newbie, having the same problem with every single grow

Im not new on here but i am new to actually posting and I would like some advice on my plants, I've been growing a little over a year so im not an expert by any means and admittedly am ignorant in some areas but i cant figure out what keeps going on with my plants.

basicallly every time i put my plants into flower, like a substantial amount of leaves yellow, die and then fall off. the bud keeps developing and i have grown all the way through with them doing this at least 4 times now, but they always do it. I have gotten very good bud from my crops but i want it to be way better. all my friends are not having this issue and they dont know why i am. i know its normal to lose some leaves but its annoying that its consistently happening no matter what i do differently, and i feel it has to be causing some quality loss in my crop. I'm growing in soil, and i've tried 3-4 different kinds, I am using the full line of roots organic fertilizer oregonism. I always ph my water to make sure it is within acceptable range, and even when i didnt even ph or check my ph or anything and the water was over 7 it did the same thing. did the same thing if i water at different times, i keep getting THE SAME THING.

any help would be appreciated.
thanks

I'm not familiar with roots organic, but leaves usually fall off from a lack of Nitrogen. Try giving your girls more grow formula and less bloom formula.
 
i had thought that was a possibility but I was under the impression that you shouldnt give them much nitrogen during flowering? i have been giving them some but not much.

you answered it in the question when you said "the bud keeps developing" your plant is focused on bud development now not producing foilage.

My gf has same issue in soil, bottom line it is Nitrogen, just put in double the size pot during flowering and put some 3 to 4 month old horse crap, that is loaded with nitrogen.
 
I cannot get pics to upload, what am i doing wrong, i have the file size under 900kb, id like to put a couple pics up.

so will having the extra N not bother it during fowering?

Mg def. of early flower is common. try dosing with added Mg at start of flower.
That, or N, or Mg and N together are the common ones imo. OP, some trial&error is involved. For Mg, a pinch like 1/2 gram per liter) of Epsom is a quick fix. For N, I like to use a shot of ammonium nitrate, 1 gram in a gallon of water. Admittedly I happen to have that on hand. For a store-bought solution, the cal-mag (forget whose ... DynaGrow?) that is calcium plus magnesium nitrates as the actives is a good supplement to whatever feed regimen you're following. cn
