I just fed them 2 days ago and I don't do any testing I got no pH pen just soil tester and this the bloom feed I gave it half the dose though
It looks like the leaves down low turned yellow first; likely a lack of nitrogen.
ETA: If you are only feeding bloom nutes in week 4, definitely a lack of nitrogen.
I use Fox Farm nutes (for now, that's another topic), if I follow their soil feed schedule and cut the grow big in week 5, I get nitrogen deficiency almost immediately. However, their hydro feed schedule has grow big feeding all the way to the end. I now feed at least a little grow big all the way to the end, much better results (but still not satisfied, trying GH Flora Nova next).

That's what I'm guessing what's a easy fix
It could be a ph issue locking out nutrients. Sometimes, I have issues that persist all the way thru. Of course, you know the yellow leaves will not turn green again, even if you correct the issue. Look for new yellow leaves from the bottom up.
What is your soil/medium?

It's cheap potting mixed with Scott's osmocote and terrazills

They will green up again, given the correcting feed.
I've seen it several times, over the years...
Not true actually.

Time release ferts should be avoided. Especially if you are planning on bottle feeding

Yep. An underfed leaf can rebound. A burn leaf cannot. My starving clones usually go through a down swing before the roots start pulling nutrients, and I see the leaves darken back all of the time.

I got liquid food it's in the thread
I know in veg the leaf can green up again but I thought after 4 weeks into flower it would not. IDK.

You’ve got a high P and K bloom food with minimal N.
you want something quick with higher N than P and K.
