3wks in flower, losing some leaves

It's been about 18 days since i flipped to 12/12 ... every couple days or so a few leaves on my plants go yellow and fall off. is this normal at this stage?

I'm growing in soil and I was giving a bit of Nitrogen (Grow Big) in the first two and half weeks, now i'm only giving some P and K (Big Bloom/Tiger Bloom) at 1 tsp per gallon with a tablespoon of molasses,

i'm wondering if I cut N too soon and if I'm underfeeding or if a few bottom leaves turning yellow and going dead is normal at this stage of flowering (3 weeks) ? thanks

here they are white widows:

please turn hps off when taking photos, and all i can really see from your original pics is that your light(s) are too close to the plants (evident from canoeing of the leaves)

I always start losing lower fan leaves a couple/three weeks into flower. I'm growing a very bushy strain (blueberry). What I think happens is that after the stretch, those bottom leaves are too far from the light and the plant decides to drop them because they are now dead weight.

yea i noticed that too about a week ago, and raised the light, i guess the 'canoe' effect on the leaves doesn't go away?

also anyone think i am being too conservative with 1 tsp of Tiger Bloom, 1 tablespoon of Big Bloom + molasses? I'm always scared I might burn my girls but I want to know if some people can get away with more in soil.

You arent using any Nitrogen?? Well you still need a little N but don't over feed it. Less is more honestly.

I cut all that lower stuff off my plants soon after moving them to the flower room. If you have a thick canopy like I do, that stuff won't get any light anyway.

It's normal around 2-3 weeks and gradually every weeks until harvest im almost at 8 weeks of flower and every fan leaf on the main stalk is gone already.

Cut off the dead and dying leaves they won't help your plant... Add some light nute's that are higher in Nitrogen as blaze said but don't over do it...

Don't over feed your plants,if the leaves start yellow at the tip and then moves to the rest of the leaf then it's N deficiency,if the whole leaf yellows/pale and then browns the next day then its not getting enough light and would also be normal.

CUT NOTHING OFF..... LET THE PLANT DROP THEM ITSELF...... Stress stress stress, when the plant has finished with its usage it will drop leafs itself.
