Nitrogen issues.

[Hank]

I have noticed on a few of my Outdoor plants some of the leafs are yellowish pale. Just not the bottom ones but the biggest ones that really make the plant stand out. But here is where im confused. Im using Miracle Grow with no ill effects and it says "Feeds plants up to 3 months". But it seems to me they are lacking Nitrogen. Should i feed? It's rained for 3 days straight here so im hoping mother nature will have flushed out the problem.

Could they be getting too much water?

Time release nutes suck for starting a grow.I would only use time release soil products.The yellowing is due to nitrogen loss,you should use a more complete fert like 20-20-20.KEEP SMOKE ALIVE!!

I couldn't tell you without pics. Here is a site that list all the nutrient deficiency problems, so compare here, it will really help.

They are showing no signs of over-watering. This i would know. They are perky and seem to be happy but yellowing of the leafs has me worried.

The number of posts you have indicates you've spent some time around this forum.... so I'm surprised to see that you chose to use MiracleGro soil as it's pretty much touted as the kiss of death to MJ plants.

Just because it says "feeds for 3 months" doesn't mean it feeds the appropriate NPK levels of nutes at the appropriate stage. MJ plants are fussier then regular garden veggies.

I don't know if the rainwater will flush it all out if it's in the ground (vs. a container). I wish I had the answer... but I don't. Hopefully mother nature will care of your babies

They are in Pots. Don't have the money or can't find FoxFarm products anywhere's close to my area. MG has never gave me any probs. MG works in mysterious ways Just got to know how to apply it and what not.

Oh and just cause i have over 1,000 post does not mean im a expert. I could have 30,000 post and still have over 100 questions on why this works and this doesn't.

LOL... true... I wasn't trying to be insulting... just thought someone who had spent some time here reading (as one with over 1000 posts would have to had) would have chosen even a generic soil from Home Depot over MiracleGro soil.

Sorry I wasn't more help... good luck

Thanks to all. This hobby is a constant learning experience.

mix it with some mushroom compost, if that doens't help then use cow compost.

Went out today to check on em and they look fine. 2-3 might not make due to bugs
