What's wrong with my plants? Nitrogen toxicity??

My plants are currently in the 5th week of flower. They were growing so beautifully for the past 4 weeks. Now in week 5, they have started showing signs of less growth, leaves curling downwards and bud density has stopped. I have been giving them advance nuts sensi bloom a and b, big bud and b-52. I gave them a full flush yesterday and now i will wait for the pots to dry out completely before I give them a second flush. DSC_0292.jpg DSC_0294.jpg DSC_0296.jpg What could be the problem? Thanks! ONE love!

I think they look fine. Shes not really going to grow anymore leaves at this point. Shes using her energy for budding. You might not notice with the naked eye that she is most likely bulking up everyday. Every strain is diff, even they will do some rapid growth in the beginning , then direct energy in stem structure, roots etc etc then back to bud growth. Simultaniously or one at a time. So many factors in play also. Not sure if this makes sense...Im pretty baked atm:P

Alright. Thanks for the help! I will still continue to flush them and from there start adding some light nuts..

Why would you flush it. Theres NOTHING wrong with it. Don't do that, it shocks the plant and you will lose precious budding time while she tries to recover from the shock. Flushing should be used a last resort to keep the plant from dying.

They look good, not great. I've grown this strain numerous times in both soil and aeroponics. The leaves have never curled and by week 5, which is coming up tomorrow, the buds would be a lot more full. The soil is quite rich in wood/plant matter which is high in nitrogen and I did hit them with some heavy ferts for a trail run. With a single flush the level of fert in the soil will drop but should not diminish. I will post some more pictures in a week. Hopefully the girls will power through!

Peace & Love

I concur. Just saw this in some of my own plants. Cut out the nitrogen through the rest of the cycle, not sure I would have flushed.
I also got it on one of my OG crosses on my current grow. OG's are super sensitive. Last grow a larry og got it also but I didn't drop the N back and it got worse, this grow I dropped the N a little and it never progressed
