water leaves are turning yellow and the green ones have light brown tip, any advice?

i have a 2 month old fem. i started budding about 2 and a half weeks ago. she is doing great on bud development, but the water leaves are turning yellow I have been trimming from the bottom up taking the yellow leaves. the next set up has not turned yellow but the tips of the leaf have turned light brown. I am probably going to transplant her to a 5 gal bucket because the roots are pretty close to the top of the soil. is this a reason for the decay or do u think its overwatering, or does ph needs to be altered? also if anyone has advise on trimming during budding cycle that would also be greatly appriciated.

could you have given it too many nutes? tip browning is usually indicative of nutrient burn.

as far as the leave yellowing, that could be one of many things. honestly, if you think you overwatered, put a fan on it, and let it dry out. if it doesn't pick back up in a few days, flush the soil and you should be fine.

during flower, i tend to clip browning leave tips due to light nutrient burn, and occasionally the dying leaf. i highly recommend against taking cuttings during flower, though.
