Got a few dead/yellow leaves at the bottom. Is this normal at 8 weeks?

answered grow question 5y ago
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.

CalMag or PK issue?
What is she telling me? Before I was thinking of a CalMag issue (upper leafs have "burned" tips and get yellowish). So I added it to the reservoir. Is it CalMag or maybe a PK issue, that resolves in a CalMag issue? See my diary for more details.

Are they still looking overwatered?
How are my babies looking? Watering now every 24h (0,5l) and I raised the pots so they no longer stand in the runoff (doh!). The calmag also arrived today so hopefully that will help my Green Gelato with the yellowing 🙌

Yellow parameter leaves
My lady is turning yellow around the edges of the lower leaves others are dark green. I just did a top dressing less than a week ago I used feather meal kelp meal alfalfa meal and some bat quano. Looking at charts it seems to be a nitrogen deficiency. I know feather meal is slow

New to hydro, first attempt. Does this look healthy? On second week of bloom transition. The lower original leafs have some yellow on them and brown dots. But otherwise any input would be greatly appreciated.

Brown spots on lower leaves - ph fluctuations?
I have discovered some brown spots on the lower leaves. I suspect it might be down to ph fluctuations - first time growing DWC so probably my bad! Does anyone agree? I should also add - I did a nutrient change a few days ago and for the first time added calmag & silicon

These spots appeared on a few sheets this week. The leaves even twist. It's been a week since I added extra flower stimulators from Advanced nutrients. And I use Jungle Indabox nutrients. The problem did not affect the other plants. Can anyone help me?

1 plant going bright green
Not sure why the one plant is going bright green, would this be nutrient lockout or am I just under feeding the plant? I've been giving all 4 the same amount so I'm not sure as to why only the one is doing this

Is this nutrient burn? Had what looked like a lack of nitrogen early on, lowest leaves were healthy then quickly went yellow and worked up. Now have fed nutes at 0.7EC (tap water left for 24hrs to 0.28EC) so fed under 0.5. Bio-grow 0.5ml/l bio-heaven 1ml calmag 0.25. Thanks
