Ok ,I have 4 pots about 2 3/4 gal, the 2 pots on the right seem very healthy cept for a few places where over nute shows. The front left pot is ok too but the left rear pot is pretty damaged. They were all fed exactly the same, now at 52 days flowering donno if I'm gonna get anything off that plant. Triches on the damaged plant are turning while the good plants remain mostly clear. I've flushed them and stopped feeding them but doesn't seem to help......that branch on that plant is dying. Here are the latest pics

They look alright. Ok, they kind of look like they have been in a gang fight, or were fed drano. But it happens. Plants will always yield better if you just barely under feed them when just going into flower. Or should I say, err on the side of under feeding. It happens sooo much that once the flowers come out, they jsut pour every damn thing into their plants thinking they are some super hungry monster plant from another world.

I have learned this from trial and error. My current batch is a little burnt... but i'm hydro and I was out of town so I couldn't top off with plain water.

not sure what to think, there sems to be 0 growth the last couple weeks, the triches seem to stay clear to cloudy, thinking it's time to pull the plug on this one !

Unless you have supplemental lighting for the bottom canopy/screen, you are not going to have a good yield at all. The plant will be focusing much of its energy on the lower canopy...pulling energy from the top buds to produce airy, whispy popcorn buds underneath.

Cull the bottom canopy and focus on the top....or add a lot more light. If it were me I would trim out the bottom and focus on the top canopy only.

what do you think about harvesting the top canopy and then letting the secondary grow for another week or two and then harvesting the second?

Sub-canopy growth won't be worth the effort.
Clean up the understory and allow the plants to focus on the upper buds.

if its ur first time I say dont cut at this point into flowering... just let them grow they get enough light

you can cut the stuff at the very bottom but dont cut any nice buds between the 2 screen... only my opinion... my scrog is also pretty thick now but everything is growing well.
