Normal yellowing or something else?

I know it's normal for leaves to yellow during flowering, but not sure here. Here are a few pics, just want to make sure this is normal. 2-3 weeks ago I either had burn (most likely) or a PH issue, so some of the dead spots on the serrated edges are from that, don't think that is new, although aside from the yellowing there are brown spots forming inside some leaves. ANy cause for concern or is this as it should be?

Has this started at the bottom of the plant and worked its way up the plant.
Have you checked them for bugs ????.
 
Just the occasional whitefly, haven't seen anything else. I use FF Ocean Soil, was using Big Grow until the first week of flowering and switched to Tiger Bloom. It was around then that I got the burn/PH problem. I was going by the instructions, 2 teaspons per gallon every other day. The grow shop guy said with all the nutes in the soil that was too much. I flushed, began adjusting the PH when I just watered (it's very alkaline out of the tap) and now use Tiger Bloom twice a week at half strength (1 teaspoon per gallon).


BTW, the flowering began first few days of August, so we're about 5 weeks in at this point.

How is your soils PH.
You can use spring water that has a neutral PH of 7.0 to flush your plants with.
Are the spots on the leaves brown or red as they appear in the pics.
If they are brown i would be looking at a "RUSTING" funghi or spider mites.
 
looks like some burn and ph issues to me. lighten up on the nutes and check your run off, you want it to be around 6-6.5 i believe if you are using FF soil and nutes. also get yourself some big bloom, the big bloom and tiger bloom were designed to compliment each other and go together.

P.S. dont take advice from sir smoker. He was a former poster on here under the name ludacris and got banned for being a troll. he doesnt grow,just spreads bad advice and causes more problems

No doubt about Sir Smoker. I've been trying to let other members know who he is too. +rep to you my brother!:mrgreen:
 
first look upon my months of research that looks like nute burn.. that fox farm stuff is potent

i say nute burn because the patchy spots and if you do a quick search with people that are asking (and others have confirmed) if they have nute burn your leaves look exactly like theirs
 
So with the Ocean Forest, can I just do without nutes? As I mentioned above I go 2-3 days between half-strength feeding and water every day . Is the yellowing part normal then, and the brown spots burn?? Thje brown on the leaf edges is from several weeks ago. I'm just afraid my buds won't develop well if it doesnt get fed
 
if you are watering once a day then you should be able to give nutes again in 3-4 days. I like to back off and give straight phed water for a few days when i start overdoing it. After I feel they are looking better its back to business....
 
Someone mentioned Spider Mites...I have no idea, never having dealt with them. Anyone else see signs of them?

no you dont have mites..Or any visable signs at least. the guy that posted that is a jerk off that likes to talk out off his ass. with mites the early signs are lots of tiny white or yellow dot clusters on the tops of leaves. it usually starts at the base of the plant on smaller softer under growth. However dont get too excited I dont see any signs of them, once youve had them its really easy to spot quick...

Yeah, SIR SMOKER says that every time he sees a necrotic spot on a leaf. "It's either rust fungus or spider mites." LOL! Look under the leaves with a magnifying glass but I see no signs at all.:blsmoke:
