Soil: promix BX
Lighting: two mars hydro ts1000's & one 600
Nutrients: green planet duel fuel. Potassium silicate and epsom salt.
Tent: 5x5
Strains: 3 do-si-do 1 Gelato
Recent things done to them, I have noticed yellowing/lime green new growth on my plants and deceived to jump the nuts up a bit. It seemed to work and my gelato gas recovered mostly it seems.
But the 3 do si dos have still stayed the same up until 3 days ago I gave them a flush (just the 3 do si dos) because I noticed the run off water was coming out at 5.3. I flushed until the run off was just starting to run clear, the PH was 6.3 after the flush than replied nutes after 3 hours. Theyve seemed to gave gained some more green colour back, but the one in the biggest pot is having a hard time still. Don't know what to do as I want to flower them soon. Any advice?

It looks like they want more nitrogen. Just a little more tho. I had an auto that was the same way. I contacted the breeder and they confirmed that the strain was a nitrogen sucking machine. You can flip, but I wouldn't flush anymore, and continue grow nutes until stretch is done.

I'll definitely try to keep up with their feeding needs, if they a bit greener tomorrow I think I'm going to flip!

I wouldn't take this advice. They look healthy as is. New rapid growth is often a little more yellow like these photos.

Please. You are trying to say they are nitrogen deficient.

That's like me saying you told the op the plants are 100% healthy.
If you're into letting your plants yellow because it wasn't given enough food that's cool.

I should have clarified.. but I am speaking on the plant in the back, 2nd pick in the OP.

I agree they're not in optimal shape. Nowhere near. I was basically just wondering if they can recover and go in to flower at the same time.

NEwer growth sometimes looks lighter - those plants look pretty good - it is too easy to micro manage plants - looking at every color spot ir something.

Uniformly they look good- just flip the bitches - continue a normal feed well into stretch phase THEN target bloom feeding after stretch has slowed or stop THEN plants are officially blooming.

A nitrogen deficency will usually show up on the oldest growth first. Your biggest oldest leaves look pretty deep green to me, but maybe my tired 60+ old eyes are fooling me.

If you look hard enough you will always find something wrong.
These plants look healthy and strong, the op has done a great job.
Stop nit picking

So, the plants already seem to be greening up, I have raised my lights a rad, adjusted the intensity down a bit. And increased air flow. I did some research and found some threads where this person had very similar symptoms to me, he said he fixed his greening tops by doing exactly what I did.
I cant find the source rip.

The yellowing on that new growth has nothing to do with lack of nutrients, especially nitrogen. Please stop giving out terrible advice.

You call all that yellowing new growth? Looks like it’s on more than new growth. The other plants look like they are mature enough to flower so all the tops are showing that yellowish glow... but this plant is not looking the same. Look at that leaf on the bottom... I’ve grown a strain that had the same yellowing. I’m speaking from experience. You claim this yellowing is on the new growth only and they are healthy.. that’s false. I stand behind the fact the OP’s plant in the picture here is lacking N/not healthy. I’ve got nothing else on the matter. The OP can make his own judgement.

Its still new growth. Some of it is definitely genetic for sure but I'm seeing an improvement by changing my environment. IE lowering light intensity, heat. And increasing airflow.
