I was always told that yellowing is perfectly normal during the bloom stage but it seems to be getting out of control and id like to just make her look and feel better....any ideas?

Lights: 400 Watt MH
temp: 70-80
ph: 5.0-5.5
Medium: Soil
nuts: 40 ml of CNS17 bloom in a 4L container (fed every other watering)

that is normal that far into flower. it is sucking every thing out of the leaf to the bud.

that is what i thought but i did not know it would go to that extreme....i had to clip 2 fully yellow fan leaves and now there are 2 more...
ph needs to be brought up to 6.5 that will help her get the proper nutes.
well im using soil so in my opinion i believe that raises the ph about 1.....growth is not stunted just make me sad to see her hurting

I would do as the others have already stated, adjust your PH , and yellowing of the lower leaves is normal, as the plant nears it's end it will change colors (some will) some get a lot of pretty purple / bronze / yellow colors. DO NOT ADD NUTES TO TRY TO CORRECT THIS. You said that your light was MH , I would get a HPS lamp for the flowering phase. What strain is your plant ?

do not clip the yellow leaves off ! The plant uses all that the fan leaves can produce , and i think it is best to just let the leaf wither and dry up , if you can pull the fan leaf off easily then it is ready to go. remember it's not about how you think the plant looks, it's about the plant doing it's thing, right now it is in the process of dieing , leaf it alone. it will die , but it will leave you a nice little gift.

ya u made it seem ok....fall = yellow dieing leaves....thanks for all the help.....the buds look nice so ill let it go.. but as far as ph i was having issues with doing 6-6.5 in soil casue it ended up getting to base and not enough acid throwing it to like 7.5-8

best advice ever, dont worry about how your plant looks just what it's doing to produce your present at this stage in life, giving you its all.

Fellas, I have this problem too! Im seven weeks in ,55 days, and Im running out of fan leaves and bud growth is not quite what it should be. Lower leaves and branches/ bud sites are green but stunted. If I lose all my fan leaves, am I in trouble?

Did you give it enough nutes, maybe not,
but it is too late probably
to do anything now. If you are 55 days into flowering (12/12) then you are getting close to harvest, at that stage I would not try to push a lot of nutes into the plant.
