flowering problems!

I have one small lady in the backyard, she started off in my3x3x6 grow tent under 400w MH for the first 3 weeks after she sprouted. Using fox farm oceanforestputting mix from the start. Now I'm week 5-6 in flower (showed signs of sex thanswitched to flowing light schedule) and the fan leaves I have left after defoliation areturning yellow/people FAST! I know thisisnatural, but is it so this soon in flower? Onlyabout 10% of the hairs turned orange andreceded back, and i have already startedflushing with water and molasses... Is thisOK or a little too soon? Also I haven'tnoticed much of a bud swell?

Hmm, I don't flush myself but that plant is a long way from finishing. Looks hungry.

Stop removing fan leaves. Stop flushing. You have 4 weeks minimum left. Keep up your normal fertilizing schedule. This is when your plant needs the nutrition for your final bud development. Fan leaves are the solar panels of the plant. Read more cannabis grow manuals.

You do have quite a bit of time left, a solid month at least. The bud swell will come!

Yeah, I agree, feed that bitch!

Most people who flush at the end of their run misunderstand why they might want to do it in the first place. I never flush, I feed the fuck out of them until the end, though I do stop using MgSO4 and CalMag toward the last two or three weeks. Flushing can speed up the drying and curing process, but you sacrifice some yield as a tradeoff, it depends what your priorities are. Unflushed weed tastes better, contrary to popular mythology.

Flushing because of nute burn or lockout is a good idea, though, for sure.

Alright thanks guys, I used the advanced nutrients jungle juice trio until now, but which one should I start using again, grow, bloom, or micro?

Well your plant is blooming. What does the label on your nutrients say? With Advanced Nutrients it's advisable to use less than the recommendation. I'd mix bloom recipe at half to third strength for blooming stage. I looked at their website but all the milliliter this week of this and that gave me a headache. Why do people waste their time with these complicated and unnecessary feeding routines? I value my time.

Don't flush.

Don't rip off fan leaves, they provide energy for the plant.

And don't use too much molasses near the end, it can impart a flavor to the buds.

Yeah man I've noticed the AN JJ is a little complex, I know now what not to buy for my next project, and of course she is in bloom I'm so worried about ruining my potential potency/yeild I can't fucking think straight! Well I just went out and fed her hopefully I bought my self an extra week or two before all her leaves are dead, I did have to jump a day in watering schedule, was every three days, today is the second but went ahead and fed her a little bit anyways, thanks again guys
