Possible phosphorous deff? Or just maturing...

Havent fed in over a month. Should I give it a light hit of General Organics biothrive bloom and/or biobud? Everything looks healthy, but i know this is an important week!

I recon u may be right. Hit it with some PK. They use a bit of it in flower so it wont hurt.

Could also be temp or strain. But either way a bit of PK wont hurt.

10-4

I just did a major defoliation a couple of days ago so that could be it - slight N tox from mixing my soil too strong so ive been hesitant to give them any food.

Because of the T5 lights and the fact that i hadn't done any pruning - time for bud production not growing leaves.

So much info everywhere and people arguing on both sides that you have to learn for yourself - they seem to be doing just fine 3-4 days after

Be careful they can turn on you and end up with hermies. Always do any pruning before the flip wait a week after so the plants have time to recover. Leave fan leaves alone at the end your plant will start to use nutrients stored in them and start to yellow and pluck. Them off as needed. Remember more fan leaves more light that hits them the more food for the plant.

I hear ya... With the T5's i had a literal shit ton of dark green leaves on the bottom 2/3 of the plant because they were not getting any light and not to mention blocking any bud sites under the main canopy - as i said, so far so good and i will even post some new pics in the next couple days and we can keep discussing this!

Edit: i basically lollipopped them and took some extra off the tops - i have read a lot about week 3 flower pruning as well, do you disagree with that?

I wouldn't do any pruning 3 weeks into flower myself. I would lollipop at the flip and then leave everything alone except to keep the canopy even. I find that the plant drops any fans it doesn't use in flower on it's own. I would tuck fans up top under any bud it's shading but I think it's fairly well-established at this point that removing fans that the plant is keeping in flower is a mistake.

never, ever, ever, ever, ever take ANY chlorophyll producing leaves off your plant
ESPECIALLY during flower

people argue about flushing as well.
just get some books on botany, and horticulture, and then you can KNOW. Factual shit is easier to digest and apply, no?
don't listen to stoner-forums man.

Tuck and fold those big ass leaves out of the way dont remove them Those are powerhouses man they feed those buds directly also to stay on topic a 15 degree drop in weather or room temp can start that purpling that you see.

I had to go in tonight and support almost every branch - they were falling over from the weight they've put on in the last 4-5 days since. Ill get some pics up tomo.

They honestly look great. The plant on the right, I actually left way more fan leaves on so I can compare.

couple things going on. ur plants are moving N and so its normal to see yellowing this late in a grow. purple results from a P lockout due to cold. it also happens normally late in a grow regardless of temps. its not an issue and a little purple in a bud usually is a good thing.
looks like u did some major pruning and are u running floros? ur plants are a little spindly. u will still get nice dank but it won't be heavy dense nuggies. still fine for personal use.
