Yeh mate the oldest leaves will usually die off once the buds start developing. Don't pull them off until they are yellow as the plant will utilise any energy before they die

Could this be light burn?
Could this be light burn? Only on top new leafs. Have not fed her any nutes yet. I did lower the light after I did LST by the height difference after bending her lower. Have raised the light back up again but just wanted to check what people thought. Thanks in advance

Deficiency discoloration?
I noticed some light de-coloration on the tips of one of the tops. Is it just because its new growth or do I have a deficiency? Thanks for the feed back.

Nitrogen toxicity mid-flower
So I overfed during veg and now my plant has nitrogen toxicity. Besides making leaves super dark, crunchy, and yellow it has also made my buds pistils curl and brown way too early. I’ve been flushing often with water. Is she a lost cause or should I ride it out for 4 more weeks?

We've had some really warm weather the past few days. This morning, just before the lights switched off, i saw it was 31.1 degrees C in the grow tent. Are the yellowing leaves a concern? The yellowest leaves are really brittle. I don't believe they're under-waterd.

Is this light burn?
Is this light burn? If not what is it? It's under a Phillips 13w household led 2700k bulb, it's not the only affected area but it's the most affected and the closest to the bulb. I plan to add more but don't want the issue to accelerate. Thanks in advance!

About plants ..
For those who have dealt with nitrogen deficiency, after correcting it, did the affected leaves regain their color, or did they stay the same while only overall plant health improved?
