Is yellowing of leaves normal on day 28 of flower? (see pics) First Grow

Soil: Fox Farm Ocean Forest/ 3 gallon pots
1000 Watt Air cooled HPS light is 10" away from tallest plant
79F 56% humidity
Strain: Phantom Cookies
Tent (96x48x80)

I have tried to keep this grow as simple as possible because I don't know much about growing. The only nutrient I am using is flora nova bloom 1 teaspoon per gallon, no training techniques. This is my first grow and I have tried researching but have read mixed opinions on the health of leaves during flower. Some say that it is normal for leaves to yellow and fall off while others say that plants should not be yellowing until the end of flower. Can someone let me know if my plants are healthy or do I need to add something. Also i didn't realize how big the plants would get and I know that it is overcrowded. Should I remove some fan leaves to create more room and light penetration? And lastly I am loosing lots of leaves everyday that are dying is this okay?

yes, they are a bit too yellow at this point.

only remove fan leaves that are dead/useless.

some leaf death is normal, too much is not good.

no need to use bloom right away in flower. start off with grow/veg nutes and transition to bloom/flower nutes as you get deeper into flower. that will keep them green and healthy until later on in the cycle.

you'll get better with more experience. good job for your first grow!

Thanks uncle buck I will definitely do that next grow. I didn't even buy veg nutes because I thought that fox farm had enough in it.

Plants are looking very well. Keep it up.

Give a good shot of nutes with veg and bloom both plus micros!!!!!!!!!!!
