I have it in a large 3cubicfoot container with container soil by farfards. have had good outcome with this specific soil. But starting about a week ago the plant has been losing color, started at the bottom section, now spreaded throughout the hole plant. A white-ish, light green-yellow. Is this a Nitrogen def?? thinkin about addin MG blood meal but not sure if that is what i need, any advice?

pics are coming

upload the pics bro, is it in Veg or Flower or what? if it's just vegging it might be a number of things, but if you're at the end of flowering with buds then it might be normal..

Here is the most recent pic taken this afternoon. the second pic shows where the leaves are actually dying now and falling off. I have a small ant problem in the soil, but im not sure if just that is causing all this.. Any Advice on this one is much appreciated!!

Yup man it's n deffiency for sure. Your plants are losing chlorophil. The bottom leaves may never turn dark green again but your plant will be ok after adding some nutes. Beautiful plant

Thanks, this is my second overall grow. I didn't want this one to get that tall, so i did some selective prunning in the beginning veg state. Would Blood Meal be a good source of N at this time? it hasn't even start to pre-flower yet. I was thinking of getting MG Blood Meal, its a high source of N with like 65-0-0 i believe or around that.

Yea blood meal is fine, but just be very carefull with it. It is a really hot Nitrogen source. A bat guano with high N would be safer bet.

is bat guano easy to come by as blood meal? how would you apply the both? just lightly cover top of soil and water?

i've used guano. i mixed it into the surface of the soil. then water. you can make a tea with it as well but it can go funky.

what would you use for Nitrogen fdd i remember you were a big help for my last season's grow. specially using your harvesting and curing thread. in my case, im outdoors in a large container, i use botanicare pro bloom for veggin, and botanicare sweet for the flowering. Last year i added bone meal within the first couple weeks of flowering. not sure if thats what i should do/use. The pro bloom doesn't have that high of N-P-K. Its 1.5-4-5 i usually just mix 7-10ml per 2lt water. figured i'd give more detail to my setup.

age old grow? lol Hopefully i can get the guano. Last year i didn't have to add any extra N. Guess every year is different tho. I can't imagine what kinda shit you got brewin up in your grows. you do indoor and out? i know there is no substitution for the sun, but fuck i wish i could go indoors for a season to be able to control weather, bugs etc...

thanks Yeah that would be alot easier to just go that route.. i had one more ? if ya don't mind. On the same plant as pictured, i have a hole ant colony around the perimeter of the surface of soil in the pot. sometime i see them crawling up and down the plant as well. Should i just let them be, or get something to kill them?

i'm not sure what they do in the soil. i know they "nurture" aphids. in return the aphids allow them to gather their "honeydew". http://science.jrank.org/pages/462/Aphids-Ants-aphids.html
i've seen them doing this on my sunflowers in the past.
