I don't think it's any nutrient imbalance/deficiency ... much too sharply bounded for that. maybe the young leaves got a bit heated by the lights? In any case the rest of the leaf looks really healthy. So does the rest of the plant ... that downward shot was very informative and reassuring. I would not worry. cn

It's mainly the bottom leaves to be fair does that help pick anything out?

Thanks for all the replys btw!!
 
I assume you are talking about the brown tips on the leaves. Mine started doing that and the only answer I could come up with was slight nute burn... I was using a potting soil with Fertilizer in it. I have cut off all fertilizer except for occasional leaf misting and switched to potting soil with no nutes in it to see if thats the problem... I should know in a week or 3

Yh in pic 1 I am The rest I'm talking about the yellow of the leaves, quite a few at the bottom, could this be down to them getting no light at the bottom?

Problem: Nitrogen is important during the vegetative stage of your cannabis plants. As your plants start flowering, they will need lower amounts of nitrogen. A nitrogen deficiency will cause the older, lower leaves on your plant to start turning yellow and eventually die. It's relatively normal for your plant's leaves to start turning yellow towards the end of your flowering cycle as the plant becomes nitrogen deficient while it's creating its buds. However, if you notice your leaves turning yellow in the vegetative stage or in the beginning parts of the flowering stage, your plant may be experiencing a nitrogen deficiency which will need to be treated. The first picture is a plant in the vegetative stage which is experiencing the beginnings of a nitrogen deficiency. The second plant is showing signs of nitrogen deficiency late in flowering and is completely normal. The last picture is an infographic about nitrogen and your marijuana plant.

Sound like my problem. Maybe it's normal they only have 3 weeks left I think so I thought it was a bit early for them to start turning yellow for that but maybe that's why.

If they only have three weeks left, don't worry about N. The plant automatically/naturally draws the goodies it needs from the fan leaves which yellow and fall off. You have enough vigor in your greenery to see you to the smoky end. ;) cn

because she is taking up more P than anything at the end,and she will naturaly draw on the N from her big fan leaves,The big fan leaves curl up and die off no big deal,they served there purpose by this time.She wont need but a small amount of N during the last stage.
