Nutrient Burn ?

lmfao this has turned out to be a great first post for me.
So sounds like, even though they are yellowing, just feed water - cut feeding down a bit - and look to harvest later than sooner

and possibly feed molasses during final 2 week flush

My opinion,
It does look like nute burn. Toward the end of flower I normally start reducing Ppm in my nutes as I prepare the plant for her flush. I never feed heavy. Just to give you an example. For the first week of flower I stay in between 600-700 ppm. Mid flower I’m around 800 ppm. By week 6 of an 8 week strain I’m down to 500-550. I use coco an always flush for the last two weeks.
I’ve read, we should not use molasses during flush bc u will taste it in final product. Don’t quote me on that.
Id give her half of what you’ve been giving her until week 7 if you plan on letting her go 9 weeks or so.
I’ve been growing 4 years. I’m no pro. This is my opinion an what I’d do.
best of luck brother.

I don't know if they're yellowing from a lack of P or K, or a lockout. I'd feed less and see how they respond. They either want more or less Bloom food. You gotta be the judge. I'd do plain water for a bit and flush some of the salts out.

You can use molasses now. It's not some magic bud sweetener if that's what you're thinking. It's more to feed the microbes, and it has some K in it. Do you have any microbes you add?

If you've been feeding that often then I'm also inclined to think you've got some lockout. If these were mine I would just continue with only watering and see if the yellow stops spreading. Correcting a nutrient shortage is a lot easier than correcting excessive salt buildup in the soil.
