Possible deficiency?

She's about 42 days from seed. Buds are growing fast my only problem is the bottom leaves are yellowing fast. This pic is from a few days ago and they have gotten worse. I have general organics grow box and just gave them cal mag yesterday. Any thought on what this could be?

Dude could be so many things.... my first thought is they look thirsty. How big r your pots? do you check your water PH?

Talk about leaving out a lot of info. They were recovering from overwatering that's why they were hanging. They are better now. Water ph is always 6.8 exactly. Temps stay 74-78.5 at the canopy under a 1k watt hps in 3 gallon pots. (Root bound maybe?). Seems like only the fan leaves are yellowing the rest seem fine. They are also in FFOF soil I will post a current picture in 2 hours when I get there

Take the leaves off now so you can see the progression. Once the yellow they are useless. Get some nutes N/cal/mag stored in whats left of the fan leaves.

Fml. Do you think after pulling all the dead leaves off they will recover? I'm sure I already reduced my yield by effing it up but will they finish lol
Not pulling the yellowing leaves off would have been better. IMHumbleO I don't want to argue over defoliation, but either way you'll survive. And yea you'll be able to finish up just fine. Just don't try to over compensate for the deficiency. This will be your reasoning for adding cal/mag from here on out and you'll know what your looking at in the future. you just leveled up in weed growing! :bigjoint:

Yea. Deff bums me out I had to find out but it's my first grow so I knew I was going to encounter some problems. I pulled the leaves off hopefully they don't stunt to bad I was hoping to get 2 oz a piece off these

pulling all that dog shit and opening it up to let in more light and getting rid of leaves so damaged they are no longer helping but taking away energy that could be used for bud production to fix leaves damaged beyond repair-WILL increase your yield not decrease... that's not defoliation it's good gardening!!!!

pull them leaves if not the plant spends all that energy trying to repair... hell i get that sometimes too and i yank them bitches and all is well remember a bad leaf or stem needs to go otherwise all the energy gets put towards healing.. like these idiots who clip tips of leaves MORONS all that does is slow the process down.. bad foliage clip it or else you can suffer more issues and stunt growth.
