Cola leaves/sugar trim turning yellow

I'm at 2.5 months since light switch and my ladies have another week left roughly. A lot of my fan leaves are/are turning yellow. What would cause them to yellow? A lot of fan leaves are yellow and have died which I know is natural, but I've never seen yellowing of sugar leaves?

buds are becoming pretty dense. I only water with RO water. I feed water, nutes, then molasses water. It's my first indoor grow so and I started with 12 babies, but I've done a good amount of research. I'm using 2 600w lights in 5gal buckets with soil. Thanks

Pictures do speak louder then words....But-
What strain?
What nutes?
Any supplements?
Could be age, but to much P&K maybe a factor.

If this is week eleven I wouldn't worry to much either, but you mentioned nutes and if you have one more week to go you should be flushing those plants. And does your nutes include CalMag ? Pictures are needed. Before posting use the search feature next time too. I'm not trying to be a dick but there is a great thread on deficiencies with pictures. Good luck

You're welcome

Yeah they have about 12 days left.... I am flushing as well I just started 4 days ago. I like to do 3 good flushes before I harvest. Don't know the strain, mother came from bagseed.. Trichs are getting close, no amber, mostly cloudy but still plent clear.

and for the record I did use the search function, I always use it first ... Lots of info on fan leaves yellowing which is natural, but not a ton of info on sugar trim turning yellow...

Still no pictures ? Boo. Did they start yellowing from the tips, center, entire leaf ? Where did they start to yellow first Top of the plant of bottom ? Did the yellowing start before you started flushing ? What kind of soil ? Amended? And if so, what ?

Yeah the search can return some poor results, but the gems are in there. I was just joking, so many questions on here are the same and can be answered without the need to ask it again.

okay you need to add grandma's molasses. 1 tablespon to 1 gallon of water that will give them carbs and more will help the buds get bigger and taste better. you dotn have much time now 2 feedings maybe 3 is all you can get in. wont hurt but will help. or jsut flush and forget i posted this.

They've been fed molasses every 3rd watering since they began flowering, I don't think that is the problem. They started yellowing very early into flowering and have ton of foliage. I'm beginning to think it was a problem in the soil prior to flowering. They were very healthy for a few weeks after we flipped the light. We transplanted them into terrible miracle grow soil because they needed transplanted bad and the hydroponics store was closed. They were originally in ffof
