Or just old leaves that need pulling?

The little white speckles kind of resemble the first signs of spider mite damage. Inspect closely under the leaves with speckles to check for mites or other bugs.
What nutrients are you feeding, feed/water sched, pH, ppm/ec? What kind of temps, humidity are you getting where you're at?
By this time in the season on my outdoor, quite a few of the lower, old fan leaves turn yellow, and my plants are well fed for sure. I think it is the plant reusing nutrients from the older leaves in new growth/bud development. Every day, I give a very light pull on the yellowing leaves. If they don't let go, I check them again the next day. If they do let go, then I toss them in the compost.
Good luck! Peace

Beastie blooms once a week tiger bloom every other watering. Watering when dry. Evey other day 2 gallon. It's been hot humid and rainy. I'll double check for mites thank you. Now it's cooling off. I'm in New England.

I don't use those products. I use GH MaxiGro and MaxiBloom as base on my outdoor at 1tsp/gal. In veg I use only Maxigro, and I blend them through the transition to flower. By the last 3 or 4 weeks of flower I use only Bloom. I mix the feed in 5gal buckets. At the point where your flowers are at now I mix 3 or 4 tsp Bloom with 1 or 2 tsp Gro.
It looks like Tiger Bloom is low N and Beastie Blooms is a no N bloom booster. It's quite likely that the yellowing in the lower leaves is N def. I've had bad luck frying my plants with bloom boosters (KoolBloom) in the past, so I don't use them.
My plants usually fade/yellow/turn fall colors as the season goes on, but it looks a little too early for that on your plant IMHO.

I could add some grow big. I'm honestly just struggling through this and have been pretty lucky so far. It's really one plant. I was using grow big during veg. Hahaha as long as I learn my lessons and have something to show I'll be pleased.

If you use the veg nutes, just use like 3/4 strength bloom with 1/4 strength veg mixed in. Don't mix the nutes together directly undiluted. First, mix one into the water, then mix the other into the same water.
It looks like you're well on your way to getting something smokable. With outdoor, i'd be more concerned for bug pests, mildew, and mold at this point.
Good luck! Peace

At this point I wouldn't bother. Looks good.

What's the strain?

I'd go through and start thinning for better airflow and build something to help protect the plants from the rains. Amazing things happen when you don't have a 1000 little sucker branches. Good luck!
