I still don't get it...

So I am now on my 3rd grow (2nd grow using the fox farm nutrient lineup) and I am continuing to get massive amounts of yellowing on all of the fan leaves... it seems like everytime I enter the last couple of weeks of flowering my plants go from green looking beauties to nasty yellow/brown dead vegetation. of course the buds stay in pristine condition but i feel like i continue to get nute burns as it goes towards the end...is this natural? or what could I be doing wrong? I use the feed chart that the man in the hydroponic store gave to me as i purchased the fox farm nutrients to a T, and the most recent grow I even eased in and out of the nutrient transitions from vegetation to flowering. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

the leaves will turn colors like yellow and die toward the end of flowering. its natural process that happens in the fall.

yeah pretty normal for leaves to die towards the end

yup ill agree on the its normal part

in my experience indoor grows experience it the worst

I use ff too. I'll just add that it also depends on the strain. I've got purps at 7wks fem that's still nice and green overall.
I also have strawberry cough at 5wks fem that is starting to yellow pretty bad, i gave her some grow big at 3 1/2wks
fem when i saw it starting. I think ffof soil feeds a plant for like a month per gallon?

sweet...thank you guys for the help and mental easing.

I am aware of this I usually don't start feeding veg. solution until 3 weeks in the of soil...

Your buds are sucking the life (literally) out the leaves, at this stage it's a good thing.

alright...thank you for the reassurance

This is 100% normal. Many times have friends come to me freaking out because they think their plant is suddenly dying. When I look, they are 1-2 weeks from harvest, a time when the plant starts to really look like crap everywhere that isn't producing bud. If you are toward the end of your flower, judge the plant by the flowers (buds), not by the fan leaves.

Actually the plants are dieing as they move through flower. The moment you switch to 12/12 indoors the plant has begun the process of dieing. That is why you can occasionaly get seeds very late into flower. It's trying to let it's genes live on.

yup that is what happened with my first harvest it had about 10-20 seeds outta 7 ounces which isn't horrid but i couldn't wrap my head around it since it was in my closet and no male plant was being grown anywhere but then i was told that sometimes a plant will hermie under stress and actually pollinate itself, therefore the seeds would be hermie seeds...very interesting process (the life of plants in general is intriguing) but especially marijuana plants...
