Looks to me like your plants pulling nitrogen from the bottom leaves to use in it's 2 week stretch phase that happens the first 2 weeks of flower. After those 2 weeks you can cut all your nitrogen off and just focus on Potassium and Phosphorus and any macro notes it may be needing as well. Hope this helps.
Thanks, and I was thinking that too, could be the case. But I do know I didn’t use the right size pot and the roots are packed super tight. The bother lights is the only one I’m having a issue with the fastberry doing good in the smaller part. This is a pic with no purple light on my fastberry

Nice colors!! How far along are you in flower right now?? What size pot do you have them in? A good general rule of thumb buddy is for every foot of growth you plan on having, you need 1 gal of root space. So for instance you want a 5 foot tall plant, 5 gallon grow pot. Follow that and you will never go wrong.

Thanks man. And I was impatient and just bought some small pots. Didn’t want to wait for mail or drive and hour to get fabric pots. But it’s my first auto grow. Live and learn. The purple fastberry is going into week 3. And the northern lights had had signs of flower now for about a week. But I’m an update she looking way better.

With cloth pots you can drop into another larger pot no need to disrupt the roots at all, will grow right through pots. Best way ever, got one planted that way now, except has 5ltr bucket net innit too. Doing very well. Fit 10g perfectly. Went from hydro to soil to hydro and back to soil, never skipped a beat. Suprising what they can take.
Holy.. that sounds like the plant version of a Turduchen lol
