This will be a home for all things related to the cultivation of cannabis. The preferred focus here will be organic and sustainable growing methods, but any cannabis growers or growers-to-be are welcome!

The moderator and community creator here is in a legal cannabis state. It is therefore assumed that everyone sharing photos and info about their grows is also doing so legally. If you're not, then keep that to yourself. Any mention of actively conducting a cannabis grow illegally will be removed. This is to protect our instance admin, and will be a zero-tolerance policy.

Happy growing!

Hi. I have two plants I've been growing all summer on my back patio. One is a Trainwreck, the other it either Trainwreck or Lamb's Breath. I am not sure which is which.

The plants have grown pretty well all summer, are about 5.5 feet tall, and are starting to flower. One especially, the other only has a few little spindly guys at the nodes.

Anyways... I've had a few yellow leaves and just yanked em off all summer without too much worry. Now though, with all the flowers budding, I am seeing a ton more yellow leaves and it's making me worry.

I am using fish fertilizer and have been applying once a week.

Should I add anything else? Should I not worry about it? My regular gardening knowledge says the plants need nitrogen but I'm afraid to use any other fertilizers since I've killed cannabis plants in the past this way.

You might be adding too much nitrogen? I wonder if adding fertilizer every week is giving them nitrogen burn. Maybe post a picture of the leaves and someone might recognize something.
