Near harvest - extreme overnight yellowing

SpawnOfVader said:

So My plants always have leaves yellow right before harvest which I know is normal but it’s generally a gradual process starting at the bottom. This mamajama was almost all green yesterday morning when I checked- some yellowing lead tips....

today- see below.

If I were to guess I’d say nitrogen deficiency but being I’m already at 8 full weeks and planning to harvest in the next 7-10 days I’m not sure it’s worth fertilizing again?

I stopped top dressing/feeding around a week ago.

This is when molasses can often help. Feed the beneficial microbes. It’s like sugar and bread yeast. They’re responsible for the transport of nutrients across the roots. Especially phosphorus now.

Just old fashioned blackstrap molasses? I’ve used that for feeding my compost teas but never in direct applications to the soil.
