Yellowing Leaves in flowering question

plants are about 2 weeks into flowering, and bottom leaves r yellowing like crazy. should have given them one last veg feed before flowering was coming but didnt want to inhibit flowering. wondering what i should do. flower nutes have 2.0 nitrogen but that seems like barely any doesnt seem to be helping. dont want to mess with flowering growth but theres alot of yellow leaves and im kinda worried. thanks for responses ahead of time.

Cannot tell for sure without pics but probably normal. If the newer growth and buds are looking good you probably have nothing bad going on.

It's not normal to lose your bottom leaves so early into flower. Your guess about feeding her good at the switch is right on, your plant is going through its stretch and using up lots of N to do this. Give her a boost of N to keep this in check and keep her healthy for flower. Oldest wives tale on the threads is to starve your plant in flower, you don't over do it but feed according to the needs of the plant throughout your grow. A straving plant will never reach its potential it has to have the complete package to grow and produce mass.

yes fan leaves and smaller leaves, i fed it yesturday with some flowering nutes fox farm tiger bloom, has a little bit of nitrogen not sure if enough but i guess in a few days ill give it another drink of veg nutes to hopefully stop all the yellowing. hopefully not too late. also new growth and buds do look good but im guessng could be better if the older leaves werent yellowing and falling off

In half strength or less grow nutes would be safe immediately. To clarify, losing leaves on a short vegg cycle in early flower is not normal. Losing quite a few regardless of nute regimen is entirely normal for plants with a long vegg period, particularly outdoor. These leaves are usually bottom or interior fans that are not getting enough light to carry their load. This type of leaf loss also improves air penetration into the interior of the plant. As usual a simple yes/no answer can be misleading.

Veg feed/nitrogen will not inhibit flowering in the least. Yeah, you want to give them flowering nutes, but they'll still need some nitrogen too.
