Ive got an Acapulco Gold plant and shes nearly 7 weeks into flowering. Evidently this strain takes 10 to 11 weeks. A few lower leaves are turning yellow, shrivelling and dropping off. Im feeding her half strength organic seaweed with half strength PK mix every 3rd water. Im using t5 lights and the yellowing ones are about 3ft from the lights. Is it just lack of light on them or an early Nitrogen deficiency? The rest of the plant is fine all leaves green and healthy. Should I give it Nitrogen? Thanks.

At this stage its a toss up. I think it maybe should have gotten some nitrogen a little longer as i do believe it is nitrogen deficiency, but, im not sure if adding nitrogen at this point will do any good as it is close enough to harvest that you would probably be stopping nitrogen at this point or close too at least. It is normal for bottom leaves to yellow late in flower though and if the rest of the plant is healthy i wouldnt worry about it. I would wait until someone who is better at soil to give their 2 cents tho. I grow in hydro and coco and if it were me i would add nitrogen but it is easier for me to flush my medium than it is in soil.
TLDR: It is probably fine but if the plant starts to look sick add a tiny bit of nitrogen....

It is perfectly normal for leaves to turn yellow in this stage of growth. With in the next week or so you will see a lot more leaves turning yellow. Just pluck them off. I would like to see a picture of t he whole plant. If you are in week 7 of flowering, don't give them any more nutrients. Just PHd water. You should be near harvest. The last Acapulco Gold I grew was finished in 8 weeks.
