First set of /lower/ leaves are getting sick I presume, and surely gonna fall off. Definitely not looking ok to me, maybe they just age out?!? If anyone have a idea what's causing thins - please leave a comment. Thanks in advance!

Hi John, This is an easy one :) Nitrogen :) A quick way to know a nitrogen defieancy is the lower leaves starting to fade to yellow if left it will work its way up the plant and get worse. Nitrogen is a mobile nutrient within the plant its needed all the way through the grow no matter which stage your in. Yes she does not need alot in the flowering stage but she still needs a good amount also the browning could be a cal mag issue that shes not getting enough of that either which is very common for autos. let me explain what i have found with auto genetics. at the start they are very tricky tto feed they dont like alot then when you reach the first few weeks of flower they explode and require alot more nutrients this is where i think you are my friend. Just up her feed abit and this should clear up in a few days to a week. I would say on a 2nd guess it could be a ph imbalance but i doubt it as its only the lower leaves that are effected at the moment if it was the ph they all would be :) best of luck anyway brother

Its hard to tell if its a nutrient problem. What kind of soil are you using? Are you adding nutrients? I can see you have a little bit of nutrient burn( tips of leaves are brown ). On day 22/23 that one leaf looks like it has a rough time. And it looks like this is the same leaf. So this could be the result of abrasion damage and nothing to worry about. The leaves look very green which is a sign of to much nitrogen. But I don't see the "Claw"( tips bend down) so it could be just the camera/lighting. She is looking good to me. Lower leaves that are not receiving light will age off but this is usually only looking color first. Its the brown spots I can see your concerned about. Now after inspecting closer Yes I believe its just abrasion damage and a lack of light to the lower canopy, Nothing to be worried about. From your picture labeld "Day29 /look closely on first set of leaves/" the bottom leaf tip that is yellow is normal because it is not receiving light. and the left leaf is in the same location that got beaten up on day 22/23. Happy Growing
