If you can gently tug the leaf off, then removing it won't hurt. The plant will naturally shed them by herself though.

As for the problem, it looks like a nitrogen deficiency. This could be due to a PH problem or lack of the right nutrients. Many bloom fertilizers just don't have enough nitrogen in them. I like to supplement a little Nitrogen for the first few weeks of flower just to keep them green longer.

Sorry to say it, but you need to start over. I like to think of it as a sacrafice to the weed god. Be sure to research a little before you start over

Don,t start over learn something. You can read till you think your the Master cannabis scholar and still make stupid mistakes/over-do things because nothing beats actually learning from the plant itself, making mistakes, correcting them ect. you will learn to recognize signs, your plant will tell you when things aren't right. For instance that huge internode gap in your plant plus yellowing lower leaves was telling you that she was hungry, you starved her a bit during veg, so the normal yellowing process of nitrogen being used in older fan leaves 4 weeks in bloom is more pronounced..keep her going. A qtr strength foilar spray of some nutes during lights off/just before lights off may help a little, some might argue, just what I would do..just try not to spray the buds. Previous advice about pulling leaves is golden imo a leaf still has something to offer the plant until it can be removed with a gentle tug, the plant knows best.

Bro that should have been repotted 10 years a go. The yellowing ,severe moisture stress and multiple def are caused from the massive salt build up between feeds and this is mainly due to undersized pot.

First, you can never 'over learn' something, as your advice clearly proves.

Second, fan leaves yellowing is not a normal process, if you took an hour out and read the thread i linked, you could maybe start to understand why, if not, you got alot of learning still to do m8.

Also the internode gap is not necessarily nute shortage, it can more mean they were strechin for the light.

I would advise to learn as much as you possibly can, starting off with the thread that Uncle Ben posted regarding people having this exact problem, if you choose not to give it at least a look over, then it's your loss, the guy is a legend on this site, and his advice is better than any i have seen on these forum's.

Out of weed or something?
You've misread my post or rather I'm blazed and misplaced the comma, should have read " Dont start over, learn something. As in don't scrap the plants keep 'em going?

Fan leaves yellowing during flower as I stated has happened on all my grows, so I take it to be the norm, good for you if your plant fan leaves remain 100% green through to harvest..?:roll:

As for the internode stretch yes low light levels cause this also, as does low nutrient strength, personally never had light stretch problems though..apologies if my opinion offended you..

And yes have read Uncle bens thread its good stuff.

sorry if i was hasty, i aint outta weed mate, far from it, and yes, i try (and usually succeed barring the odd exeptional leaf)to keep all leaf green untill harvest, last grow was 16.5 ounce off 1 plant doing this,> https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/543220-og-kush-airpot-test-grow.html < pictures are a few replies down :) i now have 4 on the go going in to week 5 of flower, all still green, and am going without bloom foods this run, >>>https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/550283-og-kush-started-seed.html

so am sorry if i 'bite' but the amount of hours reading I've done, and i reckon it's good, as long as you reading the right stuff, ie UB's threads.

your opinion dident offend me, and am sorry if mine did you. :oops:

wow that is allot of yellow, but anywas there is a few things that could be causing it, root bind, but i doubt it or there is always the fact your giving it to much nutes and burning the poor thing, if your using some kind of fert for flowering you may be giving it to much and you should lay off.

It's a nitrogen deficiency. It would be defo root bound in a small pot like that as well, but its too far into flowering to transplant
