Hey guys!
I'm giving growing a second try, it's been about a year since my first and completely disastrous attempt. This time around it's gone a lot better, but I am running into problems again, and they are progressing fast.
I have 4 plants in my grow at the moment, all showing the same signs with slight variation.
I started the flowering process after 40 days of vegging under a 18/6 lightcycle.
On day 58 (or 18 days after flowering started) I noticed slight yellowing/spotting on my fan leaves, and the tips begun turning pale/yellow on all leaves.
(Day 58 pictures included in post below.)
I kept a close eye on them since and the problems have gotten gradually worse, i shot some "full-body" shots of each plant as to be able to compare later on.
The first set of these are from day 60 (or 20 days after flowering started).

Now, on day 68, and 28 days into flowering the problems are getting much worse
At this point I am very unsure of how to approach the issues, I would greatly appreciate any help or input..
