Lower leaf problems

Temps are at about 78-82 max on top canopy leaf surface I’ve measure with one of the laser thermometer things.

For me that would be a fast watering. I only give a couple of cups at a time.

So do you get much runoff water coming out of the bottom???
If yes how soon does it appear?
Does it show up before you pour in the second half?

By comparison, in flower, at their thirstiest, i have to water usually on 3rd day, max 4th (growing in promix with average temps/humidity, and around 750 watts of hps and led lighting), and my 5 gallon bucket doesn't give runoff for 3.5L of water, neither do my 4 gallon buckets at 3L, so it's safe to see how a gallon going into a 7 gallon fabric pot, will not give runoff either.

could be the difference in my plant size vs pot size maybe idk... but my 5gallon pots drop run off with 1/2 gallon volume ....
I have a diy fast draining soil mix....so maybe my soill isn't holding as much of the water as yours since I mix it light and fluffy

if I put a gallon of water thru my 5 gallon pots every 3 or 4 days id have puddled water and spill over in the saucers

but maybe that's just me

I did a mix of ocean forest and happy frog no added perlite

Could it be a ph issue? I didn't see you mention anything about it.

Give it a VEG feed ... to keep the green . She’s hungry and she is pulling from the leaves.
Luckily it the older bottom but she is early in flower and NEEDS the nitro during its stretch, which probably happening now.

Then begin BLOOM feed from after that. You can scratch top soil with a small bit of guano to water in too.

I top dress with a mixture of ocean forest soil mixed with happy frog fruit and flower so kind of like a super soil top dress on the 2 that were showing the most problem to see if that’s the issue. I usually ph between 6.5-7.2. Let it sway between that but I added decent amount of lime to the top base soil so ph wise they should be good

I use fabric pots (5 and 7 gal) and I have to water about every other day as my RH is basically below 20% every day. My soil is organic but I top dress with organic nutes if I see a problem. Like they said above, water slow, let part of it soak in for 10-20 minutes before you add the last part. I have my pots sitting on drain pans and I get very little run off, a few drips here and there. I water about a gallon for 7 g pots and 3/4 gal for 5 g pots. Highest temps are 85F just before the lights go off. I do add a little cal mag occasionally.
Only thing I can think of is drainage issue? Do you lift the pots to see how heavy they are? Are you in a high humidity environment? Are you roots too cold? Just throwing these out there since other posters may have already solved it for you.
