-pics- Yellowing in Flowering is normal, but, is this too much?

Hi y'all...

We all know (or at least should know) that when plants are flowering, their nitrogen hunger decreases, hence their fan leaves start going yellow and falling.

But this girl of mine is just toooo yellow, and the fact that some of her leaves are a little burnt on the tips scare me a little. She's way deep into flowering.

She has received the same treatment as the other girls you can spot in the pictures. Same soil, watering and they all been feeding with a balanced nute mix. The only abnormal thing this girl had, was a little mealybug/scale insect infestation that is now eradicated. Could this little bastards suck up so many sap that hurt my plant?

Check out the pics and tell me what do you think. What should I do? Maybe just give her that nute mix more often, since she's the one more deeply into flowering... what do you think?

wow. im trying to think about this one.. maybe during Veg, you gave the plant an overload of nitrogen(or maybe the plant couldnt handle the nitrogen you gave it). now in flowering, it is throwing it all back up quickly. that could be a reason, but dont hold me to it... :peace:

yes if the ph is off it will block the the uptake of nutrients ,

My friend brought his PH O' metter. We got a pretty decent PH for the soil. If Im not mistaken it was around 7.5-7.8

What do you think guys? Should I feed her some extra something?

I personally don't think you have to worry at all. it is natural to lose leaves to yellowing. mine are all in that stage that your is showing and the buds just keep getting bigger by the day. i give it no nitrogen at all and large doses of P & K and they look fabulous.

personally i dont think you have anything to worry about. the bud leaves are still green and it looks to me like its just the fan leaves that are turning. i have one that looks identical to that and the ph is 6.4. if i were you i would feed her a mix of molasses and water till harvest.

Thanks guys. You gave me some peace of mind.

The buds look good, I was just worried cause I've never got a plant that is so much yellow. She's so bushy! yum...
