i flipped my girls on 6/1 so they been in flower for over 2 weeks. This is my first grow and ive searched several hundred posts and didnt find my anwser. So my question is i know when they start to flower they loose some leaves to yellowing. but how much? the bottoms of all my plants are yellowing. should i add some nitrogen? should i cut off the yellow ones? also do you start clipping some of the shade leaves off so the flowers get more light? i am usuing 3 1000watt hps i have a dehumidifier on at night fresh air all day and night. airconditioner when its hot. i use general organics from gh room temps from 68 to 85 i am usuing a secret jardin 10x10 i water with nutes everyday they are in roots organics soiless medium.

Plants use alot of nitrogen during the stretch phase, i would add some for sure. Some people say nitrogen in flower is bad but ive never seen a plant do better without adding when it needed it than with adding it when needed. Maybe if you gave them high nitrogen feedings all the time it might be bad but Dont be afraid to give them some nitrogen during flowering if you need to, its alot better to keep your leaves around and healthy making energy for the plants. dont snip off leaves, they are the main and most effecient energy producers for the plant, it may look like its blocking light but leaves are not nearly as solid as they look. Only about 15% of the light that hit them is used, 85% keeps going onward. as for when to remove *damaged* leaves if the leaf does not come off with a gentle tug let it be, the plant will cannabilize any leaf it feels is no longer worth keeping alive.

They look good ,continue as you are just keep on eye on the yellowing. Some yellowing of fan leaves at this stage is normal . Keep up the good work mom.

normally bout 3 weeks. it stops when your plants start focusing on bud growth, youll notice the slowdown. It wont revert them to veg, it will just cause your plants to develop a nitrogen def. which will cause leaves to start yellowing and dying.
