last night everything was fine, this morning I took a look and...check out the pics. I did take the ties off which might have made it to the larger leaves couldn't get any light for a couple days. put the ties back on today. also, those soil pictures are pictures of the roots coming out of the soil. is it possible that I'm rootbound in a 75 L pot?? I fed her yesterday, same dose as the week before and she did fine, she loved it. the dirt had finally dried out before watering this time as well. dont'know if any of this could have something to do with the leaves, just saying everything that's different. I thought maybe it's a salts build up problem. opinions? think I should flush her?

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Yellowing of shaded leaves, specially if they are old, are pretty normal. Plant discards them and concentrate on more productive leaves. The general looking of the plant is good, maybe you should increse fertilizer dosage slighty at this point. There are some signs of insects activity, but not of a infestation. Thats normal outdoors, too.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ok. I hoped that's what it was. next thing I've noticed is that the tips of leaves are starting to curl slightly... I just gave her a pretty heavy dose of nutes, maybe a bit of a sign that I gave too much? bottle says 2-4mL per liter, I gave 4 mL of both veg+bloom food. so it's the highest dose the bottle says to give, and I gave over a gallon of it. she did great on it last week, so I figured I'd do it again...and then this happened. and the roots coming out of the ground....never had that before... I appriciate the advice

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Your soil looks very dense and heavy, mattdreads. It may be that the container is large enough in comparison to the size of the plant that the bottom soil is still wet. Roots will come to the surface as a result of too much water. ![]()

well, the bottom was dry this time I watered her...but indeed it rains an aweful lot compared to my other outdoor grow...that would explain it. and the soil is pretty dense, but the water still goes through the soil nice and easy. it just rains so damn much, and the bottom of the bucket does indeed stay wetter longer. crap. anything to do? should I throw some more dirt on top?
