The new growth seems to bee on the yellow side. I intially thought Mag def. so foliar fed with epson salt but it doesn't seem to have helped.

Could it be due to over watering ? I don't think I let them dry out at all.

Might be hard to tell in pics.

Normal wouldn't worry about it most new growth comes out yellowish and as it grows it darkens up if anything soil is to wet , or ph is out of wack
People always tend to think pot is to big there fore causing issues i always wondered that concept,,
Its another myth gone wild on marijuana sites , one can only think what happens to naturally grown MJ which seeds drops in a open field and grows into a tree ..

it's pro-mix BX.

They are huge pots yes, I think 200 L .

I'm pretty sure I just made the biggest rookie mistake and watered way to much . I'm sure they will be ok when they dry out.


There is no way I can lift the pot even when dry it is really heavy.

Thanks for the feedback .

Thanks. I have used the same pots in other years without issues.


Don't think pot size is an issue unless you water it too often like I did.

They droop a lot at night so I really think it was just over watering.

Thanks for the reply

some strains just droop even giving them hardly any water
i would just let it go monitor it and re evaluate things in a weeks time , people tend to start going nuts adding fixes and compounding the problem

Yes i did and it looks like he topped it also looks like some sunlight on lower plant , If anything with lots of volume of soil and possibly being new to growing over watering is most common mistake
here look at new growth appears slightly yellowish Normal and as it grows out and photosynthesis takes place chlorophyl makes it nice n green

I agree. Not totally normal but I think they will grow out of it when they dry out. Def not nute burn and ph is fine.

Thanks all

That was my first thought....over watering/over fertilizing 2 major culprits of growing until you get to know the demands of each plant/strain.

Yes Im letting it dry out and will water with just light feeding of worm juice and maybe some micros next time only.

Then dry out again then resume normal fert.

sound like a good plan ?
