Is this a deficiency?

Couple weeks into flower? The plant is cannibalizing itself from the bottom up. Couple things possibly... over watering or not enough nitrogen going into flower. A healthy dose of nitrogen through the stretch is usually desirable. In all reality, it's pretty normal to see this during flowering. Probably won't have much effect on the end product as long as your watering and feed is good. Not much to worry about, but next time try to keep them as green as possible through the stretch

Also Molybdenum deficient by the purpling and pink hue starting around the edges also forming from the centre of the leaf, tell tale sign is the yellowing aswell looks similar to nitrogen deficiency

Hello everyone had a quick question on what could be causing my leaves to yellow and have markings like this…

If in soil keep pH around 6.6, Coco 5.8, 6.0 think you locked out Molybdenum, check if your nutes has it, only needs trace amounts

Don’t need to do that if the plants hungry. Often causes more issue than not. I see no evidence of a pH problem just under feeding.

It’s interesting to note plants show slightly different symptoms for the same deficiency compared to veg/flower.

Try mixing grow/bloom 50/50 and see how she responds. Slowly increase after every 2 waterings and watch the plant. Takes a couple of days for it to stop cannibalising itself

In soil plants have trouble uptaking Molybdenum if pH is under 6.5 or not feeding enough Molybdenum
