Beginner grower here. Had some issues with underwatering and it's slowly recovering. Now am unsure if yellowing leaves are signs of underfeeding as it's still early in flower or due to the underwatering. Bottom leaves yellowing and dying off too. Using GHF Bio line as recommended

It could be a few things. Bottom leaves yellow and die off due to watering problems, underfeeding the plant, or from not getting enough light. Since you're in flower, it could be wanting more nutrients. So, bumping up the amount that you feed them by a little bit could help. Check and see if the leaves are getting enough light. If they are, check the pH of your water and run-off from the pot, just to be sure. After you know that pH isn't the problem, diagnose what deficiency/deficiencies might be showing in the leaves and address them.

Nutrient Deficiencies - If there is not enough nitrogen, the upper leaves may begin to absorb nitrogen from the lower leaves Yellowing leaves: Usually accompanied by new growth falling, yellow leaves are an indication of overwatering. However, yellow, curling lower leaves can also be an indication of underwatering. Check the soil for moisture to decide which it may be
