By the way leaves look maybe a little droopier because I kicked the lights on for the picture
Purple stems are common, as far as I know more so under LED. They look nice enjoying their bedtime sleep

Hello @Rich96 I started browsing over my morning coffee before I head off to work. Yellowing leaves on a flowering plant is so normal. As a plant matures and buds grow larger and larger the leaves yellow and die off. In this case I would recommend doing some de-foiling the plant. Trim some of the big fan leaves out to open plant up to air flow. This process also helps the buds to grow larger. If you haven’t, at the minimum invest in a PH meter. I’m posting up a photo for you. I am only growing two girls this time because of my last harvest being pretty decent.
What you see is a stretched out Durban Poison and a beautiful Banana Kush. Tag me if you have more questions. I am always happy to help😎

@Rich96 you can see on my Durban dying yellow leaves at the bottom. Plant stretched due to “blurple” lights and I had to tie her bent over. I have nute burn on the BK from throwing in molasses with the other nutes😖 lol. BUT she is still healthy and almost ready to harvest. I have new Visio sun and the buds on this crop have turned fat and juicy.

Thank you sir and yes I have an apera pH pen. From all of you guys suggestions I have decided I will defoliate some of my larger fan leaves towards the top as I really was wanting to do so about a week ago but after reading mixed things kind of got scared away but I just feel as if there’s no way the stress from it is going to outweigh the results from getting the better light and airflow throughout the plants. Appreciate it

@Rich96 check my thread to see my girl under the light. I only had her under a few hours and she had no purple except the stem it’s now begining to show purple at top of buds and leaves😁

Just got done removing most of all the larger fan leaves and the ones blocking bud sites on the lower parts of the plants. I am trying to play it safe but do you guys think I should take even more off?

Ran into a few (seemingly minor for now) problems and made another thread HERE
@Underthestairs
@MidwestGuy
@Dclark
@Lacewing
@Vtbudz
Any thoughts on that would be great…
You’ll do better to have all your things on one thread and tag people over.
That way you can use it for a reference at the end and those helping you can see all the info from the start.

@Rich96 she looks a little hungry to me but wait to see if anyone else has to say.
Yup she’s deffo hungry bro
Here are pictures from just now. The one with the problems also seems to be most mature and my highest yielded out of all of them so far. I took a picture of another flower site on a plant that looks just fine to show the difference…If she needs more nutrients do you guys recommend next feed that I give her a higher dose of nutes than the others???
It’s tough to tell but in the last day I think it is getting slowly worse…

Yeah give her a little more but remember ever seed is different and needs. What week you at again of flower if shes closer to the end could be she wants to finish quicker good luck grow on 
.
Roughly beginning of the 4th week. If I had to stick one date to when they all were in full flower I would say 9-2. How much would you up the feed if im running RB’s flowertime only at about 60 percent strength last feed
Try to up your ph to 6.7 and would go up just a little with the strength and she should be happy.
