Yes, this looks normal, as the plant uses up all the food in the fan leaves they will begin to turn yellow in flower especially the older bigger fan leaves. It's due to the plant now getting less nitrogen and more phosphorus to help with flowering.

Yellow lower leavesHello,
This is my first grow and now I'm confronted with the first problem.
The lower leaves on my plants are turning bright and yellow. A few leaves have very small brown spots. Can someone help me and perhaps have an idea as to how I should proceed? Thanks.Leaves. Color - Yellow

Deficiency helpWhat deficiencies are these? I’ve flushed her, ph’ed her water and I’m giving her a good amount of nutrients - no nitrogen for the past two weeks I think.
Is this just an age thing? I don’t need her to look perfect before harvest, but I’m afraid it’s affecting the bud maturity.6y ago

help! my plant is turning pale. the green color is losing.the green color is losing. some leaves burn from the tip to the stem of the leaf. Excess fertilizers (because I fertilized the soil) or deficiencies due to few nutrients? I also thought that it can burn with nearby lights, but the ones that burn are far away5y ago

Early growth sick plants - photoperiodPurpling stem, yellowing leaves, droopy leaves - I’m thinking nitrogen deficiency, but I’m not sure if I should add more nutrients or not to my current solution or if I should flush completely. PPM is at 850, and the PH is 6.3. What are your thoughts?
Any GH nutrient schedules?Leaves. Curl down
