Well two are different plants so that not the same thing and the other one was just a more professional of the prior but. I’ll delete the other one.

Here you go @Austin127 . @Myfriendis410 we need a thread combine brother.
Don’t sweat it man… I’m not very familiar with autos but it seems like the natural progression of the plant in my opinion…
if the plant was slightly underfed throughout its life, from my experience will fade and ripen a bit quicker… could it be you were nervous to feed too heavy and stayed on the conservative side while feeding and now it’s catching up?

Good point. They do look like. cannibilize over deficiency. Feed a bit more. Just dont go nuts. Those leaves will never recover fully and no more coming. We concentrate on flower health right now to finish.

Yeah I suppose that’s possible.

Remember also these plants are annuals so they’re expecting to die off.

When plants are in flower and they start to get yellow leaves, it is due to the plant stripping nutrients out of old leaves and using it for the flowers. It is completely normal for these plants. You can fertilizer them more often to slow or stop that from happening, or just let it happen.
If the plant hasn’t got flowers and is producing new growth that is pale green or light yellow, that is normal and the leaves go darker as they age (about 1 week old).
If a plant isn’t flowering and old leaves start to go yellow, then the plant needs fertilizer, or it needs flushing to remove excess nutrients, followed by fertilizer. Normally it just needs a drink of fertilizer.
Do not flush plants unless they are due to be harvested or there is a problem with nutrients not being absorbed by the plants. Flushing a plant while it is flowering will stress the plant and remove the nutrients from the growing medium. this will cause yellow leaves within a few days of flushing.
If you are going to flush a plant to fix nutrient uptake issues, then you flush it and wait an hour, then fertilize it. Flushing will remove excess nutrients and help get the pH a little more normal. Then fertilizing with a soluble (liquid) fertilizer after flushing will replace the nutrients that got washed out and the plant will have food and cleaner soil.
The OP appears to be growing in coconut coir with perlite. This should be fertilized every time it is watered. You water so the liquid flows out the bottom. This helps to wash out excess or unused nutrients and replace them with clean water that has a balanced set of nutrients. This in turn prevents or significantly limits nutrient build up and nutrient lock-out.
Plants growing in coconut coir should be flushed 2-3 days before harvest.
