They can save you money in laundry costs.

Downy Mildew maybe?

In commercial agriculture, they are a particular problem for growers of crucifers, grapes and vegetables that grow on vines.

Good idea, but maybe a little late for these plants. Mainlining or LST should start early for that bushy grow.

(My balcony Skunk #1 week 16 or something, weather in Germany was bad so she took her time)

Looking great! Now they have a very good base for the next phase. You can remove all those nasty leaves if you want to. Even defoliate a little at the bottom.

Awesome grow!

Depends on various factors like genetics, water pH, initital substrate or fertilizer regimen. People usually don’t try lollipopping with their first grow. Once you know your plant needs you can do these advanced technics. I don’t think we see a root problem here, that looks different. OPs “allround” fertilizer was just not goot enough.

Here’s a chart about fertilizer in the main phases:

As you can see, they can use a littel bit of N in flower, but if there is a major defizit they will pull it from the leave-reservoir.

They are not yet in the flowering phase, am I seeing that right? They desperately need nitrogen. Is your fertilizer a special product for cannabis or just regular fertilizer? Hemp is a very fast growing plant as you can see and they need LOTS of nitrogen during growing stage.

Once they are in the flowering phase they won’t be able to get nitrogen from the roots, instead they will use the leaves as reservoir. Make sure you have a very good bloom-fertilizer once they switch to flowering.

That’s just a gimmick so you can sit on it. I bought the box from wurmkiste.at, they sell it with the cushion or plain. It gets very dirty over time so it’s not really worth the extra money.

I’m pretty sure that’s a wild bee laying eggs. I’ve seen the same species at my bee motel. Once they are finished they will close the hole with clay or some other material.

Will I ruin their homes this way?

Yes.

Solution: Make or buy a real home for bees so they will ignore your potholes.

Lower leaves start to wither; Trichs are still clear with a hint of cloudy. It still get’s fertilizer but I’m thinking about flushing her soon.

Yeah I know, it’s kinda sad. I was experimenting with pot sizes, I think they are not big enough.

2 more clones outdoors looking fine and they have more than enough space.
