17 days ago I flushed my plants and 15 days ago I transplanted into 5 Gal. buckets.
I fed plants with
1/4 strength, 18-18-21 with .50% Magnesium,.05% Copper,.10% Iron,.05%Manganese,.05% zinc
I also added
SUPERthrive Vitamins and Hormones
TARANTULA Beneficial Bacteria and
Molasses 8% Potassium, 10% Calcium, 15% Iron, 20% Magnesium
My Post on this is;http://boards.cannabis.com/plant-problems/148564-post-flush-nutrients.html

I also watered once with PH adjusted water and 2 days ago I fed them 1/4 strength Big Bud 0-10-14
Since the flush the buds are growing but the leaves are all dying.
Leaves are turning yellow and on one plant the yellow leaves are getting brown spots on them.
The tips of all the plants new growth is light green to yellowish.
Plants are 33 days into 12/12.
I water roughly every 3 days depending on soil moisture.
Siol PH from runoff is around 6.5
Temp runs from 80 hi to 60 low
Humidity is 30%
Lots of air flow

The plants are looking good, if they had their color back, can you help?
Is it too far into flower to boost Nitrogen?
Is something locked out?

Thank You for your HELP !

lack of Nitrogen towards the end of flowering is good makes the bud less harsh

imo thats fine plant just uses nitrogen stores towards the end of flowering & from what ive been told for the last few feeds before harvest you should just use water to wash out any shit left over its all good & tastes good when theres no trace of ferts good luck & happy chuffing :rasta:

Using a foliar spray of any type this late in flower is not a good idea. With the buds having formed already, the excess moisture could cause bud rot... no good at all.

Those look fine to me as far as yellowing goes. As already mentioned, bloom fertilizers are low in N because it is not needed as much and creates a harsh smoke in the end. By the end of flowering, don't be surprised if your leaves are completely yellow, it's a normal thing.

Thanks all for the great replys.

I guess I am just a little protective of the girls. I have spent a lot of time tending them and trying to maintain healthy plants.
It just crushes me to see them yellow out like this.
According to my calander they have been in 12/12 40 days now.
To me this seems like a short time for them to be nitrogen deficiant.

I am just watering from here on all Tric are still white or clear.

Any suggestions on care at this stage would be appreciated.

Thanks Again

I'm finding it hard to capture the true colors of the plants.
The last picture is Strawberry Cough 10 days in 12/12. :hippy:

I looked at the Strawberry Cough to day and DAMN!!!!
It is a male. Who clones males?

Well I at least got a guarantee with it, which seems strange.
I think they knew it was a male and passed it on anyway.

I can't even call it a hermie, it has no female flowers.

Sucks to hear that about your SC, dude. It was nice of them to offer insurance for it, but you're right that it should have been cut from a known mother in the first place. You did, after all, spend time and money on it after the purchase.

On a lighter note, those plants with the yellowing leaves look real nice! Try not to think of it as harmful to the plants, but rather like stores of energy being sent directly to your buds. A good deal of that trimmed yellow leaf isn't going to be worth much, anyway... while those buds are going to be priceless! Good job. :jointsmile:
