I noticed my larger plants vines have a much yellower color than my other primary. I applied about 1/2 cup of Urea very lightly to the mound and surrounding patch area hoping to 'green up the vine' a little more. The vine is about 6 feet long and even though it has 2 good secondaries and more coming, it just appears thinner in folliage than the other plant which is at about 5 feet. Any input as to whether I screwed up or not would be greatly appreciated.

Stunner, The vines on two of my plants are as yellow as a banana peel and scattered with some green, and pert near as big around as a banana. I've been told that this is normal. Some have yellow vines some green. I don't know much, but I don't think you should worry about it. Best of luck!

if it was me, i wouldn't worry about it. to see if your plants are health, keep an eye on the color of the leaves. If there very dark green and heavy to where there hanging and bloated over toward the ground, you got to much nitrogen. If the leaves are a light color, than the nitrogen is just right

Some plants look more open than others....its all dependent upon leaf size,stalk hieght,internodal distances etc.....each plant is different. 900lyons is awesome seed but plant is open...you can see through it and see the soil....others are bushy but just as good....its normal.
