Yellow/brown and crispy lower leaves?

Growpotkinstarted grow question 5y ago

Some of the lower leaves on my Purple Punch Auto are turning yellow/brown and crispy (day57-58). The one pictured has just developed like this—I trimmed a fan leaf yesterday that was in bad shape. Any advice would be great!

You might be having a nitrogen deficiency, A cannabis nitrogen deficiency will cause the older, lower leaves on your plant to turn yellow, wilt away and eventually die. The plant typically appears pale or lime-colored. The yellow tips and curling edges can be from light or heat stress .

Burning Edges/Yellowing and Drooping?The yellowing has gotten worse and I'm noticing slightly burnt tips/edges and some droop. Could this be burn/deficiency or over/underwatering? A combination? Is there anything I can do to fix this early or is it just a matter of giving them some time and less nutrients? Thanks!

Underwatering Issue or something else?I haven’t been tracking exactly how much I’ve been watering. I usually water until run off. I’ve had to water daily because the coco loco has been drying out quickly. Is the yellowing seen in photos from 4/28 due to underwatering? I’ve been pHing between 6.2-6.4

Fine-Tuning Nitrogen Understanding (Deficiency or Toxicity) -- Suspected deficiency, so how do I adjust Fox Farm nutes? Increase ALL 3 nutes to 3/4 dose?Initial inter-vein yellowing, followed by whole leaf yellowing. Minor leaf stem reddening. Older growth. Normal for flower stage (I believe), but too early for normal and rapid discoloration (week 6). This makes me believe it's a nitrogen deficiency, amplified by SLIGHT overwater
