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

Deficiency issue/problem with leaves
Any idea what problem I’m having with my plant/leaves? I’m guessing some type of deficiency because I’ve only fed once and it was a few weeks ago. (Check photos in most recent week). Any advice/ tips would be awesome, thanks!

Nitrogen deficiency? What can I do to fix it?
My gorilla girl xl aut is getting a nitrogen deficiency. I think? Im using megacrop. about a ½teaspoon every watering. Also a 1/16tsp of bud explosion and sweet candy. Should I add more? I have the whole line of fox farm nutrients. Anything from there that would help?

Lower leaves yellowing and wilting quickly
Soooo Just went to water this beautiful lady and as you can see from the pictures 2 days ago and she was healthy. So this evening i found that the lower large fan leaves and the smaller fan leaves on bud sites are drooping and yellowing. This looks like its nitrogen or lockout?

Wilting leaves and copper spots? Save Me!
These copper spots started appearing around 2021-01-28, and the wilting leaves started 2021-01-29. The newest additions to the environment were the much stronger MarsHydro 300w light. I've had to water more often because it dries out pretty quick with the rampant heat. what next?

Am I overwatering these seedlings? (Coco Coir) Please help, Thank you :)
These seedlings are about 3 weeks old in Coco coir. I PH the water to 5.8-6.2 everytime. I was watering every 1-2 days as the top soil dried out. Have I been overwatering? How much/often should I water them at this stage and should I wait for them to perk up before transplant?

Rootbound recovery time
3 Bruce Banner plants were rootbound for about a week and a half or that's when I started seeing symptoms. I transplanted then into bigger pots yesterday. Will they be okay and if so how long will it take then to get back on track?

Re:
Here's more pictures, and the top 3 inches of soil is dry to the touch before I water again usually. I must've messed up the past couple days or something. I did just add that Mars hydro ts600 though. Light stress?

General health
Advice please just on wether it's looking healthy. :) I've been too careful with watering and some leaves turned yellow. Feeding 1 litre every other day but maybe that's too little? Stopped with the Biobiz fish and switch to growbloom. Leaves at the top look droopy still?
