First Grow - yellowing too early?

Hi Guys,

This is my first grow and I didn't want to jinx it so I haven't posted anything yet.

Anyways, it seems to be going really well except for one thing...I'm in the middle of my 5th week and the leaves are starting to turn yellow. If you can see from the picture of the giant nug, the bottom fan leaves are starting to yellow a little bit.

In the zoomed-out pic, you can see how a lot of the lower growth is yellowing. Is this a problem?

Here's the info. on my grow:

Planted mid-Nov, 2015
Fllipped Jan. 8th.(5.5 weeks as of pics)
Strains from left to right:
-THC Bomb (giant nug pic)
-707 Truthband (no yellowing)
-Pineapple Express (showed yellowing earliest, most yellow)
-Amherst Sour Diesel (no yellowing)

Soil Grow with FFOF - added fish meal 2 weeks before flip as we had a little Nitrogen deficiency and it went away quickly.
Fox Farm trio nutes and some cal/mag liquid.
5 gallon smart pots
Water every 3 days, feed nutes once a week. PH'd and PPM'd appropriately and even transitioned veg and bloom over 4 weeks.

2-2x4 gorilla grow tents and great ventilation and airflow.
600W HID's - HPS in now.

Healthy plants otherwise and the tops are INSANE and getting noticeably fatter every day.

I'm also attaching a pic of the Bomb and Sour D clones I took a month ago that we are training pretty hard. Planning on just growing a single plant per tent next round. We seem to be doing something right.

Ohhhhh, I forgot to mention that these pics were taken right before watering - and that plant in the middle between the tents is just a Death Star bagseed we decided to toss because it's just not behaving - the leaves were twisting so we think it's just bad genetics.

We are also supplementing with UVB lights and have been easing them in slowly. 26w Repti-sun CFL's. Not sure if they're doing anything or not.

Looks good to me! MAYBE a little extra Nitrogen next time when you transition, but it boils down to strain, size, climate etc and nitrogen toxicity comes easily...

Plenty of foliage left to keep the girls energized until they finish.
I wouldn't sweat it at all.

Keep up the good work.

Stay hazed,
Jake
