How cold at night are we talking, I think if it's too cold it can lock out certain nutes like k, and might explain the redness.

Potassium – Too much sodium (Na) displaces K, causing a K deficiency. Sources of high salinity are: baking soda (sodium bicarbonate “pH-up”), too much manure, and the use of water-softening filters (which should not be used). If the problem is Na, flush the soil. K can get locked up from too much Ca or ammonium nitrogen, and possibly cold weather.

She exhausted her food supply and is consuming the fan leaves for stored nutrients. Very common in flowering, I've got some too, but can be avoided with better soil and nutrient set up.

That's my guess just from the picture. If you've been feeding heavy then I would rethink my answer.

Plant in the picture looks like its wilting from under watering. You ever let it get too dry where its leaves droop?
That can cause it to yellow more than normal.

i agree it looks like it wilted. Also looks very N deficient.

What's the NPK on it? I like to use pretty balanced low number stuff and then hit with an AACT. I agree that she looks thirsty, and believe that N deficiency often brings on a wilted look, so maybe a double whammy stress wise on her?

I'm not sure you'll improve her look much with feeding, but I would just to keep the bud development going as strong as possible.

Usually is is labeled on the package. AACT is Actviely Aerated Compost Tea. Just put down some of that organic fertilizer at next watering. Follow the application directions.

pick a sturdy branch with as little flower (nug) as possible on it. Clone it like normal, but try to cut off the nug and leave just the new growth and maybe a small fan leaf. Will clone as normal but take like 4 times as long. Use rooting hormone and keep high humidity and 80+ degrees. I would take a few good clones as it is likely not all will survive.
