fed tonight at a much higher dose. Figure I'll hit them with a high PPM feeding or two before I have to cut back to use the gravity. Now's the time they would be needing the higher boost anyways as the bulking weeks are about to begin. Still not sure if it's an underfeeding, or overdose/salt problem that is causing the yellowing. The buds are looking pretty good for the most part, hopefully they'll pack on a ton of weight in the next few weeks.
One thing I have noticed is it seems like more pistils are turning orange compared to the previous grows. I haven't found any nanners, nor have the affected calyxes started to produce any seed. So dunno what's up with that, possibly interrelated to the yellowing?
I'm just crossing my fingers this isn't going to hose my grow, I really need this one to give me at least a qp to get me through the summer.

Well I know it's been a while since I've updated. I wasn't really happy about how this grow turned out. I fucked up by not calibrating my pH pen and so this entire grow my actual pH levels were a full point below what I thought it was. So these girls were fed at around 5.0 pH for most of the grow. Explains a lot of the yellowing, stunted and slow growth, leaf problems etc. I was able to get 3 or so weeks of feeding in at a proper pH and I think that helped tremendously.
Anyways total flowering duration was 68 days, I found one nanner on a plant and there was a ton of foxtailing this run. Maybe I overestimated flowering times? Maybe it was due to the pH problems, but I felt like these girls could have been chopped last week. I would have too but they needed a flush so they got the extra week. Next run with them I'll chop a plant at 55-60 days and see how well it fares compared to those I let sit for 65+.
I'm thinking I'll end up with around 5 oz's this grow, but I dunno honestly. The big buds are all rock hard and some of the smaller ones are a little fluffy but still dense. So I may end up with more then I think I have. In the end if I pull a QP I hit my 1 oz per plant minimum and will have more then enough to last me until my next harvest. These girls are also super resinous. At the end of the chop I culled about .5 gms of scissor hash to enjoy plus enough trim to give me another gram or two of oil at least. Haven't had any hash since I chopped my ax x diesel girls so I'm super excited about that.
Anyways, I'm taking a week off to let these girls dry and to take a small break from maintenance. I have four kushberry clones (two from each mom i have) ready to go in by next Fri/Sat. I'll be popping the OG18 seeds next, and I'm thinking of running that cherry slyder again if I can find the room.
Anyways, that ends this grow although I'll be running this LA for a good while as I really enjoy it.

Buds look great, can't even tell the PH was an issue. Someone is going to have fun this summer.

Thanks guys! When they finish drying I'm going to take my gf's digi and see if I can get it to produce a better quality photo. The buds are just dripping with resin and I'd really like to show it off.
At least 206 knows what I'm seeing 
I fucked up on a small branch and snipped off a tiny piece that's just about to dry enough to smoke. I'm gonna pop it in a bowl tonight and give it a rip, I'm sure it will be at least as good as last time (though I'm hoping for stronger). After smoking the LA I chopped previously for a month, the ak x diesel I have kicking around feels like mids compared to it heh.
