I've been flowering for about 4 weeks and most of the fan leaves have turned yellow. i know this is normal for flowering plants.
this is a black domina strain if it makes a differnace and i am using foxfarm big bloom(.01-N, .3-P, .7-k) with every watering(every 2-3 days)

question #1
should i leave the yellowing leave on the plant or trim them?
question #2
is there a point when there is too many leaves yellowing? should i up my nutes? I'm not sure what too much potassium does to a plant so i want to check before i do anything.

the buds look great but i'm just concerned, it's my first grow.
btw, i also have another plant going(A-bomb) from the mixed seeds i planted and the yellowing is way less compared to the domina plant. Both are on the same nute program.

...i can post pics if necessary, i'm just lazy(the stoner in me)...Thanks Everyone!

Id say let nature take its course. The leaves will fall off in time in the process requires it to. You could take them off though and i dont it would make much of a difference that isnt just cosmetic but whatever your call.

If the leaves fall off easily pull them off... but if you gently tug them and they stay... then 90% of the time.. I would suggest letting them stay..

The main reasons you want to remove dead leaves..
1. avoid rotting plant matter or mold or fungus
2. increase air flow
3. increase light penetration

stop thinking.... everything that you have left... well... that is YOU...

I give about a 50/50 grow/bloom until Im where you are now. 4 weeks. After that its just bloom. Im sure thats what happend. Thay are just lacking N. You may want to add some but I would only do it maybe once. And I dont know if it will help. When things turn yellow on me it takes weeks for them to get color back. Or you overwatered. Not likely if you have made it this far. But possible. Its late. Im just talking now. lol.

This is my first grow and I have kinda the same problem with yellowing. Ive been in veg for about 10 weeks and getting ready to switch to flowering. I use leds and cfls. The temp stays 72-78F with 33% and lower humidity. I have been using pure blend pro grow, pure blend pro bloom and liquid karma and instructed on the nutes. They seem to have been in tip top shape until the last 2 weeks. some leaves started looking burnt on the tip and yellowing really bad throughout the leaf. Can anyone help?

I would be flushing with straight water for a while. Yellow in veg isn't normal. I try to keep things simple in soil grow. Easy to get screwed up with too many nutes when your first starting out. I use superthrive and a little fish fert in veg and then use molasses and Purple Maxx in flower with a high quality potting soil(Black Gold). Been working well.
