Mine get like that too, the older leaves are dark green and the new growth is a really pale green. It's fun watching healthy plants be plants, eh?

Likewise bro
I know the feeling all to well my friend. I get the same feeling when I look into my veg tent too. All my plants generally excite me. Call me simple, but I really enjoy watching Cannabis mature. But honestly I am really looking forward to that OPP. She's been teasing me for far to long and she's probably going to meet her fate this weekend. I still have to give her some energy tomorrow before she finishes.
Nice update. Thumbs up!

I love watching plants grow, I would love to setup a chair in the middle of a grow field and just relax the day away, it's like being in a different world.

Thank you bro. I thought the same thing about the Nitrogen, Doc explained it to me one day. I'll look for the post.

Here we go...I pretty good explanation of things in "germ" form as Doc put it
Doc, are you using the cationic drench as a replacement for energy after week 4?
Ps
No.
Here's an email I got from the lab. This isn't a direct answer to your question, but the answers you seek are contained therein in germ form......
NPK....all nitrogen is "N." It's all the same once the plant breaks it down, right?
Doc Bud,
"Wrong!" says Dr. Reams.
"Nitrogen can be growth energy or reproductive energy depending on molecular configuration."
When nitrogen is in the nitrate form it creates growth energy in plants and soil. Reproductive energy comes in the form of ammoniacal, urea, or organic nitrogen. This dual form of energy for nitrogen makes it the most confusing element to consider when looking at energy.
A basic principle to always remember is that plant growth is all about energy.
You create this energy by reacting growth energy against reproductive energy according to the crop being grown.
Let's take a few examples to clarify this concept. We had a wheat grower who decided to spray his wheat with a few gallons of liquid calcium nitrate. Unfortunately this resulted in a significant yield decline. Fortunately International Ag Labs did not suggest this.
Liquid calcium nitrate is a double growth energy fertilizer. Both calcium and nitrogen in the nitrate form push plants and soils with growth energy. Regrettably the farmer sprayed his wheat just at the time the kernel count was being determined. The growth energy from the calcium nitrate pushed the wheat plants more toward growth energy and away from reproductive energy. What the plants really needed was a reproductive spray to increase kernel set.
Here is another example: A grower with a field of canning tomatoes sought to maximize his harvest of tomatoes all at picking time. To do this he kept his soil on the growth side longer by using growth energy products such as calcium nitrate and potassium nitrate. The result were large tomato plants and thick stalks but not a tomato anywhere. The canning company field rep was getting worried.
At the right time the farmer switched his soil from growth to reproductive and turned his field yellow with blossoms overnight. How did he do this? By using reproductive fertilizers and foliar sprays. These caused the soil and plants to switch from growth to reproductive. How can this be done? Simple - broadcast some ammonium sulfate, 11-52-0 or urea. Then spray the plants with a dilute reproductive spray made from household ammonia, phosphoric acid, vinegar etc. The broadcast switches the soil while the foliar spray switched the plants.
Once a large bunch of tomatoes were set and beginning to develop, the farmer switched back to growth energy dominance. Why? Because growth energy is also bulking energy. Now the farmer wanted to size up the tomatoes. By keeping growth energy dominant he was able to stop new blossoms from developing. What was the end result? A large harvest of tomatoes all ripening at nearly the same time.
Last example: You manage conventional turf. What nitrogen source should you use? The standard practice is to use urea. Urea is a 100% reproductive energy. Turf is a crop that needs growth energy dominance. This means urea is the exact opposite energy of what should be supplied. Organically managed turf using compost or some other organic nitrogen does the same thing. Too much reproductive energy. The answer is to use calcium nitrate.
So is nitrogen just nitrogen? No it is a very specific energy that can influence the soil/plant in the direction you wish.

thanks for taking the time to post this im still on the side of the fence that nitrogen is nitrogen.But im no scientist or botanist i just reaserch and see what works.Its obvious doc knows what hes talking about and has years of knowledge ahead of me.thanks again

Education is great it gives you a leg to stand on.On every subject about anything someone with a phd has a different theory about how or why something works.Hell there were people with phd's shouting 50 years ago cannabis causes lung cancer everyone believed it and no one contested it.No there are studies that prove it doesnt but there is still some guy with a phd that is saying it does.So what can the average person do!

Very true, I'd say these guys here are a little bit different than those "governmental" Dr's from yesteryear. Only reason I say this is...My plants agree with them
He can take what the ivory tower eggheads have to say with a grain of salt. There IS such a thing as a very well-educated fool. I've met quite a few of them.

Oh man do I ever agree with you...Why just last night I had to debate how well my diet controls the bipolar symptoms with a Dr. She said it's "impossible", I told her thats because she is trained in medicine not healing...
And the Dr's solution would have been pharmaceuticals that have a bunch of bad side effects, but "are good for you". Uh huh.
Curso, my best friend and champion debating partner went stark raving manic bipolar in college, so I got a very good education in it.
Unfortunately, that was long enough ago that they pretty much destroyed his brain chemistry experimenting on him. Today, he lives on his own and regulates his mood himself. He's a wreck, but he has his own life and persona, with no side effects. He figured out what was "good for him" - they never did.I just love listening to the pharm commercials on TV. I'm more cynic than rabid evangelist - seen too much passion come and go - but I get SUCH a kick out of the long fast list of side effects, and then I murmur to myself "but it's good for you".
I think pot is good for me.
That Dr. should be ashamed of herself. Our diets are the first place to look if we have illness or feelings of restlessness and anxiety/ bi polar.
Cut the sugar and the empty carbs I'm sure your bipolar fits are non existent.
