first timer, ran into a small problem! any advice?

[Lindsaylazuli]

hey y’all!
This is my first grow, I’ve made it to week 3 of flower! I’ve run into some bumps along the way but for the most part my plants are healthy! the only problem I’m seeing now are some yellowing leaves at the bottom of the plant shriveling slightly. Definitely the result of a mobile nutrient, but which one? I didn’t think it was a N deficiency because I’m 3 weeks in flower but I’m really not sure.
GROW INFO:
Im in a 2x2x4 tent, 2 plants (seeds unknown), fox farms ocean forest soil and nutes (fed twice a week according to the attached schedule 1/2 strength), 3 gallon breathable pots, 600 watt LED + 150 watt blurple light, 12/12 light schedule, temps at 85, humidity at 65. I’ve got an inline fan with a carbon filter that is strong enough to provide airflow for the whole tent. I only water with PHed water (6.0-6.5) and only when the pots feel light and dry.

I did LST in veg and now my two plants are huge, almost too big for the tent now but I think they’re done stretching. I also took off some leaves at the beginning of flowering for airflow and plan on doing so again this week, but not if they aren’t healthy! any ideas on what problem I’m dealing with? Thanks so much!

they look healthy to me, lower leaves do that when the plant is flowering (its a problem when yellowing starts from top of the plant) just bring temp (not necessary, but will benefit the plant) and humidity down ( to at least 45-50, preferably 40).
good luck

Could be the power stones giving them too much power.

Thank you! I actually just bought a dehumidifier and a small oscillating fan! so if they yellowing continues (it has) I shouldn’t be worried or try to supplement the plant with more nitrogen?

dont give it extra N, just follow the schedule (1/2 strenght is little low for plant that size), eventually those yellow leaves will fall out on their own. its a natural process, plant focuses on creating buds.

If you are getting yellow leaves this early on then I would bump up the feeding a little bit (just a little). I would also recommend either supercropping or pulling those colas down that are close to the lights with plant ties. They are too close and that can cause them to stress and grow stamens (AKA "nanners") out of the buds.

Yes thank you I actually started tying them down right after this picture was taken because one of the buds closest to the light got fried!! it’s my first time so it’s been trial and error for sure. Thank you so much!

I would recommend against removing more leaves. If you are getting yellowing you don't want to remove healthy leaves with nutrients in them. The plant will use the nutrients from the leaves to survive flowering.

Looks good to me. Nice stativa strain. Looks like they are getting pretty close to your light, I hope they finished stretching. If not, supercrop would be helpful.
