Not sure if this is normal or not.

Lower leaves get shaded and die its normal

 

If I panicked every time I picked yellowed, dead and crinkled up leaves from the bottom of big plants I’d be - something. I’d be something... lol

OP - your plants look great. Nice job! I’m sure you’ll end up with a very nice harvest. Patience patience patience at the end - when you don’t think they could possibly get any better?

Wait another week!

It’s probably good you asked in the Organics subforum. Most other areas you’d get shown this chart and then be told that you were deficient in Plutonium and needed to adjust your pH and add more Cal Mag...

And Plutonium....

I think these guys used your chart:

Plutonium is missing, but the government says nothing

 

We were hoping that you’d ask this and prepared for your questions ahead -

Everything you always wanted to know about worm bins but were afraid to ask -

Vermicomposting (Make your own Worm Castings)

Try and avoid the watering every day, though. Worms don’t like wet feet - but just moist.

Can you offer them any compost? Partially decomposed leaves? (Not fresh! - take down and get the stuff that’s halfway to fairly decomposed) -

Worms like almost any decomposing organic matter but they do not like things soaking wet - Read the thread.

There will be a quiz on Friday. Vermicomposting yourself is a huge game changer for any organic gardener and so will count towards a good portion of your grade so please be prepared.

Looks to me they need to green up some soil might be lacking nitrogen have access to rabbit shit? or just use a compost manure tea. on next few watering's .

 

Compost tea, assuming it was done correctly which most home gardeners lack the proper equipment for, doesn't really provide much in the ways of nutrients. Not to say that compost is devoid or nutrients but its not a fertilizer substitute, and you might as well just top dress it and water it in.

 

Was just talking about adding nitrogen which is what this will do pretty much what the rabbit shit would be a top dressing (and as for the tea i was thinking of the stuff i saw which has manure in it well bat shit he is getting close to bloom so he shouldn't need to use much .They sell premade and dry mix compost teas in home depot, walmart, etc (add water) one doesn't need to make there own all the works done for you so you wont burn your plants,and rabbit shit is special poop very slow release safe no burn .

 

Yea you should see the change soon after you add

 

the rabbit shit and the compost tea do both if you can rabbit shit is for long term will take longer time to notice change the tea is short term and will get the fastest results

 

assuming quality is the same the worm castings will provide more benefit.
