest free.

I just assume that I will lose a significant percentage of any outdoor crop, vegetable or cannabis, especially since I am pretty conservative in what and how much I spray. I don't like the extra work of supporting larger plants, but they sure can take a lot of damage and you still end up a lot of usable bud. I just keep trying to select for plants that naturally deal with mold and pests, but that approach is more involved, breeding and selecting for well adapted cultivars.
