have three strains growing outside. All have started flower. As soon as I moved them out they had some yellowing leaves. I assumed wind burn. However it seems to be getting worse. The one on the right has always yellowed the most. I feed them nutes once a week.

My question is, whats going on? Should I remove the yellow leaves or just let them drop off. I don't want to remove to many leaves incase it will affect the buds. Any suggestion would be helpful.

I'm really new to growing but I ( still on 1st grow) think its a ph problem I couldn't really see but there outside and the closer they get to those trees the worse there getting. Or the tree roots have absorbed the nutes it needed. Look into those suggestions i don't knoe how fox them but that might help.

Yellowing is usually a sign of N deficiency, but not always. The plants will start to cannibalize and take N from the leaves. Feeding once a week seems a little light to me. I feed twice a week and my plants are no where near the size of yours. They’re probably hungry. Does your feed contain any N?

Thanks for the response. I use advanced Nutrients ph perfect and add a little chicken shit fertilizer every now and then. Guess there is not much nitrogen in either. I will try adding some nitrogen and see if that helps.

I was more worried about something like blight since my cucumbers basically just got destroyed from blight.

Still working on my plant symptom diagnosing abilities, so all this is with a grain of salt, but yeah, I agree with @Dontjudgeme. Being the lower leaves, late in the season, etc. it looks like they're cannibalizing them.

Here's a closer look at the leaves, they turn yellow then brown and shrivel up until they fall off.
That usually happens further down the plant where light doesn’t penetrate, nothing out of the ordinary. I would highly suggest upping your feeding. The plants demand to eat increases the bigger and later into flower it gets. There’s a common misconception that plants don’t need or require N during flower which isn’t necessarily true. They don’t need as much as they do during Veg, but it’s definitely needed. I’m not particularly fond of PH perfect unless it’s in a hydro grow, but it still works in soil. The P and K ratios are a bit weak in my opinion. Look into increasing your P and K, this is what the plants desires in flower.

Just take off the yellow leaves and keep doing what you are doing for now. The rest of the plants look perfectly healthy. :bigjoint:

I'm brutal and use a black snake / crow bar to aerate soil on outer perimeter of branch line, I grow fruit trees all benefit from it, not sure if compaction could be issue with yours tho
