I'm going to buy a pH tester today, any additives I should consider to swell those buds?
our sponsors have a few ones. Sierra Natural Science and Remo nutrients '

Looks like you are around 6.8ish to me, that's pretty good. It doesn't look like solid 7 to me.

Okay, somore leaves are turning yellow! I've flushed the plant, and put more drainage holes. The pH test came back the same. Anything I can do? Or à m I just out of luck? Any suggestions are helpful.
please add a picture to see the yellowing...

It's effecting the upper, and mid section of the plant. It started slowly, now I can see it is getting worse... Does it look like nute burn?
ok only you know what you have done..so I can only lead you to choices.
1. Did you feed to much fertilizer or
2. too little..?
It looks like a deficiency not an overdose to me.

To be honest, I made a bit of a noobie mistake.. And I continued to feed veg nutes along with blooming nutes, after flowering started.. (Which I have stopped BTW!) So maybe, that's what caused this discoloration. But, I have been looking at pictures and reading article after article, and all signs point to a deficiency.
I feel like, the bigger 5gal plant should be farther along in bud development, then the 3gal plant. It's older, and gets more of the "hot" spot of my light source, but the smaller plant has bigger buds and even has started to show some orange hairs.
Which brings me back to the matter at hand... Should the yellowing of the big plant be a cut away? Should I harvest premature to prevent loss of THC? Or do I just let I go and continue to add nutrition and hope for the best?

well ONLY flower nutes in flower time.. and maybe just water for a week?
It takes a few days for over feeding to show, so that might be the case.
Leave it a day or 2 and see. MORE yellow..then maybe harvest. I will call in for more help

It looks a little like a copper issue maybe? What do you think?
Thank you fuzz for popping in 
It could be zinc or manganese too..
had a second vote for zinc in my journal by jimdogg
He suggested a flush, but you did that already. ( with A LOT of water right?)

Those micronutrient deficiencies all look so similar.
Yes they do look similar, that is why I called for help.
If you had enough run off water, no need. And flushing is for OVER fed ladies.
This might be a under fed problem...
Wait a few hours and see if you have more leaves turning yellow.
By the way.. how is your PH ? You don't have a PH locking out nutrients right? forgot to ask before..sry

Here are some better pictures, all the yellow leaves are in the same area (cluster) of the plant.. And seem to be getting worse by the hour. I think it's a overdose of nuts, and I am thinking about flushing once more, then if it get worse. Harvesting.. Unless you guys really think it's a deficiency, I just need to know what to add.
