Hey everyone i was wondering if anyone could help me out. I would love to have a run that stays green until fade/flush, I’m starting my 4th run now and my last 3 have made it harvest but always yellow out a few weeks into flower. I’m running 3gal fabric pot with FFOF Gia green 4-4-4/2-8-4 and 1/2 cup of worm castings for top dressing, i can keep it nice and green through veg no problem. I know FFOF is already amended so I don’t top dress until the about 3 weeks in. Then every 30 days after. My top dress before flower, is a 50/50 4-4-4/2-8-4 so 1 and a half tbs of each for a 3gal pot. Ph 6.5 every watering ( tap water ppm 250 around 7.5 ph on a continuous air stone ) I also add 1 tbs of epsom per 3 gal of water and 1 tbs black strap per 3gals alternating them each watering. im going in a 3x3x5 with a 240w from the wall LED. Can anyone see any gaping holes in my process? Any help would be greatly. This pic is from my last run it’s an out Ny Diesel auto.
Also MR grow it your content is amazing i watch everything keep up the great work !

I do think I maybe letting it go a little dry. I will try moving up to a 7gal plastic see if I have better results. Thanks for your time and the help
Couple pieces of feedback... First, you may want to consider going away from fabric pots when using organic inputs unless they are the ones with the liner from Grassroots Fabric Pots. The regular fabric pots dry out from all sides which isn't natural and relates to the second thing. Second, are you keeping the medium moist at all times? With organics, the medium needs to be moist or else microbes go dormant and aren't able to breakdown the amendments turning them into nutrients that the plant can uptake. Lastly, have you considered growing in a larger pot? Most recommend 7gal or 10gal pot at the minimum when growing with organic inputs. I personally use 7gal plastic pots but will most likely go up to 10gal Grassroots Fabric Pots in the future.
I agree just wish it wasn’t happening to me but I still have lots to learn, having a blast tho.
This is a great example how the plant is feeding of the lower leaves from a defiencie
just reading this i think 1 1/2 tbs is not enough dry amendments i would think more along the lines of 1 to 1 1/2 tbs per gallon of soil . so more like 3-4 tbsp per pot . jmo
