I water every other day 1 gallon a plant and feed every 2 times a week fox farm trio half strength
That sounds good, as long as you get runoff with just 1gal per pot? Sounds like you are not overwatering then must be an auto thing or specific to your strain, but those leave looked a bit droopy and "pillowy" which can suggest overwatering. Sounds like you're on the right track- keep it up!

Looks good, stay the course! don't change anything and watch for changes in the plant. It might get hungry for more p/k during mid/late flower stages. Don't completely stop giving it N, but dial back over last few weeks to let plant fade nicely.

what should I do next I just fed them ph balanced water at 6 1 gallon each with 5 ml cal mag because I haven’t water since last nute feed 2 days ago. Should I continue fox farm trio 1/2 strength feeding schedule? When should I stop nutes completely??

You have a long way to go to finish the plant before you chop and dry/trim/cure the nugs. So, Just keep going easy on the nutes, dont water too frequently, and watch for any signs of excessive stress or yellowing/dying leaves. Patience is a virtue when growing the dank... :weed: At this point you should maintain a good balance of N-P-K, maybe a 2-5-4 ratio, transitioning to less N and more K later in flower.

You could try not watering until the plant droops noticeably the next round, and then give it a nice light feed with some calmag. It will be scary how wilted these ladies can get and then bounce back in a matter of minutes of being watered. If you do this periodically, it helps confirm the frequency that you need to water given current setup and transpiration rate of the plant at a given state of growth.

Some random yellowing is normal recycling of usually lower fan leaves. That's okay, but if plant starts to change color or appearance over larger areas or if it starts on lower leaves and progresses up towards upper leaves for example in the next two-three weeks then you have a nutrient or ph issue to resolve. Later in flower, you want to see more fading and yellowing before harvest.

Obviously don't let the plant wilt completely if you can help it, but just keep an eye on it and wait for signs of droop to confirm they need water occasionally.

Yes, just continue with your water/feed schedule using mostly your Big Bloom and Tigerbloom, some calmag and any beneficial microbe you add all the way until ~2weeks before harvest. maybe add in a little grow big for some N if they start to yellow too early or drastically. 2weeks before you harvest, dial nutes way back and let them fade before you harvest.
