Currently in week 5 of flower phase. Overall leaves on several plants more yellow than green and many falling off. Is there some nutrient i could add that may help.

Nitrogen def. I think. I'm in week 5 of flower too. View attachment 2849767 I wouldn't think transplanting would be a good idea at this point just deal with the N and you'll be happy. Possible mag def. too. Are you giving them any nutes?

For the last time, if it's flowering time don't add any nitrogen ! At this level the plant produces nitrogen itself so you go for nutrients like 5-15-15 !
I'll wait for your response ! Forget about yellow leaves if it's flowering time !! :leaf:

Keep your N level up with a balanced fert. Cutting back on N during flowering will result in just what you are seeing. Keep them fed and green and growing till you harvest.

What size pots do you have? The plants will naturally start shedding leaves during the final stages of flowering, as the plant believes it is autumn, but your plants don't look nearly done. It could be the plant has outgrown the pots. It happened to me before, I reported, and within days it was flourishing.

many growers wind up with plants like yours because they depend on blooming food only during the flowering stage, which is generally low in nitrogen. GL
