Botton leaves are turning yellow then fading away

Some bottom leaves of my three plants are turning yellow, it looks to me that they don't have enough nitrogen. I have tried to double biobizz nutriment the last two times I have watered them but it doens't seems to make any difference. What can cause this issue ? Thank you

needs more nitrogen or senescence.. if it continues to progress upward, you need more nitrogen. if it is isolated to shielded, lower leaves, then you can ignore it. This looks more like a nitrogen deficiency, because i see paling leaves creeping upward on the plant. pH could be causing it, but in those cases you usually see more than 1 symptom displayed. This looks like N-def 95%. check you pH. Make sure it is somewhere 5.8-6.8 range. "They" often say a plantn does not need N in bloom, but "they" are wrong. Every cell produced needs N as a building block even in bloom. i've never needed to drop N more than 5-10% from vege to bloom and i track ppm mixed of every molecules every feed. I'm faily familiar with safe ranges that work for all of them, relative to my hard water, of which npk is not augmented by hard water like Ca/Mg/S is, so the safe zones of npk are translateble to other gardens. So, maybe take the fertilizer component with the most N with least impact on other things and bump it 5-10%, then wait and see how that goes. Don't have a major reaction... slow and steady wins the race.

My vote goes to Creepy_Steve. Either too little N, or simply senescence, that is, the gradual deterioration of functional characteristics in living organisms.

Your ph level is out of range.

Hi Buddy. PH level, flash with big amount clear ph balanced water and then slightly add nutrients and keep flushing pot each other times. It’s could help..💚

Hi mate 👨‍🌾🏻, i was looking your diary and its all good. It looks like the leaves are completing their life cicle, this is call plant senescence and is the process of aging in plants. Plants have age-related developmental aging. Chlorophyll degradation during leaf senescence reveals the carotenoids, such as anthocyanin and xanthophylls, which are the cause of leaf yellow color. Hope this helps you, happy growing 🙌👨‍🌾🏻

Hey Growmie, Checked out your diary and everything seems to be in check, can't say about ph because it's not listed. It honestly looks like the leaves are getting enough light down in the bottom of the plant, which happens as the plant gets bigger and covers them up.
