Week3 Flower Issue Diagnosis

Hey fellow growers. I have a minor issue forming and want to get it in check before I potentially have issues.
I noticed some of the lower big fan leaves turning yellow. Maybe 1-2 per plant. There are 3 different strains. Should this be of concern? As I am on Day 22 of flower. Everything seems healthy, no pests, and praying happily.

Currently I am:
Week 3 of Flower with 6plants in 3 gallon pots.

Just Top Dressed 3days ago with Dr.Earth (Bloom Girl)@ 2TBSP per Gallon/Worm Castings 1Cup/ Build-A-Flower (From BuildASoil) 1CUP

Waterings: I add Cal-Mag / Recharge/ King Crab/ Liquid Kelp/ Power SI (Silica)/Coconut Powder/ and Humic Acids.

PH my waterings to 6-6.5

Temps 73/66
Humidity 50/35

Photoperiods 12/12 light schedule.


Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for looking.

Thank you both for helping diagnose the issue, ill stop by my local hydro and pick up soluble K booster I can amend in.
You're right about the temps! My room/house stays in the 60s. :shock:
I'll pull out a small heater and set up my a/c infinity 76 controller and get my bedroom(also lungroom) temperature up and consistent to 70 and start with that. This way my grow space is warmer. Again, thank you both very much! :-)

That's alot of stuff added to your watering lol. It's one thing to have it in your soil breaking down, but to add cal mag, si, all the other stuff, asking for trouble. Just my opinion.

First you need bigger containers for organics. If 3 gallons were a must I'd use coco.
I doubt your K deficiency is due to lack, more likely locked out cuz of calmag additive. Cut that shit out!
You have done enough for now. Do not go to hydro shop :wall:Send money to a library or public school if you want to spend. Your top dress has sufficient K. Water has amazing healing properties. I'd do that with a little recharge.
Water heavy. Then water light with recharge next time. Watch. Adjust. Watch

Why do people advise chasing deficiencies in soil? Maybe small containers.

All that to say that I HAVE NO IDEA! Just high!!

Thank you for the input. What benefits could I have by using a larger container than 3 or 5 gallon pots? My current flowering space is a 4x4 area. I've grown in 3 & 5 gallon pots and haven't noticed a difference in yields or bud quality. Although my methods of growing are not true living soil I do lean on the organic side of it using organic amendments and aiming to add microbial/bacterial life to my soil to form symbiotic relationships with my roots and breakdown what is needed to feed. I only add silica and calmag to every watering in low dose.
I don't add all my above products to every watering but rather weekly.
I will do as you mentioned with watering and I appreciate your advice and input very much!
I will admit the top dress dosage I applied was probably excessive.
I look forward to the replies. Thank you.
