There is nothing natural about a plant yellowing at any stage of flowering.

So anyone with any input on still feeding nitrogen with only 3 weeks left? Will it really make a difference at this point? If giving them a little will help bud production I am all for it Though I heard it affects the taste or is that bullshit if dried and cured properly?

Then they are becoming deficient at 30 days flowering. Its only become common because its easier to blame the plant rather than the grower. And the widespread use of the so called cannabis specific nutes. Cannabis is an annual and should be treated as such...and there is not an annual that I know of that starts to shed leaves at the prime of its life, fruiting, flowering and trying to reproduce...and yes some strains are more finicky than others when its comes to feeding programs...keep em green till the end for prime harvests.....

Sure, 1/2 tablespoon or so of the FE is fine. I use Foxfarm nutes, just the Grow Big(6-4-4) and Tiger Bloom(2-8-4) though and continue to include 1/2 teaspoon or so of the GB all the way through flower.......oh ya and like you Dozer I also use well water around 275ppm and 7.8 pH with no worries...no need for CalMag cause its already in the water source. Occasionally I need to amend with a bit of epsoms salts for additional Magnesium and Sulphur...

Beautiful Cowboy! Not much yellowing going on there.Thanks for the tip on cal mag was told even though it is in my well water my plants cant use it. Is that bullshit? I have always used my well water right from the tap to feed my weed outdoors without a hitch.Thanks again

For nitro shock, I use egg shells, soaked ina cup of water for a day then added in equal amounts to my water. Also burying the shells, crumbled, into the soil works well. Only a lil pinch per plant tho. Too much may can also hurt your ladies.

I'd lower your soil PH a bit. Isn't soil PH meant to be under 7.0 with around 6.3 being more popular.
As far as leaving yellowing during flower I just finished week 3 of flower and I had a lot of leaves that had yellowed/were dying and needed pruning. My policy has been to chop any leaf that even looks slightly sick. My thinking is that the plant needs a lot of energy to make those fat buds so a lot of trimming/pruning may be necessary in flower.
Probably have enough trim to make hash already!

Plants do require a lot of energy during flower. And fan leaves are what supply that energy, the more you lose the less energy the plant can produce...

Cant believe the smell these ladies have been giving off the last two days! I am used to that musky skunk scent from growing outdoors. This is such a sweet almost fruit like smell. Fed them today half tsp. neptunes fish and seaweed for n and half strength bloom and bio bud. was concerned with some of the top colas not forming together but, it looks like they are starting to grow again and fatten up. The next 2 weeks will seal the deal. As far as feeding goes. Then a week to finish.
