you know what, i have accually heard that during the final days/ week of flowering the plant focuses all the nutrients to the buds ( even the nutrients in the leaves are used up causing the leaves to turn yellow/brown) this helps the buds in their finale days

if all the leaves fell off may as well cut it now or flush. not much gonna grow with no leaves. so tis a waste of time now.

A lot of leaves do fall off by the end of flowering, it's perfectly normal. The plant siphons off the Nitrogen from the leaves to fatten up the buds but you should be feeding your plants a 'lil Nitrogen throughout the flowering phase to keep as many leaves as possible.

thats what i was thinking. the only thing on the plant is a few leaves and bud i was also thinking to give them a week then flush then cut. but what about the smell, im looking for that kick you in the face smell? will that come if i cure it?

it may..but also if its dropped leaves means it wasnt cared for right and didnt get the essential foods to bring on the terpens and flavinoids to produce the smnells and essential oils in them.
id just run water through till the ppm was below 100 then let dry and cut them. or your payin for light for nothing. move onto the next ones.

what food you used dont matter. food is food for the most part. read the plant not the recipe. some need more. and the room conditions play a way more impostant roll in a good grow than foods do. if the room isnt good then nothing works as it should

light switch wont cause this much of an issue. mainly slow the growth for a few days till it got used to diff lights. no diff than me in veg under small lights then going to 2400 watts in bloom. actualy that shok or strtess is good right at the start of flowering. stress brings on more trichs for a deffence and then fill with cannabinoids. its a natural deffence for them

what was the peek ppm of the feeds. and what ph and what for a medium...you say soil i think but is it soil or soiless. soiless being a pro mix or sunsine mix.
