Nitrogen problem????

doesn't sound like nitrogen def. usually nitrogen def. starts at the lower leaves and moves upwards.

we'd need pics to tell you more accurately. check your pH. what is it? you want it in the 6.3-6.8 range in soil. if its 7 or higher that could be the problem.

Also don't listen to your friend. obviously they are retarded. Nitrogen doesnt effect the taste or do any other nutes. if you want to get rid of bad tastes what you wanna do is flush or discontinue nute feedings 10-14 days before you cut the buds down. thats how the rest of us do it. we don't NOT feed nitrogen because it effects the taste. any plant that is given ANY chemical nutes will taste like shit if you feed all the way up to the day of the chop. all you gotta do is feed plain water only for the last 1.5-2wks.

also..DONT DRY YOUR BUDS IN THE OVEN! thats a HUGE mistake. its gonna lose potency, its gonna smell/taste bad, and its gonna be dry as all hell and turn to powder when you try to break it down for a J.

To dry the buds you wanna use a 3 part system...hang them up in the dark until the outside of the bud feels dry/flakey but the inside is still kinda wet when you pinch the bud. (this usually takes 2-3 days if your room is at about 50% humidity).

then place the buds in paper grocery bags. roll the bag closed. every so many hours open the bag...allow the buds to air out for 10-20 mins roll the bag back up. dont forget to shake the buds around so pieces that have been exposed to a lot of moisture get a chance to resettle and dry a bit.

then a few days after that you can move them into mason jars and do pretty much same thing you did with the grocery bags (open, close, shake repeat etc)

hope this helps.


also grow by urself or a find a new grow partner. someone who says those types of things obviously doesn't know what they're doing. im no expert but ive been growing my own bud for 4-5 years and i see lots of bad advice like whats been passed onto you. if your buddy doesnt believe me then have him get on a mj forum and look around for himself.

also you want to get a strong magnifier to see the trichs (little crystals on the buds/leaves that look like sugar) and discontinue nutes when the trichs are mostly milky and harvest when you see 20-30% amber trichs (trichs are clear = not ready...milky/cloudy = almost ready....first signs of amber trichs = done! chop it down)

You wouldn't happen to have some pics of this would you? (trichs turning amber)

I am working on my first grow...I am doing this with a friend....Our plants started showing nitogen problems 1 month into flowering....on most of the plants the middle to top leaves are yellow, my friend says that we are not giving them nitrogen because it makes the flavor bad.....I feel that a healthy plant is a green plant....I think that he just doesnt want to admit that he is wrong....I could understand yellowing in the last couple weeks, but not for most of flowering??? do you guys think he is feeding me a line of bullshit......does nitrogen during flowering give a bad taste???? By the way, we are going our seperate ways after this harvest

Also want to add that this same person suggested that we dry our meds in the oven, I guess that kind of answers my own question...LOL
