Too much abuse? Yield loss?

I started some mixed seed and worked my way down to some winners. However, they haven't had a great go of it.

They were sulfur and phosphorous deficient for the first month and I didn't figure it out until I put the higher power veg lights on them. I also put those lights too close and stressed the plant, sorta hurt new shoots a little but it's progressing again.

However, they grew a node or two of twisted, 3-leaf growth (I'm guessing due to sulfur deficiency) which it seems to be bouncing back from. I mainlined them so they're still only about a foot tall and 2-3 nodes up from the last topping. Approaching flowering time in another week or two.

So with the deficiencies and light now corrected, can I expect a good yield if I don't screw up the flowering?

Sounds more like a pH issue instead of a sulfur deficiency. Pics are very helpful along with the other grow info.

Ph is fine. Growing in a diy organic soil. The new growth showed yellowing in the veins and deformation, which points to sulfur deficiency. Not to mention I've been using an organic ProMix water in nutrient that has pretty much everything except sulfur. Supplemented with some calcium sulfate (drywall dust) and it got better.

What I really wanna know is if my bud will be worse because of this and other set backs? All look healthy and mainlined now, the leaves are back to 5-7 fingers per leaf. Looked weird for a bit, like they were ruderalis or were throwing another set of first leaves.

Does anyone know if a difficult crop with lots of mistakes during veg can flower ok? Or should I take my lessons and scrap the month and a half of veg and restart?

Do not scrap. Keep going. If you are now on top of it and the roots are healthy you’ll get bud.

Sry, forgot to turn off the lights, 3500k spectrum makes them look a little washed out. Very healthy and dark green in other lighting.DSC_0571.JPG DSC_0573.JPG DSC_0572.JPG DSC_0574.JPG

Not really a point in scrapping it now unless it alone will hold you back from starting your next round of plants. Like Harley said, if you're ontop of it and it is healthy going into flower albeit not as big as it would've been without the stressers, you will still come out with bud. That is going to be majorly determined by how much foliage the plant has going into flower, so you may consider veggying her a little longer to get some more foliage...but you should be good to go going forward.
