yellow leaves

[MariJan]

Speaking from experience I can tell ya promix is ready. Right outta the bag. I add nothing to it except Jack's.

@MariJan has used jacks in soils with very good results. Maybe she can provide some input.

Yep I use peat mixed with Pearlite/vermiculite. I add Jacks cal/nit and epsom salts. Veg I just use the classic Jacks. For flower I use Jacks Blossom boost with the Cal/nit and epsom every feeding 1/4 tsp of each per gal of water. I water when dry. Every 2-3 days lately 3 days now that it is cooler outside. If I find pests I use DE, BT or Neem oil. All wash off easy and do not leave residue. I wash my weed at harvest. With juice from 1/2 of a lemon and 1/2 c baking soda and 2 rinses. All in 5 gal buckets. I use a 3 bucket system.

I'm coco/pearlite and have found I need to water enough that there is runoff
It acts to flush the pot and keep salts from building up.
Salts building up in the medium will lower the PH even further
Those salts have an osmosis effect on the plant thats not good.

good morning, yellowing leaves seems to have slowed down, thank god !!! i have another question though, maybe you can help with. i got one of them digital microscopes because i read that you need to look at the color of the trichomes to determine when to harvest. i got 44 days into flowering and this is what they look like ( ill post pictures, i'll take more today) from the pictures that ive seen on the web pages it looks like i got maybe another 2 weeks to harvest. does that sound right? thanks george

Still some clear trichomes in there. Probably closer to three or even four weeks, but plants finish at different rates. It could be ready in two.

Wait until you see about 20% amber.

At least 2 weeks maybe more Trics look good but no amber yet. You will need to find out where your sweet spot is. I like 20-25% amber. More than that and I put it in salve or edibles for sleeping meds. Some like up to 50% amber. That melts me into the couch stoned to the bone. Works great for sleep though. Some take them as soon as they see all milky white with almost no amber. It is really a preference.

I'd keep checking it. It's still early and growing which means new clear triches will develop for a while. I'm experiencing that right now with a plant I'll prob harvest by this weekend.

Post a few pics of the bud with the scope pics.
