Losing leaves in 2nd week of flower

Like the title says im losing a few fans every few days days. Mostly lower ones. Plant is on day 15 of flower. Using fox farm big bloom and tiger bloom. Its been about 3 weeks since any veg fert ( fish emulsion). Could the lack of N be the cause or is this normal? Technically im pulling them off but they are usually wilted so just a slight touch would knock them off. Also could it be lack of light due to the tops over shadowing?

They look good. I was wondering if you have any drainage holes in those styrofoam coolers? Not really for drainage but some oxygen to get in. I would get them up off the floor a couple inches and make sure there is some drain holes so air gets to the roots. Other than that they look pretty darn good so good work so far just keep them going

Hard to see/bad angles in my pics but the coolers have little feet picking it up a quarter inch or so and each one has about 6 quarter inch holes. Should i add more?

Yeah for that size pot add as many as you can without losing and soil out the bottom. The more air that can get into the soil the faster the roots will grow and the soil will dry back quicker. But if it’s working I wouldn’t worry about it all that much maybe add more before next run is all

Thank you for you advice. I purchased some ac ininity 5 gal fabric pots but they got here after flowering began thanks to the holidays. Anyway after these finsih im transitioning to a 2-3 week off perpetual harvest/ SOG. 4 sets of 4 plants in 1 gal fabric pots

yep, the lowers will yellow and/or wilt cuz they arent getting much direct light anymore. looks like plenty of larf can be pulled, everything below the 3rd nodes should go. the plant will continue to stretch and fill with buds getting direct light, not larfy stuff we dont want
