Concerned grower. My plant is acting weird

Hi everyone. I've got a plant that's in a 20gallon container that I buried to keep my plant height lower than my fence. I put rock in the bottom and on the side for drainage but after my last watering which was over 2 weeks ago the leaves still look overwatered. I assumed it was because if water buildup in the bottom of the hole but I added 2 pipes (one for air, one for drainage) and there hasn't been any water staying in the bottom. It's been a little over a week since it started flowering and I haven't started giving it The appropriate nutrients for bloom because it still looks overwatered, could the lack of nutrients that it requires in this stage be causing it to look overwatered? My biggest leaves have been turning yellow and I was told it's transporting nutrients. I just find it weird that it still looks overwatered even after more than 2 weeks no water

I don't see any real issue. I think you are just seeing the plant mature and the original fans start to fade/fall. I wouldn't fry over it or have too many concerns/think something is up unless you see smaller/newer leaves start to fade/yellow. Keep in mind that as they go into flower the tips often lime green up a bit just before the stretch. I personally remove the leaves as they yellow. Their job is over...and by removing them I can tell if more appear.

I would just watch her for changes. I would also start applying the bloom fert. A foliar feed with a micronute package (Microblast, Mineral Matrix, etc) might be wise if the fade spreads to smaller leaves.

Overall....from what i can see...she looks good. Best of luck with the finish

I highly agree it could be lack of nutrients because the last pic with all the brown around the edges and it don't look like it's burnt. When was the last time fed and how many ppms first week of flowering at least 1000-1200 ppms will give it a good shot in the arm.

Because the plant hasn't shown signs of underwatering I haven't given it any water for over 2 weeks. There is definitely something strange going on with this one. My other 2 plants are in containers above ground and they are having no trouble. I usually give 1000 ppm when I feed, I just bought bloom nutrients so I'm going to water it anyway and see if the lack of P and K are what's causing it to look overwatered. But I'm still not sure it's a good idea, I mean shit no water for 2 weeks and it hasn't wilted. I was giving it water once every 4 days then all of a sudden it stopped showing signs of needing water, I'm almost 100% sure it's because the container is 3/4 in the ground. And yes I made sure that there was excellent drainage incase of rain or run off

The thing is now that I think about it, it was doing fine right where it is up until the last time i watered it, so it might just be a nutrient problem

im paranoid now....but get a loupe and look for pests.....that one close up of a leaf looks like the start of russet mites. look right on edges that are getting discolored. Hopefully you see nothing.

I looked at other leaves like that and didn't see anything, that picture was from about a week ago, that leave has already turned yellow and been removed.
