Hi. I have two plants I’ve been growing all summer on my back patio. One is a Trainwreck, the other it either Trainwreck or Lamb’s Breath. I am not sure which is which.

The plants have grown pretty well all summer, are about 5.5 feet tall, and are starting to flower. One especially, the other only has a few little spindly guys at the nodes.

Anyways… I’ve had a few yellow leaves and just yanked em off all summer without too much worry. Now though, with all the flowers budding, I am seeing a ton more yellow leaves and it’s making me worry.

I am using fish fertilizer and have been applying once a week.

Should I add anything else? Should I not worry about it? My regular gardening knowledge says the plants need nitrogen but I’m afraid to use any other fertilizers since I’ve killed cannabis plants in the past this way.

    You might be adding too much nitrogen? I wonder if adding fertilizer every week is giving them nitrogen burn. Maybe post a picture of the leaves and someone might recognize something.

    I haven’t grown any plants yet so take this with a grain of salt, but they almost look sun burnt. We had a pretty big heat way and a several of my garden plants had leaves that looked like this.

    Especially since it has been persistent all grow it would make me think it’s a sun issue, maybe they’re getting too much sun where they’re at. Again I haven’t grown any cannabis yet so I am not nuanced in there but maybe a thought that might help.
