Leaves turning dark green.

image.jpg I'm fairly Experienced grower but it's been a while. so my leaves are turning darker green half way through flower, started with one plant then all 4 just went same green. Apart from that they seem healthy getting hesi nutes in canna pro soil some supplements bigbud etc. Some lower leaves are dropping off going bit yellow and limp but that is normal is it not ? They drink a lot but low humidity accounts for that which is desirable in flower I understand. Maybe I'm concerned for not much but I hear nitrogen problems cause dark green leaves and don't want that. Hoe someone has something for me.
My instinct is iv not been allowing much run off at all when feeding to keep humidity down as no drainage. Could it be without a good regular image.jpg wash through they are getting clogged up with nutes or something like that ? Well hope you can help. Thanks.
Not sure these pics do any justice really in showing the change in green.

Im not an experienced grower but I think you're right about too much Nitrogen (other symptom of too much Nitrogen is plant producing lots of sugar leaf). If it's my plant...I'll check my nute ppm and see where my Nitrogen level is. Also, I'll check my ph runoff.

you are fine, if you had an N issue, the leaves would curl under, cup and the stems would get brittle, keep on keep'en on brosive.

If anything if you haven't seen them Like this before , I would respectfully say that you are doing better this time then you ever have before

Thanks folks it helps to hear that. Yeah I'm inclined to think it's nothing major, tho anything that reduces yield is a problem eh. Was considering doing, if anything, just giving them a flush through with fresh ph'd water, maybe that could help them past this? Obviously want to maximise my yield, my last in 2014 returned over a pound (17+oz) blue cheese, pals regularly get similar results, give or take, so I'm hoping for the same again with this 'bulldog jack herer' strain, indica dominant 70/30 - which incidently Iv not heard of anyone doing before ?
Anyhow I'm still fairly happy with things so if this dark green colour goes i a few days il be buzzing. Thanks all.

Nitrogen is good for your plant throughout its flowering cycle, stopping your nitrogen in flower is asinine. It helps with the uptake of other nutrients and keeps your leaves healthy for photosynthesis.

Agree that you need Nitrogen through out but I've read some article and also postings by other growers that too much Nitrogen during flowering slows the growth of inflorescence in which the plant is concentrating more in vegetative growth (stem and leaves). Symptom of which is really dark green leaves.

Well I'm using good soil canna pro and the hesi range of nutes, so no likely overdosing on N. I have just started including the boost last feed (potass&phos) actually, a thought that is only occurring to me now as I write...? Well that's maybe got something to do with it as it's the only thing that has changed since. Well I'm ok that it's no major thing for now, probably the change in nutes eh.

an experienced grower would be nice enough top offer pics in the correct hue..?

many plants experience senescence during flower

can you explain why..?

good luck

It seems I maybe not, i understand the leaves do change colour anyway through flower, but things are well leaves and plants are looking healthy. always more to assimilate however eh
