Lower leaf discoloration Day 50 of Flower

I understand late flower its normal for the plant to cannibalize lower leaves.
I just wanna be sure I'm not under or over feeding.
I was feeding 1400ppm of Alaskan Fish Fertilzers every 3 to 4 days the last 5 weeks.
No runoff. Just 1 gallon per watering. It's enough to soak the 5 gal fabric pots.

Just a little concerned as I'm growing strains I haven't before. The Blue Dream is 8 to 10 week flowering. The Blueberry Cheese is supposed to be 7 to 8 weeks.

The 2 indicas I am growing got the same feeding and they are doing just great. They both only lost 2 or 3 of the original fan leaves.

The 2 taller ones are dropping a leaf a day from the bottom.

All sugar leaves and cola leaves still look good except for brown tips.

Here's some pics of the leaves that fell off and the whole plant.

Blueberry Cheese.

Man they aren't bad looking plants. Frosty big buds. I'd run some rain water/ph adjusted water through them. I always like runoff. Usually with a 2 gallon pot I'll pour through 1/2 to a gallon of plain water then once the soil is soaked I'll pour on about a half gallon of my nutrient solution, what ever that may be. Alaskan fish formula is "organic" but uses chlorine as a stabilizer so those salts can build up I'd think.

Yeh I took another look at my pics I took today when I cleaned the grow tent and drip pans. I didnt realize how frosty the Blue Dream was.
Its like almost white. I guess the Morbloom shit is really good. I didnt know if the Morbloom had salts or not. Some people online say it has muriate of potash in it and its a salt. The bottle says its fish ingredients. I know its really oily and smells fishy.

I squeezed the nugs on each one and they are rock hard and sticky like a mofo. It was like glue on my fingers.

Next grow I am using organic soil again where 7-8 weeks of veg just water and molasses once in awhile for the bacteria. Its what I did this grow.
Then at beginning of flower banana peel tea and molasses. Then Week 3-7 hit it with Morbloom and whatever Nitrogen fert I choose to use. I was using their emulsion but its some immediate and rest is slow-med release. I bought a gallon of fish hydrolysate so Ill probably use that instead.

I did a soil slurry test using 7.0 pH water and it came out to 6.82pH on the meter.
I scooped soil using a spoon from the root zone carefully.
Its within the 6-7pH range. I have been using about 6.5pH for all the waterings.
Online it says pH should be 6.8 during flowering. So it cant be a pH issue then.

Based on pics I have checked for deficiencies and toxicities it seems to match more along the lines of Sulfur deficiency.
I used Gypsum in the soil mix so there should be plenty of Sulfur. Unless the 6.8 soil pH is too high for Sulfur absorption.

I keep thinking NItrogen Deficiency because I have had some lower leaves turn yellow get brown wilty ends and fall off.
