Autoflower in week 3 of flowering...sugar leaves yellowing

Nesia started flowering beginning of week 5 and we are getting close to starting week 9. My girl is an Amnesia Express (hence her name). Anyways, she is my 2nd grow so I definitely fall under the newbie category. I feed her fox farm nutes (not full strength), cal-mag when needed and molasses. She is a closet grow under 600w led. She is in coco-coir, perlite, vermiculite and worm castings. I think I may have given her too much grow formula and then when increasing the Tiger Bloom I may have given her an excess of Nitrogen?? Should I flush her at this point?

Take a picture under normal light.

These are the 2 affected Colas so far....and I miscalculated. She's on week 5 of flowering.

Thanks for getting back to me!! So, per your request here is an up close and personal...Do you think she needs to be flushed? I had someone watch them while I was away and am assuming they may have used tap water (ours is very hard water) and maybe with the CalMag it may have affected the Calcium? Or is it maybe a Potassium issue? I've done research and come up not knowing what to do.

Flushing is nothing more than myth perpetrated by nutrient companies. It’s bullshit.
Ironically, I just read an article stating just that. I would think the ladies still need nutrition, being that they are fattening up. How is it that you do it? Do you start weaning them? (Giving them less and less nutrients) I don't know what to do...they are getting worse...

Isn’t the signs of yellowing due to the plants buds robbing the leaves nutes? Nitrogen is sucked up from old leaves. Imo I would still feed nutes but make sure when you feed you have 20-30% run off. You can also feed nutes then top feed just ph water so you can wash some excess salts.

Also I’d suggest getting some plant probiotics so they can help you out it makes everything much easier

Here she is now. I have been giving her PHd water and very light nutes with CalMag...this girl doesn't have much longer and I must say, she is beautiful. I also hope she tastes as good as she smells. She smells amazing! Thank you all for your time. I do appreciate it.

I just ordered a heap of Auto seeds. What kind of yield do you think you will get from this plant? Looks awesome!

I am not sure! I am pleasantly surprised. Especially since I'm still very much a newbie. I will be cutting her as soon as she shows me she's ready and I'll let you know her weight. I love Autos. I have a Critical Purple that was so healthy I topped her and she is going great! I'm LSTing my Kush and am kinda letting Haze do her thing. As far as this one...she did great with LST training and minor "haircuts" along the way. I'm going to try to take a few close ups so you can kind of get an idea...

be careful not to light bleach your babies, keep em a good space away from your lights. about 18-24in.

Autos don't need a lot of nutes. Your growing medium mix sounds a little weird to me. Weird in the sense that it seems to be in between two common mediums?

Hello @Capn-Crunch, I appreciate your input. However, I did a lot of research and so far the way I prepare the medium works for me. As far as the nutes, I give them minimal. I did notice that some strains require a drop more than others and vice-versa. @MATTYMATT726 I apologize for the delay in sending you a pic in normal light. Here she is. I still see some sporadic crystal clear trichs, majority is cloudy (no amber) and I would rather that...
