Some pics would help. Losing bottom leaves is typical growth.

Your plants look fine. Don’t worry about the lower leaves. It is normal for a plant to shed them as it matures.

I see signs of watering too often in the first set of pics, the orange striping on lower leaves tell that. It can come from PH swings, but not as likely in soil. Make sure they are very light before you water again. A full detail of your grow and conditions would help diagnose more accurately. Lower pics look better….

I grew some strawberry cough that did this it would drop 1-3 leaves randomly always old ones or ones that weren’t getting much light usual the plant would canabalize them and they would drop when they were yellow starting to brown it should be fine

Ok heres the breakdown.. i water my plants every 3 days .. & i only water when dry and most likely they are dry in 3 days .. i water until it comes out the bottom of my 3 gal fabric pots .. & my pots aren’t that big so when i start to see water coming from bottom .. i let them sit in the water and they slowly drinks it back up .. normally takes bout a hr .. they other 3 plants are still in veg so they haven’t been given flower nutrients yet just extended veg .. im typically at( 78° - 82° F … & 50° - 70 H … for veg ) & ( flower has been at 76° - 80° F & 45° - 60 H ) … i understand that some leaves should fall off the bottom but i feel like im losing more then normal

There it is! You never let them suck up runoff water. Also, it sounds as if you may be watering too fast, if they suck runoff back up, your media wasn’t saturated, could be running too much thru too fast or they could have channels in the soil where the water runs thru and has washed out channels that run the water through without absorbing it. You may want to check runoff numbers next time you water, that will tell if you have any PH issues or EC as well. Will give you insight in when to feed and how much also.

I read all the time where leaves yellow and fall off being normal, but it’s NOT . Healthy cannabis that is getting light all the way to bottom of canopy will stay green right up until finish, leaves yellow when something is wrong.

I actually just bought another sprayer that does water them faster then i have been since flower .. i have to put the nosel back on it and i thought it was ok for it to bottom feed .. but i most definitely will check my next run off ph .. but ive been doing this the whole growth to all 4 plants … i thought maybe it was nitrogen deficiency.. but im going by feeding schedule .. i water and switch the other 3 to flower tomorrow im going to check their ph run off

This is my 5th plant still in veg it suffered nutrient deficiency im guessing from letting it sit in the water after feeding 
.. but it just happened last feeding .. i dont know if i can save it but i tested ph in soil its reading between 3 & 4 for this 1 still kinda wet to like its not really absorbing water …
My other plants soil reads 5.8 , 6.0 ,6.9 ..
I will test the 1 i have in flower in a hr when lights come on .
Lost a tremendous amount of leaves on this 1
These all are fruity pebbles.. the 1 in flower is wedding cake

Is that with a probe or actual runoff tested with a meter?
