Budding well, but plants not looking great

[Rusty Trichome]

are the flushes as important when using organic nutes as opposed to salt based rusty?

Depends on how you water and feed your ladies. I water till small trickle. I feed till runoff. (much more than a trickle) It's not only salts I'm flushing, it's (potential) excess nutrients I'm flushing as well. So I perform a monthly flush to 'reset' the medium.

couldn't over-watering cause the Nitrogen to leech out (along with other elements)?

Yup. Unless the source is a slow-release or chunky organic. (blood meal or worm castings, for instance) It will still leech a good quantity of those. Oversaturation makes these ammendments 'melt'.

Personally I would follar spray with liquid light, flush the crap out of it and water with miracle grow acid lovers plant for for tomatoes. full strength.

So in the middle of this plant stress, you recommend he change nutrients, add a carbo-load product (overpriced diluted molasses?) to overclock the plant's growth system, and provide an additional flush to an already saturated medium...? Perhaps your ideas are valid on an otherwise healthy plant, but this isn't recommended on an ailing plant.
Aren't you supposed to use Penetrator alongside the Liquid Light?
Do you have an ingredients list for the Liquid Light? I would love to see what they're putting in it before disassembling the reasoning behind paying that price for an 'additive'. :thumbsup:

Budding well, but plants not looking great Buds look good but I'm getting worried about how the rest of the plants look and the rate that the fan leaves are yellowing. Found some gnats the other day and fogged with Permethrum. Also some kind of scale found on the leaves. Are the bugs causing the yellowing, or do I have some deficiencies also? Experience level?
