a month or so into flowering, yellowing and deadening of leaves starting at bottom and progressing up plant.

ph is between 5 and 6.... 3 gallon pot, its appx 5 feet tall, so perhaps rootbound? i recently went on vacation for 3 days, and while i was gone its grown into the hps light which i have recently adjusted to its maximum allowable height.

if anyone can shed some light on what has happened plz let me know, thx

Sounds like wet roots combined with bloom food that has little or no nitrogen in it...As things progress into the bloom the bigger bottom fan leaves are the first to yellow. If it's too weird add a tich of grow/nitrogen to the bloom food and help the plant stay greener longer.
Wet roots too will eventually cause the bottom fan leaves to yellow...any chance the root zone is staying wetter than you think? It needs to dry half way out, the root zone that is, before you water again. Wet roots drown, produce small buds and invite rot & mold. When in doubt dry it out. :weed:

man i just left for 3 days, how could they not possibly gotten dry? i figured it might be under watering because i only use a cup of water every day, and that is a big plant in a kinda tiny container so i figured it would dry out quickly. i have been adding a small amount of nitrogen rich nutes to my bloom mix but perhaps it wasnt enough?

anyways just in case ill hold on the watering and hope it improves.

btw i tried posting pictures but it gives me some bullshit about a security something or other, so fuck it
