Bushing out the tent. My kind of grow. My patent answer is flush them with your preferred flushing agent. Then, see what happens and resume regular feeding. Skip cal-mag a couple times. First picture identified lack of light where your hand is. The plant right of your hand shows signs of calcium problems (could be too much). If those leaves are also blotchy then maybe the plant doesn't like cal-mag if using. In my current garden one plant started to yellow. Did everything I just said. Now the plant is bushy, healthy, green and tolerates the cal-mag. By the end of the growth stage the plant recovered. Overall, your canopy looks healthy! Last thought, try NPK industries RAW products. They sell individual pkgs of N, P, K. Sometimes this additional flush really helps. You can tune your mix to fit stage of grow. Looks like a kilo of manicured, cured bud. You'll harvest successfully!

Now THAT'S how you fill out a canopy! Great job!! You could probably teach a few of these "experts" a thing or two, lol. There is some type of nutritional issue, probably pH related, that you can see showing up in some of your plants. The paleness deep down is almost certainly from lack of light and air circulation. The "shadow zone" areas will do this in a really dense canopy. Watch the budsites that develop in areas like this, unless it's a strain that's pretty resistant this is a prime spot for mold/mildew to develop. I wouldn't be afraid to hit these plants with a little skirting and a light defoliation. Most people suck at defoling, leave the leaves up top alone, do a bottom-up approach and primarily target leaves attached at the base of developed branches- not the ones pushing from budsites.

In general your plants look still good to me. The right one (interveinal chlorosis) has a problem! Could be: iron or magnesium deficiency. Check pH of run off. Don't think it's nitrogen. Set up and data seems ok. Good luck, buddy!

Yes, the yellow on the left front plant is from shading and the right front plant seems to have a potassium deficiency. A "lack of CO2 hitting those leaves" is utter nonsense. As you know, there is far too much plant material in that space..........2 plants max next grow! I would lollipop the lower third of all the plants and concentrate on harvesting only the prime upper limbs.

unless leaves were suffocating it and shielding it, probably not from being shielded. My lower third is heavily shielded and it's all still lush. So, it's definitely not a universal reaction. Looks like 2 patterns of progression going on, too. Any paling that is progressing tip-in and bottom-up on plant is very likely a nitrogen deficiency. If this is isolated to a few of the lowest leaves, it could just be the plant shedding some leaves it doesn't need. If it progresses and gets worse, it's a nitrogen deficiency. Also looks like some interveinal chlorosis is developing -- this is different from paling tip-in and can be caused by numerous things, so you'll need to cross-reference more information to eliminate possibilities. i don't think it is a mg-deficiency because that should be accompanied with spots, too. So, numerous trace elements cause that. Make sure pH is relatively okay. IF soilless/hydro, make sure one of your products contains the trace elements and soil really shouldn't have this problem, unless poorly constituted. Molybdenum looks closest to what you have going on in first picture on right side of frame. Trace element issues are rare and more often caused by ph-caused or various nute-concentration-caused lockout. In this case it very well might be, becausae you'd usually have other symptoms coinciding under those contexts, but not always. leaf symptoms are indiscrete., they are not 1:1. you need to use more info to eliminate less likely options. Download a leaf symptom chart. download mulder's chart. these along with knowledge of your behaviours will make diagnosing easier and more accurate.

Could you update your diary with what you're feeding and have you changed the feeding lately or since you started flowering? Your diary says you're in Week 2 of flower, the latest I would do a major defoliation is Week 3 of flower. You still have time if you want to remove some and if I were you, I would definitely do it or you're going to have air flow, humidity, and possible mold issues. It's pretty thick in there and is going to get worse. I see you already have a fan at the bottom, that's good 👍

Either lack of light or lack of co2 hitting those particular leaves I wld check the run off water ph to see if you lr soil ph is off.
