Internal conflict

That is some greasy bud bud. Too bad it's covered in red hairs. Joking. But seriously your shedding. So I did some investigating and looks like you are at day 71 ish. Pics are nice but can't tell on the trichs. They look mostly cloudy. How much longer you giving her? Did you run into any problems? Sorry for all the questions.
 
You have potent seed, my friend. I see your offspring all over the forum.
The trichs are mostly milky. I do see some going ginger. I've seen a number of your kids with pretty, colorful leaves. That's what I'm hoping for. The pictures do not show the purpling happening on the majors.
This has been an entirely problem free grow. More trichomes than I can remember from my own harvests. Some of that might have to be with my hands-off approach to this grow: Don't touch. It really is a wonderful plant in general.
There is, what looks like thrip damage on a couple leaves. It is not. There was a round winged mosquito looking bug caught on one of the stickier leaves. Found it on a trichome check. Seemed dead or stoned.
This plant needs a 7-gallon pot for full potential. My 5 gallon is so rootbound that I can't poke my finger in, and the water probe takes a good shove. It shows wet but the probes come out dry and takes its gallon of water without a drip of runoff.
Oh, wait. A curious thing. I have a handful of partially shiny leaves. Almost like snail trails, which they are not. It is not N-tox because I haven't given more than a flowering dose of N in weeks. It is not from leaves touching. I do not find it on the undersides. It is not splash. Can trichomes rub off on fan leaves?
 
You are doing coco and nutes so I was curious about the fade myself.Obviously you feed as long as they want it. Yes I've got snail trails from the trichs. That's when you know it's banging. Awesome plant grodacious.
 
Yeah those plants look great. Most cal mag has nitrogen in it, more than most people realize, could that be the reason for your question about deep green leaves?
 
The leaves have been getting darker as I have been giving less and stopped with the nutes. The remaining major fans are yellowing while the sugars are darkening, and the main cola fans are purpling.

Oh cool, I think it's just pulling all of its nitrogen from the fan leaves and other energy reserves in the roots and into the colas. Senescence! They look beautiful

Colors got me thinking back to grows where I got the purps. The only I can remember were the first plants I grew.
That first grow was with one of those Happy Frog or Ocean Forest soils under an LED. I was using the General Organics GOBox for nutes. Or, I thought I was. The GOB is supplements, not nutrients. Never checked pH.
What I thought was a good nutrient was micronutrients and NPK. I can't say I remember anything particular about the buds or much of anything else. But, man! Check out the purps I got! Not sure the strain.
Now, I have a badass light, coco, pH, and regular nutrients. The buds have improved but the colors have gone away.

Last nutes were three waterings ago. Maybe 10-12 days? 2 pH'd waterings since.
Can't tell you when I switched from veg to flower nutes.
 
Have you ever harvested without flushing nutrients in the last few waterings? If so, can you actually tell a different in the end product?
 
I at least flush once. A couple times I've harvested a few hours after flush. I couldn't tell a difference in my end product. No one else mentioned anything adverse. Maybe it has something to do with coco vs soil?
 
Yeah, I'm on the fence about final flushes. Lots of very different opinions. Mostly just bro-science, lol.
Not like u can really flush for very long in DWC either.
