Yellowing leaves on autoflower dwarf

indianqueensstarted grow question 6y ago

I'm 12 weeks of vegetative growth deep with an auto-flowering dwarf strain. My plant is nearly 1.5m tall, showing no sign of flowering but I'm starting to get a number of yellow leaves lower down the plant. What is causing this? Should I leave or remove them?

This is normal. If you lightly pull on them they will probably come off. Normal part of growth cycle using sugars from bottom leaves to feed rest of plant. No worries.

1st time grower - nute burn? Lockout? Potassium def? Light burn? HELP PLEASE Experiencing some deficiencies/light burn/heat stress. Says SSH likes hot/moist climate. Plants are planted in FFOF Soil, fed them 15oz of nutes yesterday. Using advanced nutrient systems, see above. Light is a SF1000 LED meant for a 2x2 tent. Would that burn them hanging at 20”?

Yellow centre veins fan leaves Yellowing of the inner vein of fan leaves only. Also sporadic yellowing and blemishes of whole fan leaves but only some, others fine nice and green. All bud leaves and buds don't appear affected. Is it just that she's nearing the end of her life cycle? Or over water/over nute?

Slight yellowing of fan leaves Yellowing of leaves on my second grow. Only 1 of 3 plants doing it. Same medium, same light, same watering etc. Only used a general 1/1/1 feed so far and water. Read about nutrient deficiency, over/under watering etc but I'm baffled. No adverse effects otherwise
