Do autos needs more N than photos during bloom?

top gun from atlas. plant is on day 63 about f33 or so.
plant is getting some yellowing on lower leaves. some leaves turned purple, it did get pretty cold a few weeks ago.
I don't give a lot of N in flower.
GH floranova bloom and koolbloom. pretty light feeds (250 300ppm 2/wk), but if i feed more i get tip burn.
should i give a dose of veg nutes?

it's looked pretty healthy until about a week ago it started this yellowing. the buds are getting pretty big. i was a little surprise how the buds kept getting longer instead of maturing. they don't usually do that on my other plants.

Maybe loose the koolbloom.
Floranova bloom has a good ratio of N to PK

that would up the N. I'll give them regular bloom feed and see how it does them.
i usually use KB to lower N until i use the powder stuff for a couple weeks in weeks 5 to 7, then switch back to just KB liquid until the last watering or so. for my photos, it really beefs up the buds. i get a lot more yield using it....done with and without on tents of the same strain. it's worth about an extra 50% or so.

Are those hempy's you're growing in?
 
They don't look toxified
I'd say you're right on the money. Up that nitrogen. My rule of thumb is 3-1-2 for veg and 2-1-3 for veg. If you cut off N or give too much N you can hinder your bud growth and lose alot of weight
I think it's better to have a few bottom leaves yellow and then add more nutrient than to add too much and then back off

As far as Cold temps go it might play a small role in nutrient uptake but I think you are losing bott leaves cause of lack of N.
