Hey, thanks riu peeps!!!
Last night, I watered them with regular nutes and epsom salt since PK was showing the sign of Mg deficiency. Let's see if it fixes the yellowing. Here is my small video update.

Thanks Endur0xX! Again, I've always had great green thumb. I just have never grown anything this magical... in the completely controlled environment on top of that. which makes it a little more easy to grow. In three weeks, I can sleep through a night without the fan noise...
Here is a new close-up bud porn to share. Best served in HD.

Your plants look extremely healthy! You're definitely a talented grower. I hope to be putting up pictures of my grow journal very soon!

It's been 24 hours after the application of extra magnesium, yet I don't see any improvement in the yellowing leaves. So, I decided to post some pictures along with more bud porn. Do you think they need extra N? It's only happening to two of the three Purple Kush. I'm pretty diligent about flushing the soil every other watering, too. But when I do that, by the time when I apply nuted water, the soil is holding so much water that they may not be getting the enough nutrients? At the same time, some of the leaves look like they are having nute burn. I'm kind of confused. I'm going to SuperThrive them foliar-style just before the light turns on in the morning to see...

Thanks lama. As soon as you mentioned how healthy my plants are, I had a question on yellowing leaves... LOL! Good luck with your new grow!

Hey machnak,
I just glanced through the last few (dozen) pages of your last grow journal. You are a pro! Thanks for your advice! I'll get some fine dolomite lime powder tomorrow. It should act as the buffer for the pH, too. I have the coarse grit one, but it won't be fast-ascting enough. Maybe I should put that thing in my coffee grinder and see. You use some nitrogen throughout the flowering except for the last flush so the leaves are somewhat nice and green all the way, right?

Thanks for the tip. I did grind up the coarse dolomite lime to fine powder in the coffee grinder and it worked like a magic. I think I'll still use that grinder for coffee after cleaning it though. Extra minerals! I sprinkled two tbsp and watered them. I tested run-off pH and it was still 4.8 at the lowest pot. I used "pH UP" and brought it up to 5.5-ish. I'll do the same for the next watering so they don't get pH shock all at once. God, taking each pot to bath tub and watering/flushing/nuting take looooong time!

It's the last day of Week 6. The plants definitely look happier than yesterday. I think correcting the soil pH really worked. The buds are once again abundantly covered in pistols. I topped off the pots with diluted Chi Chang, molasses and SuperThrive and a dash of hot spring water from Wilbur. Today was the first day I've undoubtedly noticed the first tinge of purple on my Purple Kush. That's a good news. A bad news is that I can definitely smell this yummy skunky smell in the exhaust. I think the carbon filter is getting saturated already. Really? It's only been a month?? How long are those things supposed to last?? I't going to be 3 weeks till harvest. I guess I have to live with it for another few weeks....
