Hello. It is the first time I try to grow cannabis.
Can anyone diagnose what my plants are lacking? The tips of the middle leaves are drying out and showing signs of yellowing. The plants are just before flowering. Any tips?
I use a 40 cm pot. Organic growing outdoors. Three days ago I sprayed the leaves with molasses but the issue continues.
I will appreciate any help.
Thank you!
Organic, molasses
Welcome to Percy’s mate. Based on your pictures, the very dark leaf color and burning around the edges, that looks like nutrient burn. Your plant is getting more than she can handle. Maybe your slow release fertilizer went too fast

I'll start with full disclosure, while I do occasionally grow in soil, my primary expertise is in coco grows. You mentioned slow-release fertilizer, so this isn't an organic water only soil. First I'd try to correct the overwatering situation. It's not easy when you're outdoors but it could be a part of your issue. Some might say flush the plant but I'm concerned not knowing what slow-release fertilizer you added in the beginning. We have a few soil experts here that should have a better idea of the best direction to go with. I'm hoping someone might jump in with some ideas.
@monkeydo Oh. I see. I added an organic NPK 4-4-4 mix in the soil about 10 days ago. At the same time I also added a little chelated iron and boric acid (1 tee-spoon in 4 lt water and watered with 2 lt of this water). Αnd as I've already said Ι sprayed molasse (1/2 tee spoon in 1lt of water) on the leaves three days ago because I thought the problem was potassium deficiency.
Your plant looks maxed out on nutrient to the point of overload. First of all, stop feeding her anything and let her figure things out. When you are growing in good supersoil you usually don’t need to add any nutrients during the vegetative growth phase, and only sometime during flower, depending on pot size and soil. Sometimes when over fed they can adjust past the extra nutes and continue forward. You could try flushing her some but that’s your call.
