Please help! 5th week into flower

Compare it to the phosphorous deficiency pictured in here: Cannabis Plant and Pest Problem Solver - Pictorial
Looks similar, however with Phos deficiency it looks like all the plant nutrition is sucked from parts of the leaf, whether it's the center or the edges. In the OP's pic, it is discoloration to a lighter green as it moves distal from leaf veins. Without knowing exactly what the pH is, it's hard to diagnose.
Maybe it's my eyes or my monitor, but looking really close at the OP's pictures, it looks exactly like the problem solver picture of phosphorous, but the tan/burned outer edge is very very faint on my screen. Maybe it's a shadow too, but that's what I'm seeing which made me think P was a possibility too.

Thanks... it made me rethink everything.
I recon that Ph may not be single and most crucial - since molasses has abundance of Fe and Mn, it's highly possible, that absorbance of P is obstructed. That's what science says as well...
A) flushing
B) half strength nutes, slowly building up to full. I'll avoid molasses, will switch to raw honey for feeding soil flora
C) foliar feed for next 5 days not to cut them off completely on P-K until next watering
D) till then, I'll have digital Ph meter, finally
Will brief you shortly...

Not sure if a foliar feed after week 2 of flowering is a good idea as it can cause bud rot. Try not to get the bud sites wet if possible.
Good plan regarding pH meter.

I'm aware of it - turned on 2nd vent to prevent possible mold. Hopefully, itll be ok
I wouldn't foliar feed at all. I would much rather force my plant to rely on nutes from the medium only, risking a little deficiency that I can fix by increasing nutes, then risk losing an entire plant, or entire grow..
Don't foliar feed. It isn't needed.

i know i shouldn't be doing it at this stage, exactly for this reason. I've given her a quick shot of what she needs, that's it. I really had to do something...- Thread starter

You were right - P deficiency!
2 of the worse affected leaves
I feel like if I neglected my children
I took paintbrush and foliar fed them, not wetting buds at all. Nervously waiting for soil to get dry so I can flush asap. I was never this mislead, could have prevented it from getting this much spread across whole plant.
I'd say I can expect lower gain from them, huh? Damn...

Maybe a slightly lower yield, but not too much IMO. At least not since you caught it pretty early.
Cool idea with the brush too bud, as long as its not getting on the buds, you *SHOULD* be ok, and not be risking budrot. Just keep a fan going in the grow to circulate air, and you should be ok.
