losing fan leaves during flowering?

My plants are 7.5 weeks into flowering and it seems like im losing alot of fan leaves as of lately. Im aware that the buds get nutriton thru the fan leaves and obviously they will yellow and die throughout the flowering process, but this process seems possibly excessive in my case. My question is will losing fan leaves have an adverse affect on bud production or am I looking to far into this matter? Here is a pic of my plants at 7 weeks flowering. Give me some input please.

Dnt worry boss im relaxed, I know im suppose to lose some leaves just seemed more excessive than other plants i have seen. As for harvesting, i think i still got 2-3 weeks left, but i could be wrong. Only about 40-50% red hairs.

if u havnt started ur flush use some nitrogen.. it will keep ur leafs heathier which does affect ur yield..i use nitrogen till i flush just less then veg..im 42days into flower and only one plant is yellowing cuz its a indica and a 45day flower..but all my other plants have no yellowing and ima start flushing in a week..and i got 5 plants under a 600 hps and i got about a hp per plant already

Thanks for the input bro. Yeah unfortuantely when i was changing lights to flower the plants, my power strip fell on the plant on the left and took out about 4 nodes thats why it grew so much different than the other. Both are snow white fem from nirvana. To be honest, i was mainly concerned about the left one, thats the one ive been losing most the leaves. I guess the fall on it wasa lot of stress too, that could explain it i guess. This is actually my first grow so im not to sure about the molasses but just following what some people have told me to.

I think it'd be yellowing from the bottom up if it were a lack of N.

T'ain't nuttin' but nature, IMO.

Look good man. Have you been trimming it at all, looks a little bare. Just asking cuz its my first grow and i'm two weeks into flowering and mine seem a lot more bushy. Just wondering if that will affect how the buds come in, cuz u can see yours pretty clearly.

either way good luck the rest of the way man.:eyesmoke:

I wouldnt worry bro my plants were bushy as hell before flowering but its amazing how they shoot up during flowering. If you search for some of my posts u can see how my plants looked. In my sig i got pics like 3 weeks into veg so u can compare if you want. Ive also heard of pruning ur plant if the fan leaves are in the way of the light reaching the bud sites but than again just a noob here so take what i say with a grain of salt.
