Fading Fan Leaves Week 4

So I'm on week 4 of flower. This happens to me every time around this point. After the stretch the lower fan leaves start fading and this process usually continues throughout the rest of flower.

I'm growing in one gallon fabric pots in fox farm Happy frog soil, modified with dolomite lime. My last feeding was 3 or 4 days ago at about 1400 PPM. I'm using general hydroponics 3 part flora series.

pH seems to be okay. Run off ppms is around 2,400.

How can I keep my plants healthy throughout the grow? What am I doing wrong?

On a related note, when do you clip fading fan leaves? I've been leaving leaving them on because I feel like if I take them off then the leaves above them will just start fading.

Curious to know what other people's thoughts are as far as trimming fading leaves.

Next time use a five gallon way easier to maintain and your using the fabric pots, I guarantee most of what watering goes right out the pots sides before it gets to where needs to be could be root bound also

Is it possible that this is from when I was feeding less closer to 400 ppm. I heard sometimes the problems that appear today can be from a few weeks before hand.

the leaves in the pic are not looking happy, they have that over watered droop to them. This leads me to believe that the medium is always saturated. Let the medium get light before watering, ie lift the pots before and after you water them. General rule of thumb only water you medium 5%-10% of the volume of soil. You don't need to water until runoff either, you are not growing in coco lol
