You are only six weeks in flower.
By the look of your pistils ,I would not be looking to harvest yet,still some weeks to go…Need to let em fatten up.
I would not be flushing now.
Can you show picture of whole plant?

i no they need another good 2 1/2 - 3 weeks i just noticing the leaves starting to show deficiencies and not sure exactly what it is and if i should even worry about it because i always flush em out for 2 weeks at the end and they will be done by week 9 1/2 or week 10 and i just realized I ment their on day 46 so their at about week 7 now. im not asking about when to harvest, i got that down perfect. im just wondering if i should be trying to correct this or let it run and flush out
i use organic nutes not liquid my last top dress was 3 weeks ago im feeling like i should feed em some liquid nutes for a week to help prolong them another week befor they really start flushing but I’m not sure if their flushing and asking for everything or if its one particular deficiency

Correcting issues in organic grows can be a challenge with not having run off numbers to reference. Top dressing organic amendments is a timing thing and take time to become available to the roots for absorption. Adding liquid nutes on top of the dry top dressing amendments could cause toxicity once those become available. I would recommend straight water at 6.5 to run off and check the PH and PPMs so you’ll know what’s in the root zone. If you were close to harvest I would recommend riding it out but weeks 6-9 the buds are putting on weight and are hungry and need nutrients manly an increase in potassium and phosphorus. What liquid nutrients do you have

So their only in 3 gallon pot and i top dressed 3 weeks ago so i feel like their just starting to flush in general and not just 1 dificiency and at week 6 its to late to give another top dress especially with it showing signs of deficiencies now so i feel like my best bet is to feed em with my general hydroponics liquid nutes for another week and then let them flush from week 7 1/2 to week 9 ill take some more pics was just hoping someone could spot a centin deficiency or if it is just flushing and needs everything

If you do that, I’d go lower dosage then recommended. Reason being is that the plant is used to organic nutes, if you suddenly “shock” them with hotter nutes, you may do more harm than good. I would go with what @OGIncognito said and flush. Measure your ppm and get a number to reference. Plants do yellow like that in late flower, but yours are a bit premature to start that.

When i use the liquid nutes feeding half dose was always perfect and i have the bluelabs soil ec meter so i can check the ppm of the soil easy i just dont use it to check when i top dress cuz its not accurate with orgiancs but the orgaincs should be runing out or at least settled in even to read since its been 3 weeks

You have a decision to make Grow Bro on staying with organic amendments or synthetic nutrients. I’m not an organic grower and I can’t offer any advice on that. I go to my run off numbers when I start noticing something’s off. Can you post several more pics

Do you have any worm castings or seabird or bat guano? Do you have a ph and tds meter?

Yea it’s the 4 blueberry plants that are doing it the rest are fine ns yea I always use worm casting when I top tress their all at day 51 over 7 weeks in they always finish around week 9 to 10 and I try to flush em for 2 weeks before but looks like the blueberry all looking deficit earlier then I’d would have liked

Can you get your hands on amy quano locally? You can brew up a worm castings/guano tea for 24 hours and the nutrients are immediatey available to the plant. You need micro nutes from the castings and phosphorus… maybe even a little manganese but the castings will cover that.
Btw, if you are growing organic, there is no need to flush. Im strictly organic and i dont flush and ill feed all the way to harvest

Yea i know but i flush not just to get the nutes out but for the colors in the buds to really come out and i reuse all my soil so i like to know that all the nutes in the soil have been eaten up so i know im startin woth a fresh slate when i regenerate my soil with nutes and i just hit them with some general hydroponics liquid nutes at half does for a week to carry them over… didnt even think to make a brew to fix it ima try that next time. Its a tuff balance cuz you want to get nutes in the soil quick without putting to much in the soil and shocking them. It does looks like what was going on is slowing down not completely gone so i can tell the liquid nutes are starting to do their thing. If i ever have a problem this is the one i run into, my last top dress not lasting as long as it should and tryna get an extra week of nutes in it last minute.
this will have no effect on bud color Growmie
Yea it does all the green fades away and the leaves turn yellow, red, purple. You never see what a good flushed plant looks like vs 1 still all green from nutes

Bro science my friend, do a little research on geno and phenotypes. Think of it as one large generation of kids, cousins ect…unless their twins rarely will they have the same looks or hair color . Leaves and buds are 2 different things

So, here is the reason your leaves change colors when flushing. Deficiencies. Flushing rids the medium of the nutes, therefore changing the colors. Same reason they change colors in cooler temps.
The cooler temps cause the plant nutrient uptake to slow down and/or cease, allowing the different colors to come out.
