I would tend to disagree, yellowing and falling leaves in week 7 of a SSH is not normal. Without pics this would only be a pure guess but, my guess is that the plant is in need of N. A healthy well fed plant will not lose its leaves in any number until late into flower if at all, usually just the smaller inner fan leaves of the plant. But without pics and more info about your grow it is only a guess but usually tends to be true with newer growers.
Good Luck
