Unripe Purple Mazar binging on Nitrogen stores

[maspino1]

Hello everyone, I haven't crossed this problem before..

My purple mazar is due for harvest September 22.. unfortunately because of the low Nitrogen content of my bloom phase nutrient the plant has been feeding on too much Nitrogen from the leaves and causing them to yellow..

How am I supposed to ripen without chlorophyll??

Should I switch to a "transition" type nute for a few days? I have one that is equal parts N and P, but I'm worried this might affect how it ripens..

Thanks for any input, I appreciate your time and your help :hippy:

Perfectly normal. Do not add nitrogen now unless you want harsh weed. At two weeks away, no more nutes, just plain water.

this is perfectly natural. the plant is using up the stores of nitrogen and putting all it's effort into making flowers. if your plant looks like the christmas tree from charlie brown when you chop it then so be it. that's better for you as harvest will be easier!
