Trimmed off all the problem leaves from the 4 Kingdoms, CBD Critical Mass and its clone. Added a couple more ties to the tomato cage to make sure it holds upright. Trying to figure out how to place the 8” support posts / netting. The tree is really in the way. Might have to cut off some tree branches to make room for the posts…

More rain.

Lots more leaves have turned yellow. Fed them GeoFlora Bloom and watered them. Hopefully, the leaves will improve again.
Should I prune off all the yellow leaves? I cut them off five days ago, but lots more now.

Huge storm rolls in at night. Really hope it doesn’t do any damage!

Howdy!
Looking good over there! Yellowing is somewhat normal around this time of year. Especially if you are experiencing lots of rainfall. Plucking yellowing leaves depends on your environment and personal choice. Virginia is normally pretty wet, ehh? Yellowing/dead leaves can carry pathogens in humid environments, not always though. Some pluck to avoid any issues from decaying leaves.
I’m over in California, it’s dry as all hell still. I let the yellowing leaves stay on the plant until it naturally falls off. I’m not particularly concerned with moisture and decay-related issues, so they stay until all nutrition is used.
Do you notice more stigmas appearing or the buds starting to swell? Some varieties will self-consume when they are growing/building their flowering sites, regardless of soil nutrition.
Best of luck and happy harvesting!

Rainy again today, but not anything like last night. Checked on the plants – still yellow leaves, but no storm damage! MUST set up the stakes / netting for support. Need to cut tree branches and bring out a small ladder to do this properly…

More rain yet again. Really hope this weather doesn’t lead to bud rot like last year. Hell, I started nearly 1.5 months earlier this year than last year to try to avoid those issues!

Rain and More rain. Leaves still look bad. Fed them some GeoFlora Veg to give them some Nitrogen. Really hope this helps them out!!

More rain. Tried to shake excess water off the branches once the rains stopped. Looks to me like the 4 Kingdoms plant is nowhere as thick / bushy as it was a couple weeks ago. Think its lost a LOT of leaves! Not good…
