Auto Masszar outdoor grow - tiny drooping flowers and yellowing leaves

[HorseSocks]

Soil or hydro or coco: soil

Strain: Auto Masszar

Photo or Auto: Auto

plant age: 56 days

pot size: 3 litres

has it been repotted? and when?: Yes, 4.5 weeks ago

soil type: multi purpose compost

nutes or additives used and how often for soil: diluted seaweed feed 2-3 times during vegetative stage, diluted tomorite 3 times. Feeds c.5 days apart, watered in between

Air temps (max min): outdoor grow so have been dealing with the crap UK weather over the last month

I have been growing three plants, all germinated and potted etc at the same time. The other two plants are budding nicely. They both began flowering very early on.

The plant I'm having issues with has only begun flowering in the last week or so, so it is very delayed considering that they have a 65-70 day grow estimate.

The tiny flowers are very droopy and a lot of the main leaves are beginning to yellow off. I have a continuing problem with thrips in the garden and the plant has suffered some damage but nothing I consider serious.

I have attached photos, does anyone have any opinions regarding what is going on? Is it ok but just delayed in its life cycle? Do I have a problem with thrips, over/under watering, over/under nute feeding?? I have no idea!

Thanks in advance

Welcome to the Talk HorseSocks, enjoy dude.

Welcome to the forum, your plant looks more generally hungry than anything else. It does look like it hasn't been getting enough light that can delay flower development.

Thanks for replying , it has spent some time in a portable greenhouse to keep things low key but has been moved outside of it due to there not being enough room for all 3 plants. It's been very wet and cold recently in the UK so I haven't been able to feed it as much as I'd like due to the soil taking longer to dry out between waterings.

I might try and up the nutrient content for its next water and see if that has an impact

Don't take to much notice of what it says on the packet for time, that's for an indoor grow outside you can add 2-3 weeks and we've got some sunshine coming tomorrow and next week, can you move them inside at night (I put mine in my conservatory over night). As jingo they look hungry for some nitrogen,.

Apologies for my rudeness HorseSoccks welcome to the talk bud.

Next time you pot up add 20% perlite and 20% vermiculite to your compost, it will help with drainage, aeration and build a solid root base.

Merci Le chef, I've given it a good feed of seaweed extract and will monitor it over the next few days for signs of recovery. I'll also try and get it inside at night if the weather's looking crap. Looks like the UK is in for a bit of settled warmer weather thankfully so fingers crossed it'll be ok. Interesting that the other 2 seem to be fine and way more advanced than this one.

My main regrets for this grow are not growing them in larger pots from the start and not paying attention to the compost mix so it was as good as it could've been from day one. In future I'll definitely take a bit more care at the start of the grow so they have minimal disturbance and solid nutrient base.

Welcome Yeah the weather took a real turn for the worst recently alright. I was planning an outdoor grow this summer, but the sun fecked off a couple of weeks ago. Wish id done it back in may during the glorious sunshine. Still, looks like a bit of a heatwave heading towards the UK soon

Hey up and Welcome horsesocks
what other nutes are you feeding it with?
Just that you mentioned seaweed extract and tomorite, I use seaweed and find it's loaded with beneficials but more seen as a health tonic for plants rather than a food, never used tomorite but £10 for some bloom like old timers will give your plants all their needs
Shame you only potted up to 3l tub 10 or 12 litres would have been sweet for outside
