In your situation i would guess your soil is too nutritive and they start to get a lil bit of a burn or lockout of primary nutrients.

Light burn and overwatering are most likely.

Pin the tail on the deficiency
Some yellowing that developed on Gelato Auto in the last coupla days....my guess is nitrogen deficiency since feeding has been light throughout growth but I'm still new to the game and would love to hear from some more seasoned growers

Leafs getting pale, spotted and dying in late flowering.
Fading very quickly, most of the big fan leaves are dying now. Day 66. Happened within a week. Is there something wrong? Been using only rqs pellets and the last 2 weeks some ekstra biobizz grow.

possible deficiency?
Please help. Noticed some yellow leaves, some misshaped, fallen off. Should I water to correct deficiency or wait for normal watering cycle? I watered 24hr ago but starved them for 4 days prior thinking i had fungus gnats. Temp dropped to 15c usually 25. Thanks

Age or Deficiency
I have noticed one of the girls fan leaves have all started turning yellow and drooping. It looks like they are turning from tip to stem and some of the smaller leaves have also started to turn. Is this due to age or a deficiency of some kind?
