Looks like a possible nute lock caused by ph problem.

My honest answer would be if possible FLUSH using either a flushing additive or a weak nutrient solution, Making sure your ph is bang on 6.5

Then continue with water only for 3 feeds and then pick up feeding schedule again at half strength and go water water feed. After 2 lots of water water feed change to water feed water feed water feed at half strength.

im a new grower so i dont no to much yet but when my leaves start turning a little yellow i hold back on the nutes a little and it gets better but sometimes some leaves on mine just start dieing and i pull them off and the rest of the plant is fine, yours dont look to bad looks like only a few leaves are bad, good luck
 
my nutrians for bloom are botanicare pure blend pro its 1-4-5
i add 6 tsp per 5 gal bucket every third water
but nut lock out sounds good
i have 14 gallon buckets how much water do i flush with

It's normal for leaves to yellow out as the plant progresses thru flower.
I also use Pure Blend Pro & my plants are at 53 days flower and have begun yellowing out as well. With only about 2 weeks til chop, I won't give them anything

If you use a flushing additive then you only need to flush using the amount water relative to your pot size.

So for instance i use 11litre pots and when i flush using a flush additive i only use 11litres of water with flush additive in it.

If you are using a weak nutrient solution then i would recommend flushing 3 times your pot size. Which might be a mammoth task in 14gallon buckets.

You should ideally check your ph of whats going in to make sure you arent hitting them with too high or too low ph swings.

you are correct that leaves do turn yellow as they progress through flowering but this does not look like N deficiency due to the brown and burnt areas.

There are a few things which i think are crucial to growing.

1. The environment
2. The pH of your plant (through learning more about ph you can correct deficiencies using a higher or lower pH to allow the elements to be absorbed easier by the plant at different pH's)
3. The strength of your feeds.
4. The medium you choose to grow in.


These 4 things are the main things to get right. Get these spot on and you will grow just fine.

thanks
its in the sun all day---good
grown in 14 gall of fox farm ocean with a little peat moss and perlite---good
i try not to over do it on the nutrians same sed for over water --underwater
but bad 4door for not ph ing my water what do u guys think another month or so??
 
so J it looks like your leafs do dry/ wilt/ yellow at the end of flower
my last grow under cfl the top cola sugar leafs dried right the fuck out but could been from high box temps at the end dew to hot temps in the garage
 
Well I flushed the 14gallon pots this weekend look like it really helped
thank you all for the help
the leafs that turned yellow got a little greener and the half brown ones didn't get worse so that's good
so the girls started flowering at the beginning of aug
so that's 6 weeks now I hope I can harvest in 3 more weeks tops
any help is always good thanks agin guys for setting me straight

I have been called a Moron and an a$!hole because I made a statement just like you did, Late in the game big leaves turn yellow starting from tip inward. It wouldnt hurt to epsom salt it 1tsp to a gallon help with the lockout. Calsium tabs from your medicine cabinet would help balance high ph. Not cost effective though. Epsom salt has Mag. Iron and calcium in it

Your in week 5? I would look more at the lockout.
 
I am also having the same issue (which I do nto believe to be as much an issue as it may be the plant just progressing through its life cycle. We are almost ready to chop, so I would not give them much, if any, nutes. i have already done my first big flush (start to my final flush cycle) and am guessing I will be chopping in early october. I just figured it is better to flush them a little ahead of schedule, than behind. I posted some pics below of what my plant is looking like. The pics are from about a week ago, and some of the leaves have yellowed, starting from the bottom of the plant and have reached up to just above the middle. Otherwise my plant looks very healthy and should be ready to harvest in the near future (2-3 weeks)
