I have the same problem with mines, by any chance can be from the soil? too compressed or not enough breathing?

Leaves turning yellow from the bottom up
My older plants leaves are turning yellow from the bottom up. Its probably a nitrogen deficiency I think, I read that its common for plants in late flower but this one just shot its first pistils. What would be the smartest thing to do to combat this? Thx Its only on 4 leaves rn

From day 50 some leaves of the plant started to turn yellow. I had stopped nutrients due to an overfert problem. So, on day 50 I started with the nutrients again, but in lower doses. 2 week left to harvest. What should I do with this nitrogen deficiency? Should I worry?

What is causing PK deficiency signs on mid leaves? Too little Calcium causing lockout??
Hey everyone, in mid and late flowering with my autos, all experiencing similar problems and I’m inclined to believe it could be due to a lack of Calcium? Could a Ca deficient plant cause these symptoms which resemble a PK deficiency?? I’m 100% adding enough bloom
