ive had a couple of plants do this as well.. ealry in flower and even in late veg they had a lovely dank smell to them, than about five or six weeks in, the smell almost completely vanished, only to come back towards the end of the grow and it also came out more in the cure of course..

i have a couple that are yellowing a little but i am still seeing growth so i figured it was natural. it has been a few weeks since i put de on them and when i did i saw fungus knats. could they have been the problem?

i am using botanicare pure blend bloom every other watering at 2 tbs per gallon should i cut back? they are growing in miracle gro with perilite added. and i use one drop of superthrive in every gallon.

If I remember that stuff doesnt really have any nitrogen at all...it might just be that they havent had any for a while. Because a plant can only use so much phosphorus...And yes, I would probably cut back on that dosage because it does seem alittle high...but then again what week are you in? And how big are your pots by the way? As far as the superthrive...I really dont think its going to do too much while you are in flower...its just a tonic - as long as its really just a drop or so I dont think you would have any issues. I use thrive-alive sporadically through flower myself...
 
if your 6 and a half weeks in shud u not be starting to flush in the next few days if your growing in soil? mybe your just used to the smell ;-)
