Yellow leaves/bug problem

Hi I have an outdoor plant in soil, I water every 2 days and give it nutrients.. I did see a candy striped leafhopper on it but I killed it and sprayed the plant with neem oil .. does anybody know why the leaves are turning yellow ? It looks like it’s dying to me

My 2 cents - Feeding & watering every 2 days might be a bit much. Cannabis needs to dry a bit before watering, not so dry the leaves start to wilt or that the pot is really light and the soil is so dry water takes a bit to begin to be absorbed.

Your plant looks good.

Those yellow and brown leaves aren't going to get better, so IMO get rid of them, they're of no good & seem a place for mold and rot to get started.

Have fun

Overall it looks good.
The plant is starting to flower so it need more nutrients.
With that size pot water it once ever 5 to 7 days. Give it a good watering so theres a decent bit of runnoff. Id say 2 to 2.5 gallons would do it. On the next watering give it a full dose of NPK and Calmag with that good watering then leave it alone for a week. If the leaves next week darken up and look good then dont feed it and just water. Read your plant not the back of the bottle or manufacturer feed schedule.

Also you would really benefit from bending those branches out to open up the center of the plant, it will increase yield drastically if you do that. Be careful not to bend too hard to break Bend a little ever day, and tie down so the dont go back.

Plants look fine to me, I grow outdoors and that yellowing is normal as the plants flower. Watering depends a lot on what the temps are where you are. My plants are in 10 gallon pots and temps in the 90's are pretty much the norm right now. In my case about every 2 days when I see the start of droop I water. I feed every other watering, Tiger Bloom and a little bit of Grow Big.

It could simply be that when the plants enter flowering you need to give them a boost with nitrogen for at least a week, as they need it for the stratch (for creating new tissue) and if they don't have any they look for it in the leaves. i see a small nitrogen deficiency and certainly being outdoors you have less control over the onset of flowering and as a result you may be confused about when to end fertilizer feeding for vegetative

Edit: for leafhoppers I recommend neem oil! be very quick as you don't have much time left for application as the plants seem to have just started flowering and if you wait too long you end up spraying on the flowers

sticky traps
Lots & lots of sticky traps, be proactive and start spraying with something like Safer's insecticidal soap.
Get some diatomaceous earth and be liberal with its application.
I see several grey/black dead leaves (not yellow/brown), get them out of there soonest & check to see if the black has touched bud or stem.

Good luck
