Why are my Flowering Fan leaves yellowing?

Heres the first 4 pictures. I'm in a 5gal airpot, with coco only using Lucas(H3ad) method for coco. She's my biggest plant, almost into week 3 since floweres started, about 5 weeks since 12/12. Should I flush and start nute regimen over, or just add more micro? Ph is fine, could be a salt buildup I guess, but no other plants are showing. Should I just add more N from the micro?

Maybe it's a slight mag def, since I'm into the 3rd week of flower I've heard that's a thing. I use epsom salts. Maybe I'll just up it a little.

i wouldnt worry too much about it dont go killing your plants trying to fix it. you can try just a flush but if it was my plants i would just procede like normal and harvest in 3 weeks or so. they usually start yellowing for me around week 6 or 7.

plants tend to use up nitrogen available in the leafs a few weeks or so before they are ready. by the time you harvest the sun leafs can be yellow all over the plant and the buds will be fine. you can always give it more nitrogen and keep the leaves green next time but ive heard too much reduces potency in the plant so do not over do it at the end.

Week 6-7 since 12/12. Because if so, that'll probably line up with my plants as well. Since they're almost into the 6th of 12/12. I guess I'll just carry on as is thrn. Thanks.

I'll gice it some more N. Thr last 2 weeks was gonna be just all florobloom. Then a week of flushing. So this week I was gonna start weening thr micro off and use just bloom. But I guess I'll hold that off for now with this plant. And contonue as planned with the others because they're doing fine. Start upping the Bloom and lowering thr micro for the other plants. Thanks man.

Yep, you could tweak your nutes a bit, but it's perfectly normal ( although some will disagree ). Your buds look good, don't ruin a good thing, last time I checked you don't smoke leaves anyway.

why the last 2 weeks do u stop feeding it any nutes?

The chemicals from your nutes are all over your plant and her flowers. Since you don't want your flowers to be a super harsh smoke and taste like chemical backwash you should feed her only water for the final two weeks. Make sure it's still water that's up to her standards and she'll come out smoking smooth and chemically clean.

That's normally soil for that period. Hydro and coco can be done inside a week. But 2 is for personal assurance. I know leaves yellow, I know this. Hut with the descrepensies on how people cover flowering weeks. Some start it from flowers, some start it from flip. So if from flip, the yellowing would make sense. If from 3 weeks since flower it would mean mine is deficient and needing it because it'd be happening on a non normal timeline. Hence my question. But thanks for all the responses. I'll keep this one as is, and the other start tweening the Micro, and up the bloom. Gettingready to go all bloom and no micro, before switching to water. Thanks guys!

Your plant looks good man. Your worrying to much.
You'll be done in 2-3 weeks, no problem. Your plant looks nice.
Your fan leaves are at the end of there lives. the plant doesn't need them any more. That's normal for them to Yellow and die.
Be careful not to over Fert. I see some really green leaves. To much (N) can mess with budding.

Good Luck on your grow.
