Iron deficiency?? Please help:(

Hey guys!!
Im quite new to these forums so i apologize if any of this has been discussed before...
I started growing this OG kush from seed and i am in my 3rd week of flowering(started on july 3rd)..i have had to move it after the first week of flowering (on the 10th)but i have done that very carefully.. Shortly after moving to the new, bigger box i have been experiencing some yellowing around the bud leaves (None of the lower leaves)..i did a lot of reading and figured it was probably iron deficiency due to a PH imbalance..after moving it, i watered it a 2 or 3times and the ph level wasnt properly adjusted, im afraid it was a bit high (over 7.5...)
I am using a 25l pot (6.5 gallons) so i flushed it with 50l of ph 6 water to get rid of all the salts and the high ph water on the 17th (after exactly 2weeks of switching to 12/12) and i am now praying that the leaves go back to the good old green...here are some pics taken just before flushing..
Any advice on what i can do now except wait...? When should i start feeding again? My last feed was thursday 17th but since i flushed the soil that same night i am pretty sure everything is gone..i am using connoisseur from advanced nutrients..has anyone ever experienced yellowing of the upper bud leaves..?? How long does it take for the plant to get its colors back??
Any help or input would be very appreciated

Many times, leaves with nutrient issues will not return to their vibrant green color. Just make sure there are no new leaves discoloring.

Also, it's normal to get yellowing during the last 3-4 weeks before harvest as the buds pull energy from the leaves.

Yes but the yellowing -should- start on the bottom of the plant not the top

Sometimes, not always in my experience. But it's always normal around the bud sites.

Yeaa i am still only at the beginning of flowering...this excessive yellowing is getting me worried...hopefully having flushed everything will help a little..

It should, shoot for 6.0

You flushed,,,,,ouch. I never flush, simply water the problem away with straight water pHed to 6.5 for a week.
Add a Ca/Mg product to your feedings. Add a "Zyme" product also.
Feeding every other watering right?

Only N def will "recover" in leaves.

Aaaaaa dont say that!! Oh well, its done now...Actually i feed once a week..and probably water about two times in between each feed

dont

Calm down,,,it'll be fine. Just give it time to dry out again.....Please add the Ca/Mg and the Zyme though.

I like to water a metered amount daily for the added O2 to the roots......I water at lights on and their ready again the next day, right at the same time.

Thanks for the advice! For the water, are u saying that you water less but more often for added oxygen to the roots? Sounds like a good idea and one that makes sense...ive been doing exactly the opposite, since the 17th when i flushed it, i watered it 3 times with 3.5l of water everytime... Thats the amount i need to start seeing it run through the bottom..first time with straight water with sensizyne from advanced nutrients, second time with 3/4 strength of connoisseur 2part and sensizyme, and the third time with 1/3 strength of connoisseur and sensizyme...i am attaching a couple pics for how they look now...it kinda looks like nute burn...not sure but i find it weird...the sensizyme i use is 3years old and the bottle was open..stored in a dark and dry space though...could it have gone bad?? I wish i would have read your post sooner i think i will start water around 1l every day or other day..i also have air stones for the water...would that help?

How about the next grow you deep six the AN and simply get a bottle of Dyna-Gro "grow" (veg).
When the seedlings are old enough for feeding. Feed with the Dyna one day and straight water the next.
pH everything mixed to 6.5 (and the straight water too) and use JUST that all the way to the end of bloom.
I'll bet you will be VERY happy with the results.
The only thing I might add would be a Ca/Mg and a Silica to the feedings.
