Looking for opinions regarding yellowing leaves

Pictures show Gorilla Glue Autos at 65 days since sprout. Grown outside, ordinary organic potting soil, only fertilized once with grow and twice with flower nutes. My concern, of course, is with the yellowing leaves, although I do understand that yellowing is expected at the tail end of flowing, but I think I have a few weeks to go.

Should I be doing anything now other than watering?

Soil has been very wet, and I only have watered a few times; rain seems to take care of the rest

Thanks,

Dave

This one simply lacking in nitrogen. Even in flower they will need some. Just give it some feed with a low N because your in flower and you should be fine. You mentioned flower nutes. What's the npk of the one you are using.

Keep in mind you're early in flower so it need nitrogen for those leaves. If you were closer to finish I would say that's fine do nothing.

I'm using 7-9-5 for grow and 3-12-6 for bloom. So, a little nitrogen, perhaps in the form some diluted miracle grow 3-1-2 perhaps? That's all I have...

The bloom one is good when's the last time you gave it a feeding? Looks might you might be due. Doesn't look serious. They always lack nitrogen in flower because we give it less(also your buds don't really need it). As long as it has some your ok

If you decide to feed them, a light water soluble fertilizer, at several intervals over a few days rather than a single large fertilization might be a good idea. If they've been too wet, your roots might not be happy.

The problem with lots of rain especially when using small containers is it can flush your plant when you didn't intend to.

The problem with small containers is it's not only easy for them to get too wet, they dry out quickly on a breezy sunny day. I'd check them twice a day and put them under cover during rain storms if you want your roots / plants to love you. I agree it looks like you have some time before they finish.

Thanks very much to all...definitely very helpful. I just fed each plant with a very dilute miracle grow solution (1 tsp/gallon) divided among them. Plan to do the same Wednesday. I didn't want more water because they are very wet, notwithstanding the sunny, warm, and windy weather. This is my second year growing after about a 52 year hiatus. :) Last year, I managed to eke out 3.5 dried and jarred ounces from 1 WW and 5 NL autos. Low yield, strength probably a 5-6, but it was fun! Only issue is trying to live with the constant "coffee" smell around the outside of my house...Hopefully, this year, I'll do a little better.

Foliar feeding with some silica wouldn't hurt either. It will give them a quick slight nitrogen boost, along with potassium. It would also discourage mold and bugs since it raises the ph on the surface of the leaf.

Just to close this off, I have fed twice with dilute MG, and the yellowing has stopped...thanks everyone for your suggestions and obvious solution!

Hard to believe that one plant can sap all nutes out of a 3 gallon pot of organic soil, but, as they say, "the proof's in the pudding".
