totally agree with kwilli, veg nutes through stretch if N is needed (usually heavy croppers are a challenge to keep green in stretch)

^yep. FF Grow Big from start to finish grows some sweet plants. Really do not need all that P Tiger Bloom and the solubles contain. Save them for sandy soils. In peat based mixes P dosent leach easily. And your better off bubbling your own EWC tea vs the Big Bloom. Its pretty watered down these days.

1st There is nothing natural about a plant yellowing during its grow cycle.
2nd Light Warrior contains no added fertilizer. Some humic acid, microbes and worm castings yes. And the goodies in the Ocean Forrest are probably long gone at this point.
3rd You cannot alter a mediums pH by just pouring tons of water through it.
4th Those plants look nitrogen deficient. If you are just using Tiger Bloom at this point that answers that.

I doubt there is a pH problem. Those plants just need more N.....

Not sure what you mean about this. Every grow I've done, some leaves will turn yellow before chop, chop. In my years of research and experience, it seems commonly accepted that leaves turn color during the last stages of flowering.

I've been at this game quite a few years now and a few leaves going yellow is somewhat normal for alot of growers. I personally like to keep them green until chop also. OP's plants are very yellow and agree totally with AS with lack of nitrogen.

Accepted yes, natural during any growth stage no. Or if the plant is tending a deficiency then its normal.

I've seen some monster sized plants on medical grows...w/yellowing leaves. Some growers swear by the "starvation method", but some strains inherently do it regardless.

C99 is definitely one that will trick growers new to this strain into thinking N def.

A leaf dropping here are there thats normal. A plant transporting Nitrogen from a source to maintain growth, thats a deficiency. Its a grey area I personally should not think exists. To easy to shrug it off as normal rather than learn how to avoid it.

That close to where you want it, I wouldn't worry.
If it got down to 10, and you were near Yuma, AZ. then I'd worry.
I don't even check mine anymore, as long as the room feels comfy to me, I am assuming it's OK for my plant too.
