1st Outdoor Plant

My grows go well indoors, but I decided to put a 2 month old, 40 inch tall plant outside this year in a 5 gallon container.

1/4 of the leaves, mainly on the lower part and middle part of the plant turnned yellow and ended up crispy. I don't know what this means. THere are no tip burns or yellowing on most of the leaves up top and newer growth. THey look green and healthy.

Is this a sign of not enough nutes, too much, or is it because of going from indoors to 90-100 degree summer temps outdoor? She's in the sun directly.. no shade.

everything sounds good.

the two most likely culprits are

1) bottom leaves shaded out and dying off due to lack of light.
2) N deficiency working its way up the plant

ya it's mainly the lower part and lower-mid branches where i took clones off her before putting outdoors.

Been feeding her 2 teaspoons per gallon of FoxFarm Grow Big every 4 days.

The bottle of foxfarm says that 2 teaspoons per gallon every 2 weeks is 'heavy feeding' and i've been doing it every 4 days.

It does seem like it started lower then move upward.. but damn how much nitrogen does the chick need...

Strain is White Widow

Here's a pic from a few weeks back.. she's gotten a lil worse since then.. mainly a few more crispy leaves in the middle.. and the reason she's droopy is cause i took the pic at night.

I'll try to get a better pic tonight

She looks hungry to me and looks really really droopy for it just bein at night....looks like she needs some water in that pic also.
Shes a big girl so that means she is goin to be drinkin up the NUTE filled water quick as hell.
Ill tell you what i feed my mother which is just as big and she never is hungry.
My mother is in Soil and i use Genral Hydroponics Flora Micro and Flora Bloom and 1 1/2 tablespoons of Flora Micro and 1 Table Spoon Flora Bloom in each gallon which roughly comes out to 1600 ppms depending on ur starting ppms comoing from tap.
And you could go pick up two little containers of each for $10 a peice and see how that works out for you.
Im pretty sure that pretty close to the "lucas formula" maybe a little off but it works awesome for me and i use that feeding solution for my mother thats always in veg which is just as big and for all my little clones that just started growing to my plants finishing in bud never switching a thing and that formula seems to work wonders and as long as yout PH stays fine and you dont overwater ur plants should love you.
But with a plant that big she is goin to eat ALOT.
Good luck
