Could this be nutrient burn

Hey guys , so this is my first grow . This plant I've been growing outdoor since about April..it'd a cbd plant and it just started flowering ..however for the past 2 weeks now I've noticed alot of the leaves are all turning yellow . When I feed the plant I give it its nutrition as per the label in a 1 gallon container. I feed it 1 gallon every time I see the leaves drooping down like it wants water . But I never water until runoff .I ph the water . Just the 1 gallon as it needs it . It's in buffered cocoa, general hydroponics nutrition .

Should I try watering it with only ph'f water for a week and see what happens ? Any suggestions thanks

First some pictures would help. Next, if it’s in coco you should be watering to runoff and not letting it dry out. Also, it may be wanting bloom nutrients due to it beginning to flower. Start off with a few whole plant pictures and more info on medium, are they looking like they need water once a day or once every three days? What size pot are they in, etc. the more info you give the better anyone can help. If the plant is in the ground disregard this, I am assuming you said it’s in coco so must be in a pot.

Also..

Outdoor plants in pots with coco coir medium, or any other hydroponic setup should be covered at the least (preferably kept in a greenhouse), other wise any time it rains it will wash away the nutes/buffers, and can cause problems like wild PH swings\imbalance in the roots\lockouts, etc..

I had the same concern about the rain causing havoc, but in my experience, it's not an issue. I've grown hot peppers outdoors using coco in 5 gal buckets for a few years. Once the plant is a decent size, surprisingly little water actually makes it into the bucket and it never really changed the pH. The plants get fertigated a few times a day, so even if things got "diluted", it would be rectified with the next fertigation.

The biggest hassle growing outdoors in buckets was the wind toppling the plants.

5 gal coco, some hydroton on top to help slow evaporation.

It's apparently a 15g pot . It's a big plant . Never did this before. Now that's It's flowering for the past week and a half the leaves are yellowing. When it rains I bring the plant in always. The leaves sag at the end of every day from the heat . I water it a gallon of water with its nutrients and normally the plant perks back up in 30 mins or so and is fine ..but the past 2 weeks the leaves are dying . It's coca with perlite mix . Plants gets watered once a day

If she just started flowering and with that stretching she may want some more nitrogen/food in general also as buds start to show you should be getting her some bloom nutes
