This plant has triggered its senescence, it’s the end of her cycle.

If you have some microscope/magnifier check the trichomes. Most of the trichomes should be milky/cloudy. 30-50% should have started to change color into amber/brown. if not, 70-90% of pistils should have darkened.

Yellowing Leaves
The leaves on one of my plants are really starting to yellow. To me, this looks similar to pictures of plants in late flower, rather than the examples of nutrient deficiencies. Have I read this correctly, or should I start worrying?

Why do I have rapidly spreading yellow on my leaves?
I have this yellow spreading on some of the larger leaves and it's moving super fast. Please help. I've done research and it says it's a deficiency, mostly likely cal/mag. I added that and it got worse, now I'm thinking nutrient lockout? The pH is fine. What do?!

My auto blueberry just started showing some yellowing mid-plant. It's first/second week of flower. Thoughts on what she needs? None of the others have it (Tangerine Dream & Northern Lights). Doesn't show signs of overwater. More deets below.

Another round of Name That Deficiency
5 weeks into flower and this plant seems to be the problem child but she’s also the one showing the most growth. PH is 6 on her, was originally 6.2 but was having a manganese deficiency so went down to 6.0. Gave 3/4 of recommended nutrients in last feeding. Not sure what to do.

Rapid yellowing of some leaves
I've noticed strong yellowing of some leaves overnight. It usually happens to the lower leaves, but in my case the whole plant is pretty flat, so there's no real distinction between lower and upper leaves. Is that just flowers taking up nutes from lower leaves or some deficiency?

Your opinion?
Today flushing the wedding cake i was thinking that the problem was an excess of nutrients, but instead water was quite clean, around 1100ppm at the first drain, after several flushes water is now on 600ppm. I also raised the lights.. I still do not understand 🤔

Is this overfeeding or another more complex problem
This is my first Automatic plant culture. I've made some novice mistakes, such as topping the plants. They start flowering about 2 weeks ago, but the leaves are turning yellow with some brown spots. I feed with an old Nutrient I had here. Can that be the problem?

Possible deficiency/humidity/pH problem
I've been struggling with same problem from beginning of grow - leaves having these dry yellow/white spots. The first week I used too high pH which later I replaced by rainwater - new leaves were healthy, but last night I left tent at 70% RH. Somehow it returned - still rainwater
