Normal yellowing of some leaves?

[phillyguy]

I have some leaves yellowing on my plants. I passed it off as normal. I figured since I'm in flower it would start happening. Now it's moved up higher. Is it Nitrogen deficiency, over watering, or normal leaf progression? Something else maybe? Thank you for any help

Appears to be.

Cryptic. Lol. Do you mean normal progression?

Sorry sometimes I forget that people can't hear inside my head. It's probably best that way.

It appears to be normal leaf fade.

maybe I can I agreed immediately

Yep looks like normal fade out, couple randoms here and there is no issue, Grow on!

Damn, sorry about that dude. You poor bastard. There's always therapy.....

Looks normal but a pic showing entire plant is helpful in assessment.

Those yellows look totally normal. Some plants yellow from bottom upward and some do what your plant’s doing. I typically pluck upper yellow leaves to allow more light penetration to lower branches. Yellow leaves are done with photosynthesis so they’re not making food for the plant. Nice plant!!!

normal. too random for nitro problem
used and rejected
Nice plants

Shit that's nothing man.

Those look healthy. Pick the yellow ones off and it will thin up the bush and increase light and airflow.

Revisiting for a different plant. So many leaves have gone pale and the plant doesn't seem as happy as the rest. It has some sort of damage on the leaves. I would say thrips but I have gone through many leaves and seen two. While looking through my loupe I saw quite a few black spots that look like tar. I tried zooming with my phone but it's not strong enough.

I had a “tar” looking spot on one of my seedlings a while back! Read a bit on the web and think it might have been some type of fungus. I discarded the leaf and have not seen anything like that since, so im not that’s what it was. Good luck!

I always get some random black tar looking spots on the leaves as well. It's from the flies hanging out on them over night which you can see from the picture isn't harming the plant. Don't take my word that that is the problem with yours though. But it sounds a lot like what I see on mine.

If the little tar dots are tiny, it’s probably thrip poop.

I get mixed messages on leaf pulling. I’m all in on pulling yellow leaves but does pulling green leaves to thin out canopy for better airflow make any sense? I know green leaves are making food for the plant but does this matter much within a month of harvest? I’m eager to boost bud development over the next 4 weeks.

Straw poll to experts:
Would you remove the large leaves on this Bruce Banner plant in NE mass or leave them to yellow then remove?

Where you’re at I would vote for getting as much airflow as possible! Even if it meant yanking, a bunch of green shade leaves off! All of the bud and bud sites have their own little sets of leaves to help feed them! It’s my opinion That shades Are more of a liability than an asset from here on out! Looking good so far!

I never remove fan leaves

I think it all depends where you live. Where I live I've heard to keep them as bushy as possible until they start yellowing and then pick them off. The more leaves the more energy the bigger the buds. But we also get a ridiculous amount of sunlight and wind here. So airflow isn't an issue. Most regions of the country it is encouraged to defoliate them though.
