this is what happens when I do 500-550ppfd. what is the reason for this? does this greatly affect the amount of harvest?

this has been the case since day one, but now it is a more important problem.

How many hours is your "day"? 12 hours, I presume? At 400 ppfd for 12 hours, DLI is only 17, which is way low for flower. Most guides say 35-40 for flower. So, if you increase light (dimmer?) the plant does what?

I have this problem since the first day. at first I was giving 200ppfd. I can give a maximum of 400ppfd at flowering. is there a reason and no solution to this? i think this will reduce my harvest a lot, please help

Your in week 5. Is that 5 weeks of 12/12 or 5 weeks of true flower (approximately 7 weeks of 12/12)

I see some fading that looks like nitrogen but a picture of the whole plant would help show more. However I believe you may have some limitations of photosynthesis because of lower than adequate nutrient. Nitrogen being one of them.

I have a nitrogen deficiency, but the situation is the same with all my other plants that do not lack nutrients. does this cause little harvest?

I have been having this problem since the first day of seed. but during the fruiting period it turned into a much more important problem
