It looks like a nitrogen deficiency. What nutrients are your using?

The Yellow action looks like its reaching pretty high, to be Nitrogen deficiency. Nitrogen deficient yellowing should start at the very bottom, and work up. Looks to me like there are lower leaves showing too much green to be N.
The Big 3 yellow causing deficiency are Iron, Magnesium and Zinc all very similar in appearance, and the cure typically is a cocktail containing all 3 of those nutrients. Any "Micronutrient" formula should have them, also look for the word chelated. Do both a foliar spray and soil drench. A good feeding with Bloom formula should have all those Nutrients too.
My guess, based on the stage of flowering you are in.... the start of flower explosion occured, and the roots didnt have everything the plant needed... so the plant "cannibalized" those nutes from itself to put them where they were needed most.

I'd bet it needs a good dose of Nitogren

I leave the dead leaves until they fall off on their own. Unless they are in the way of healthy growth. If their not bothering you than Id leave them.
