Bottom leaves are yellowing quickly, every day another 5-8 yellow and drop. Is it too early or normal? 3rd week of flower after a very long veg period (13 weeks) outdoors.

25ml per L for feed is a lot. It might be getting locked out. I would be watering with a bit of runoff when feeding this strong to prevent buildup and lockout. It might also be a good idea to get a TDS pen to measure EC of your feeding solution and and monitor the EC of the runoff. Would not hurt to check its PH as well. This way you know its not to much and don't wait money on more nutrients when its not needed. The signs and symptom are pointing towards Nitrogen deficiency But I think its mimic that from a build up or wrong PH. Your week 14 looks to have nitrogen toxicity at 21ml/L total feed so leads me to believe its buildup in the medium. Good Luck!

It might be a case with deficiencies as you speculated but I don't think it's the case because you are giving them a lot of different stuff. I personally use the same brand of nutrients and the one I particularly don't like to use haphazardly is cal-mag xtra. This is because if you don't need that extra cal-mag, it will get stuck in the soil and make it harder for roots to absorb the rest of the nutrients. So it's not really a case with underfeeding, but more a case of roots unable to absorb nutrients. If it's not calmag it might also be the salts generated by using these nutrients over a prolonged period of time. The salts also block the roots from absorbing the necessary nutrients. Overall I wouldn't do anything drastic, try changing something from what I mentioned above and give it some time to see how your plant reacts because in general they look healthy. Good luck with the rest of your grow
