Deficiency or normal process?

6 wks in. Soil, run off 6.3-6.9. FF liquid and granular with calimagic as per directions. Following their schedule, flush only with ph h20 that's been bubbling 24+ hours. I understand leaves can yellow towards the end. Is this the normal or something different? Affected leaves are supple and feel healthy, just yellow. If it is a deficiency, should I really do anything this far along?

Also, trichome heads are all milky, very little with clear stems. Very little amber. And I mean like a dozen only. I figure 1-2 weeks then start flushing out? Anyway, thanks in advance! Sorry bout the fuzzy pics, shitty pad for pics...lol.

She looks a little over-fed.....

Damn milky with a little amber...that's when I harvest mine, I like that cerebral high...too much amber makes me sit on the couch and fall asleep ...and yep, you're over feeding them...if it was me I'd start my flush now and take em' in a week...looks good though man good job

I would also flush now, but probably wait two weeks to harvest. Not because the plant needs the time, but because it takes a minute to flush all that nonsense out of the soil (especially considering you have an excess at present) unless you deluge flush the things, and I'm not a big fan of that.

I would go straight water as heavily as they'll tolerate without being a deluge (being mindful of RH of course), and hope it all came out in two weeks, maybe a few days shy.

Oh, they do look nice though!

ETA: I don't mean to over-water or keep the soil wet, just to give a generous dose of straight water when they need watering so there's runoff, then let them air out for a while just like normal. Just felt like clarifying

deficiencies start toward the bottoms of the plant. Some deficiencies will block uptake of other nutes causing abundance and possibly burn, so something to consider is your NPK ratio, you are possibly not feeding enough N and too much PK. If I were you, I would look into the ratios people use when using your specific nutes, and how heavy they go with them.

Thank you all for the great advice. Will definitely research the ratios that others have been using. I'll start using straight water and see where I'm at in a week. Was a little confused as to how long of a window i had before it was too late. i know they will mature more in the last 1-2 weeks of straight water, just didnt want to go too soon. thanks for the clarification. I'll update my journal when it's time to cut them. Gonna do the whole 24 hour dark before harvest. Trying to put all the great advice this forum has into my routine. This is the first go around for me. Got another crit Kush and one liberty haze ready to go after this round. Last supercrop session was 2 days ago. Going to let them go now and fim tops as I need to get that nice even canopy. Not going to use this screen though. Maybe just get a simple net to support the colas if they start tipping over. The two of them are pretty much filling the entire 3 x 3 space I have. Also, i found the screen is making watering a little difficult due to the short space. Again, many thanks all!
