Bushing out. More LST to make sure all the bud sites are getting enough light...
0.5 tbsp per gal of 484
1 tbsp of elemental for the Cal/Mag
1 tbsp per gal of Organic Black Strap Molasses in water
Buds starting to fill out more. Faint smell - only if I gently squeeze the buds can I get a sense for the aroma on my fingers. Slow and steady as we go...

Flushing. Looking for that fade....
Update - I've determined that I've been giving all 4 plants in this run too much Cal/Mag and it's expressing itself in different ways with each plant. Too much Cal/Mag locks out P and K, among other micro nutrients. The Northern Lights has been pretty hardy and, frankly, hasn't shown many symptoms as of late. There is some nutrient burn present and it's getting worse in the following week (looks like a blend of both P and K deficiencies)...which is fine since I'm about to cut it down, so I basically dodged a bullet with this one.
Finally chopped her down at the end of this week. Gave her 24hrs of darkness. Heading out on vacation for a week so hopefully drying conditions stay stable...
Pretty easy grow as far as I'm concerned. Good yield for a 3gal pot, despite my screw-ups. A better grower could most assuredly get more out of her - i'll give her my best shot next time around.
On your last picture, you can see the leaves curled up and brown/crispy. They have been nutrient burned. Not a big deal. However, the leaves are yellowing up and turning light. Add some Tiger bloom (fox farms product) or something with a decent amount of Nitrogen. Adding cal-mag along with it wouldn't be a bad idea either. Happy growing

Great for going more in depth on the plant. I am by no means a professional in the horticulture or botanist realm, but I used to work in the marijuana industry in Colorado back in 2016/2017 and have been growing for quite some time. Like everyone else, I live and learn. With marijuana, you can get 10 different answers by 10 different people on the exact same question. It's more of an experimental process in the long run to see what works and what doesn't.
@Dabking, is this a nitrogen deficiency? I've been giving these plants a steady amount of 4-8-4 and cal-mag but wasn't necessarily seeing a specific deficiency or toxicity...except for the Malawi which seemed to be getting too much nitrogen
