Man that is exactly my case!
Im in 5th week of flowering and my Ortega Indica has been having the exact same issue with drying out. I can not figure it out cause my other plant (master kush) is doing just good under the same conditions. I have tried to raise the humidity, but that did not help either. What goes for the leaves turning funny color, I suppose that is due to lack of light since they are shaded and located on the lower portion of the plant, that is also happening in my case.I researched this issue, but could not find any solid answers. Suggestions would really be appreciated.

a natural part of the plants life cycle......loosing old fan leaves in flower.....the plant is getting old.

Fan leaves are the energy producers for the plant (big healthy fan leaves = big healthy buds),with enough nitrogen (but not too much) in flower you should b able to keep all your leaves all the way through. Letting ANY part of the plant die and just saying its natural is ridiculous. Growing under lights isnt natural, growing in pots isnt natural...since when do we stick to natural?

Yea maybe to do with light but i did not think that would be the cause. I have 2 600w lights. But would like to know if it is a problem. It seems healthy enough and looks like it is budding well. Got white widow on the go at the min. There pritty tall though. From the top of the soil a good 4ft high in height.
Yea i have been looking but thought someone could give me advice on it. Maybe not grow them as tall lol

My White Widow always seems to hunger for nitrogen, even and all through flowering...it was a hard job keeping the leaves dark green, even through veg... I was using a solid tablespoon per 5 gallons but it wasn't enough so I increased it...

Its only happend since i went into flower. It was looking really green and healthy. Still does but a fair few leaves are not looking too good. Did you have any problems with your white widdow? Im useing biobizz bloom and topmax one cap full of each. Per gallon water

What week of flower are they in? I would look for other signs of stress like curling or folding leaves.

I have just gone into my 5th week now. I will take a few photos of them tomorrow so you can see them.

I'm pretty sure it's your soil, it's drying really fast or it has poor drainage, I'd suggest to try setting up a drip irrigation system, it's cheap and allows you to grow big plants in small pots.
