This plant is on day 61 this one isnt as far into flowering as my other one the seed bank said this strain would take longer but I dont think the leaves should be yellowing quite yet at this stage does this look normal or deficiency or nute burn based also quite a few of the lower fan leaves are drooping quite a bit and a few have fallen up and crumpled of ice been feeding ph'd water at about 6.2 and have been using bloom nutes.

Hey @Gary Laser Eyes , there has definitely been nute burn. Most of the damage is radiating from those leaf tips.

OK, so leaves yellowing are fine, but once they start going brown, they are necrotic so should be removed asap.
But while still yellowing, the plant is eating them so only pull when brown take over.

I would say yellowing leaves maybe a couple of possible things going on at moment there.

1 - feeding so heavy its caused damage which is clearly evident.

2 - yellowing leaves are consistent with: hunger, too little light, too much water or die off for nutrients

I suspect you may have overloaded their media with too much food and that is creating other issues if not sorted properly.

Imo Both of these can be rectified quickly by a partial flush: maybe a pots worth of low PH water (6.0) passed through and drained and then half hour later a feed at 50% strength you currently give.
Will also help to alleviate a lock out if the extra nutes are causing probs.
But, just my opinion..

I would ask what your regular PH is and also on what day are they due?

Try not to leave 'leaf' damage to go on so long next time before reaching out.
We've all f'k'd up, missing stuff we should see so we've all been there but some probs you can't afford to wait on.
Good luck.

Well I have the same issues in both plants but they are more serious in this one the plant not pictured is two weeks out and the one pictured is maybe 3 or 4 possibly more I thought it might he nute burn I definitely overfed them looking back. recently I started feeding them way less I should probably reduce it more my ph is normally at about 6.8
 
I removed all the dead leaves. I think I'll just feed them with low ph water for a week or 2 then reintroduce nutes here's some pictures they look naked haha the plant in thefirst pic looks like it might take 3 or 4 weeks different strain though the plant in the second pic doesent have it as bad because it was further along in flowering than the other plant so that's probably why the other plant took the overfeeding so bad maybe I should get different nutes going forward

Im not an advocate of removing leaves from a sick plant. Especially before I know what the problem is. You would need to list all of the grow details for us to understand the issue.. The soil/medium you are in, what you are feeding, how much and how often, the ph of the feed and of the soil ect.

They seem to be under fed. But that could be caused by a lock out, or an imbalance in ph. Now that you have removed the damaged leaves, you need to start checking all of the basics like ph, ppm of the feed ect. With fewer leaves, you have less room for error and the issue will now spread much faster if not found and addressed.

I only removed the ones that were very dry and crumbled I think I overfed which caused lockout that caused under feeding of a few nutrients also my ph is most likely not ideal I'll try lowering it its been at 6.8 probably a little bit lower would be better I'm using fox farms ocean forest I'm feeding this stuff called incredible bulk I'll post a pic of ratio well I've only been feeding water with nutes I haven't fed them plain water in quite some time I was feeding more than the recommended amount for a week or so now I'm down to less than half the amount it says on the package a tbsp I water them every time the soil is bone dry to about 1 and half to 2 inches down which is about every 2 or three days I I feed them about 30 fl oz of solution each time I feed I also use about a tbsp of hi brix mollasses to each gallon along with the other nutrients hope that helps.
