leafs around buds yellowing

Hey guys,
Im new at the forum and new at growing, so your input will be greatly appreciated. Im growing outdoors and my baby is a month and 3 weeks. I've been inducing buding for a 10 days now and, i thought, its was doing fine. The past few days i've been noticing yellow leafs around the forming buds. I can see a couple of more every day. I'll try to put some pics so you can see and maybe help my situation. Let me know if you need more info.
Thanks

what have you been feeding it and how often? what kind of soil is that?

does this plant look hungry ? I would feed it but i am not the one eho knows anything. is it starting to yellow from the bottom up also . like it's killingitself low to feed the new growth up high ? Like i said i don't know jack but thats my guess . what do the rest of you think ? I may learn something here .

Im not feeding it anything! i live in the middle of the jungle in central america. Things like plant food are not that available here. See i came around some seeds and i thought i'd give it a try. Plus we only get a max of 12 hours of day light here year round. i've got it on 9 hours of light right now. so what do you think the outcome will be??? any suggestions???

Wood ash is a good supplement seeing how you have no direct source for plant food. Wood ash is high in Nitrogen which will green her back up. She looks to be starving in the Nitrogen area. Coffee grounds will also work. I'm from California, but honestly... 9hrs of light sounds shady, but it'll all sort it self out I'm sure. Mother Nature knows best.

Thanks Mikey. I'll try the wood ash and I'll let you know what happen. As for the light, as I said we only get 12 hours of light here year round, so for the first month I let nature do its thing, were it grew 12" tall, and then I started covering it giving it only 9 hours of light. In less than a month it grew another 2 feet and its full of little buds. I think I'm just gonna keep it like that and see what happens!

Ashes of any kind are not high in Nitrogen. They are high in Potash and will increase the PH of the soil around. This may be good for flowering, but for now you really want to feed it high N. Best thing to do for that is find some manure. bird crap/bat crap/cow crap, there has to be some steaming piles of something in the jungle, grab it throw in a bucket or something, with water, and leave it sit for a day. then use 1 cup to 20 cups fresh water, for watering. If you have access to fish, grinding up some fresh fish, and making a tea out of that would work great. (with any of this make sure to keep it off the leaves)

If you have coffee around you, grab some coffee grounds and sprinkle them on the top of the soil for slow release nitrogen.
It's not the best option, but if all you can use is the land around you I'd go for it.

it actually looks more like a iron deficency... water with rust water!

So I gave it a mixture of a gallon of water with 2 teaspoons of epson salt, a teaspoon of coffee (nescafe, that's all I had) and 6 eggshells dryed up and crushed to a powder a few days ago and it seems to be doing a lot better. Thers no more yellow leafs, exept from a couple of original fan leafs, but I'm guessing that's normal?? Do you think that was a good idea and if so how often should I be doing it? I have to water it every 2 days. It gets pretty hot here!

More pics soon!

Start making compost now for next time? It's hard enough stopping things rot in the jungle, so should be easy/quick.
If things get desperate for nitrogen try your urine, watered 1 part fresh wee wee to 4 parts water. I've used it for my vegetables, but not the herb.
There's a joke there somewhere about wetting yourself laughing thinking about the idea of it...somewhere..
(Edit) And if you drank pints of Guinness before, then your pee would be full of iron..
