A Troubling Development

This is my first fully organic grow of LA Confidential (fem). I'm in a 7 gallon cloth pot filled with Coast of Maine's Stonington mix and I used their dry and liquid ammendments according to instructions. I've got a Mars Hydro TS2000 hanging 19" above the canopy.

About 2 weeks ago, I noticed the leaves lightening and turning yellow over time. Today, the plant is in flower exactly 44 days since I saw the first pistils. I added Langbeinite soaked overnight to the last few watering and yellowing continues but not with newer leaves.

I've been adding unsulphered molasses and Terpinator as well. Any suggestions /comments would be greatly appreciated. She's got about 2 weeks to go

Any suggestions?

They look pretty
I have always found with molasses that its easy to overdo it
Since the only purpose is to feed the soil it does not sweeten the buds
I wouldn’t be adding it this far along in your grow
But that is just me
Some signs you either over fed , ran out of nitrogen or the mollasses clogged up your plants chakras :D
what strain sir?

Too much molasses can cause your medium to become super acidic and become an antagonist to other nutrients.
While it's simple to say it's a this or that deficiency, finding the limiting factor is crucial to fixing the issue.
I'd check the ph of your medium and suggest cooling off on the unnecessary voodoo brews and get the plant back on track

That's LA Confidential Herb, I appreciate the comments. I think I added way too much molasses to the soil. I won't be doing that any more, that's for sure. Thanks again!
