They look like they're fighting for space. But I'm a newbie, sooooooo.bongsmilie
 
They will still require nitrogen for the first 2-3 weeks of flower when they are stretching. I wait till then before switching to flowering nutes so they don't go def in N. What do you have for flowering nutrients?

Flower Fuel, powdered seaweed and cal-mag. Just thought I would throw that in there so I may get some feedback?

Strength on that cal mag?? How much N is in it and how much are you feeding? Ive never used flower fuel or powdered seaweed so i have no idea whats in those but if you’re nitrogen deficient there should be some much needed N in that Cal Mag.

Thank you all for the responses my soil is at 7.3 ph so I think I'm locked out gonna do some adjusting and hopefully it all ends well I threw some Mr Bs green tree 15-5-5 on lime a idiot because I panicked...can i add Cal Mag to dirty dozen by Fox Farm? Also someone told me only use half of recommended nutrients when outdoor in smart pots. Is this true?

Go easy on them!!
Your plants look healthy enough that you really shouldn't be panicking right now. You could easily do more harm than good....if you recently added 15-5-5 then don't add anything more for a few days. Just water and wait...yellow is the least concerning general colouration on a weed plant. It is after all something that you want to happen (within reason) towards the end of the flowering period.

Thanks you guy ls here is what they look like today...I have a feeling what I did wrong was feed while someone was talking to me l, and I gave 5 gallons of water only enough nutrients for 1 gallon...I'm a idiot I know, but thanks so very much for ur input.

Weed requires ever increasing amounts of everything up until the last 2 weeks of flowering. Then cut the food back 60%.

All Nitrogen is to a Plant, is Protein to a human.

Humans eat protein, and our bodies turn it into Nitrogen. Plants skip the process, and take in straight Nitrogen.

Why in the world would one want to restrict Protein, when you will be making the biggest gains/growth period for the first 6 weeks, of an 8 weeks flowering strain? In an 8 weeks strain, its also beneficial to increase Magnesium in weeks 5-6........ 0-52-34 boost is also beneficial in weeks 2.5-4in an 8 weeks strain.

Its an urban myth to restrict Nitrogen, unless its at the very end, then everything is restricted. Flushing, is also a myth.
