Early flowering yellowing

Posted on August 27th about my issue. Plants are 15 days into 12/12 and I’m having yellowing and dying of the lower older growth. Assumed a nitrogen deficiency and gave a gallon (1/4 str) of GO BioThrive Grow (4-3-3) on the 27th, and half gallon of the same on the 31st. Still had yellowing so I gave it again on Sept 3rd (3/4 gallon at 1/2 str). Also, gave small bit of calmag with each watering. Still everyday there’s 2-4 more leaves that have yellowed and I’m wondering if I have a problem or is it normal? I’d imagine a few dead leaves is normal but not at this rate.

Are they burning through nitrogen in stretch and I’m giving too low a dose? Or could they be receiving not enough light?

Leaves from today


The canopy still looks good



Quick overview of my setup..
1x 600w full spec LED light
5 gal buckets using Fox Farm Strawberry Fields.
4 inch exhaust fan and carbon filter with a small fan at the bottom circulating air.
Temps usually 70-80, humidity unknown my guess is 50-60%

I think it’s normal bro to have a few lower leafs turn yellow, I defoliated my plant today she’s looking like this atm cleared abit of yellow leafs at bottom and just a tidy up all together I’m Day 19 in flower! N ur plants look good bro

Ok thanks! I know that lower yellowing is normal bc the plant is sending energy up top to the buds, just questioned the rate. Seems every day theres 3-4 new leaves that have yellowed and fallen off. Is that a normal rate?
