Same here. They have lightened up and a few have started showing different deficiency's, but I'm obviously just ignoring them. The buds look good and they have continued to fatten up over the last week.
I'm glad I didn't read this previously. I'm going to do the plain water flush this time and next time I'll use the clearex method. I'll see which produces better and which tastes better.
I'm sort of an experimental type grower. I've done long veg less plants, more plants, less veg, lots of plants no veg, soil vs. hydro, 250w vs 400w. Just like to see what each does.
So far I've found that hydro w/ minimal veg seems to work best for me. 9 weeks from start to finish and w/ 6 plants and a 250w light this time I'm looking @ ~a QP. Not too bad for nine weeks.
Thanks for your help guys, I look forward to next Sat. harvest! Woo hoo!
