I think this is just a characteristic of the pheno at this stage of life. Kinda like fall colours

This usually happens towards the last 2-3 weeks of flowering. Especially if you just began flushing your ladies this means they're starting to use any stored nutrients in the leaves causing them to turn red/yellow. Perfectly normal!

dying top fan leavesAll of my 3 plants are receiving the same treatment but one of them is showing signs of distress. Some of the top fan leaves are getting dry and brittle and dying. I thought perhaps the problem is I haven't been allowing enough run off?Week 5

Look At This Pigmentation!Lower fan leaf vs upper fan leaf in the canopy. The difference in pigmentation is wild! It almost looks like its bleeding.
