The plants fan leaves are falling off, some are yellowing and shriveling up. Others are half drying out then falling off.
I think it might be because of not watering often enough(new job schedule&laziness)
These girls are in 7 gals of coco and perlite 70/30
temp is during day is 80-90 F
RH is like 45-58
starting their 8 weeks of flower tomorrow
Can I get these plants on the right track this late into flower?
Posting this for in-put,
Thank you

Overall the plant looks ok. Probably does need something. I dunno. Those buds are pretty small. Can't really tell, but I think you got several more weeks on it. I use the Maxibloom powder like 6-7 grams for a gallon. Plain water every now and then to flush out some of the residuals. Never have a problem unless, and I have. Over do it on the nutes. You might be ok bro, I mean even the larf on a good dank plant will get you fucked up. So. You will have product. And leaves usually die and fall off later on in flower. Need more info tho to tell what it may need. Strain, nutes etc. Looks ok though.

how important is nitrogen when it comes to bud development?
One more thing. In soil, Maxibloom powder using the Lucas formula recipe, it works all the way thru from veg to the end of flower. It is probably not scientifically optimum. But it does a really great job, it's fast, cheap and trouble free. Might check out the websight. Lucasformula.com I don't PH for soil and my tap water either. It works fine. Hydro or hempy bucket you would need to ph.

These plants are money maker (indica) and WWxBB (hybrid)
These are clones of my recent harvest. I finished them in 12 weeks or something like that.
So I got my fingers crossed to harvest by week 11
nutes im using is Fox farm TRIO with cal-mag
Using RO water
looking up close the buds look very frosty, I just have bad lighting & a horrible camera.
So these plants should fatten up very soon

I'll be honest if it were mine. I would pull off the leaves that look dead or about to be. It's what i do and doesn't seem to hurt anything. My theory is they won't come back so. It's just wasting space.

If your wwxbb is from female seeds, they should be done. I had a few strains of that, which would finish in 7 weeks :)

Some plants fade pretty quick compared to others I wouldn't worry to much and your cal mag has some N in it I believe cal mag is 2-0-0 or something like that but my plants start using up leafs and I don't pluck them off unless I give them a gentle pull and they come rite off ...if you want just give them a little boost of N or just add cal mag to a few of your normal water days .....but like people said above you'd probably be ok just doing what your doing ...my plants look pretty rough as far as yellowing goes by the time I'm ready to harvest but they have gorgeous buds on them just the way I like it ......next time don't cut your veg nutes with higher N levels off so soon just add bloom nutes to them and it should start fading later for you ......some people cut N at first sign of flower but I keep my veg nutes plus start my bloom nutes all together for the first few weeks of flower then slowly reduce my N/veg nutes and up my bloom nutes to full strength .......hope this makes sense and helps. Good luck
