Week 5 FLWR lower leaves turning yellow?

Hi just started week 5. I watered and fed yesterday using my GH Nutes ( 1 tsp grow/ 2 tsp micro/ 3 tsp bloom) Ph 6.5 per gal. About the only difference I've made is upping the micro and bloom and today I noticed a lot of yellow leaves happening on lower plants? Am growing Barney's Liberty Haze. Maybe my feeding is off? Possibly need more N? Or a mag deficiency?

It's called Senescence and it's normal. You want this to happen. The plant is using up it's internal stores of nitrogen and chlorophyll. Don't up your nutrients, you'll end up with nasty tasting buds.

Yesterday I watered heavier than usual and soaked the 3 gal containers to runoff and then today I see the yellowing? The temp under led runs 85 or a little less everyday, Rh mid to low 30's with a 6" line bringing air into and out of the tent. This was an overnight yellowing where that did not exist yesterday early afternoon. Wondering if the sudden change had something to do with over watering? Maybe I should let them dry out and water Ph adjusted H20 only for a week?

sounds like they are just starting to get closer to harvest time. its normal and different strains will show it differently

I had a similar issue with my Liberty Haze where after I fed a bloom booster the next day I saw a yellowing of the leaves not the normal N burn and it happened fast. I flushed and stayed on track... Excellent smoke I should throw down more seeds.
