Older leaves dying from inside out

Hello everyone I have a pure sativa in flowering and it is week 11 of flower now, I think it still got another 6-8 weeks to go(i'm not sure yet) before its ready but I'm facing some kind of issue with the plant. The older leaves are dying starting at the base of the stem, the leaves yellow at the base before turning brown while the rest of the leaf takes on a lime color. I am feeding organic fertilizer composed of bone meal, seaweed powder, neem cake, amino powder, and some other mix(comes premixed). And this not happening to new leaves , only the old ones. First picture is how it starts and then the second leaf is how it ends up to be before the leaf falls off. Any advise would be appreciated.

They loose all the leaves closest to the stem about midway in flower. If it's the leaves closest to the stem and new growth looks healthy I wouldn't worry about it. Cheers!
 
I usually see leaf dying out from outside to inside in problems so it's been worrying me for past couple of days now. You're right they're stem leaves. I guess I'll let it keep going then.

Looks like a typical nitrogen deficiency to me. Nitrogen is a mobile nutrient so the old growth is affected first. The plant doesn’t have enough N so it steals it from the old growth and sends it to the new, more demanding growth up top. It’s normal for the older stuff to die off a bit as the plant gets older. If it starts climbing up the plant then you need to worry

I am honestly not sure but have a look at this picture. You can see there is some dark blotches appearing at the base usually progressing to yellowish color and then turning brown and at the same time the individual fingers also turning to thin out at the same spot.

How many? It's natural for the lower 1/3 to slowly lose its fan leaves, especially the stem ones. Unless you have problems in the top 2/3of the plant, I wouldn't worry.
