I've had many fan leaves go yellow/brown and drop off, mostly in the last week, and I'm in week 3. Its about 4' in height. I was told its normal and should expect leaves to drop during flowering.

do a run-off test to see whats going on in the soil, some strains will yellow at the 30 day mark i have a bubba cut that likes to turn yellow-orange over a few weeks

They were my auto critical mass i did and i found the canna nutes i was using didn't have enough N in them so i bought some canna mono nitrogen to put in the feed. you can feed them with some veg nutes to give them some N as they normally have more in them, i would get sorted asap as its shocking how quick they leaves fall off

Yes I will wait its only a couple days till watering probably go with half strength seabird guano the grow nutes i have been using are pretty low on n. Good old birdshit always worked for me outdoors.Should i still feed bloom nutes with the guano?

what nutes you using? i'd give them a good dose of just water and guano and keep adding some to each feed after that. until you see an improvement

General organics never got them up to full nute schedule recommended by company during veg. Was worried about roasting them started with my own super soil it's a little hot. Less is more i guess. Next grow i will crank em up more.Still very happy with go nutes the pk buds are looking awesome for 30 days since switch to 12/12 from 24/7

you fucked you ph is to high for how far in to flower you are, your soil sould finish @ ph of 7 right now it should be around 6.1 your locking out alot of nutrients, which are just as important as your base npk ratio
