Yellowing out, freaking out!

I've given my smallest plant a pH'd watering with Recharge. I'm very curious to see how she makes out. If all fares well, I may do the same for the larger two at the next watering.

Did this just start when u flipped to 12/12?
Yeah, pretty much. I transitioned from veg to bloom nutes like I always do, but they just started yellowing from the bottom up. I figured I had a nitrogen deficiency, and treated it as such with no effect. It just kept getting worse.
I chalked it up to the tent getting dry (35-40% at 75°) and added a humidifier. This seemed to slow my loss of leaves, and the yellowing, but issues remain.

It is accumulating purple photons from the light source so it looks like a deficiency. Those are really trapped photons that are glowing their original colors.

The purple from the lamps definitely makes them look worse in the tent than out of the tent, but there is most definitely something negative going on.

The last pics posted are outside of the purple light.

I think the bud development rate is such that, although I probably hurt my overall yield, they'll still make it to harvest with a decent amount.

As it is, I'm only growing for myself, so anything more than a couple ounces is more than enough.. and I still have 3 OG Kush clones to flower when the first 3 plants are done.

I'm thinking another 2-3 weeks and they'll be ready for harvest.

I gave em half a dose of liquid kelp and half a dose of golden tree with their 2nd watering since the last top dressing. I'm proceeding cautiously for the rest of the grow.. as it is, their in week 7.

You could not be more right..
I'm getting the quantity I need, AND the experience required to avoid this in the future.. plus the buds are still swelling and I've got 3 clones that just got in the tent, so I'll be fine

Beginning week 8 now..

The discoloration is here to stay.. though at this point, I'm not sure it matters much.

The buds are swelling into their final weeks, and bud development clearly is doing fine for a single patient grow.

By the looks of the trichome pics, I'd say they're at least 2 full weeks away from harvest. There's still plenty of clear, and barely any amber, which is great because the bud is still swelling!
