Your plant is stressing and it's not in full health.
Give the molasses a rest, it's not helping during this time.
I recommend alternate watering between the 20-20-20 and the CC.
See how it shapes up.
What week of flower are you in?

No, not to concerned, but you are only half way through flowering and your leaves should look better. You should not be losing this many leaves this early and your stems are really red too.
It's good that the buds look good, but you need leaves as well for healthy buds.
Stick to the watering schedule i suggested for the next 2 weeks and then we'll see how she's doing.
I personally think mollasses is over rated as a booster, especially if your using the CC as well. Your plant is getting to much of some things and not enough of the other. It's a weed remember and doesn't need that much nutes, just a nice even balance of them.
i have a cheap electrical soil meter and it always reads 6.8-7 but no, i do not ph my runoff, though i know ph shouldnt be too much of a problem cause ive got dolomite lime mixed in w the soil which should help level the pH. i dont wanna nute burn this baby, last two waterings ive been using nutes, but i guess it cant hurt to give it some more if its having a N deficiency

Cool mate.
Give her a good drink with plenty of run off to get rid of any molasses that's left in the soil.
On a side note, when you get a chance, take a pic of one of your buds and use it in your avatar.
You've got some good buds there and it's time to start connecting them to your name.

I think i will switch over to a new avatar now that you mention it.
So ive noticed that the stems branching up are turning a bluish purple. Is this another deficiency, i do recall people saying that in some plants its normal.
Also, noticed the lower leaves on my plant are turning a reddish color and certainly losing its green. i wanted to water it with jacks 20-20-20 solution, but the soil is still somewhat damp and dont want to rot the roots so i guess ill just have to tough it out for another day or so

Yes, definitely wait until she dries out before you water.
Red, blue, purple stems can be strain related but also signs of deficiency.
I reckon your plant is getting to much P and not enough N and K.
An overload of phos' will lock out things like zinc also.
The red you see on those bottom leaves is probably potassium deficiency.
Plants actually need more potassium than phosphorus during flower that's why I recommend sticking with that 20-20-20 nut mix and use the CC sparingly and molasses only towards the end.
not really sure, you tell me
think i should start flushing her out?
should i use molasses again?
how much longer do you think i should wait? i don't have any magnifier
btw. my stems are all purple, ive been flushing but it doesnt seem to do the trick, though the buds are looking pretty healhy
one last question, how much do you think ill have after curing???
