... kush, there have been many folks with problem using KS,.. I'm one of them as well! And coco is a very different sort of medium, not even a true soil, so I think it's a bad choice to pair with any supersoil type set-up,... what's you water source, pH, and EC/ppm's? Are you pHing the water? Symptoms look like she eating the fans, tapping out the P mostly i think,... this fits, as the KS has shown to be consistently short on the necessary P source in it,... I suggest getting a solid pH reading of the mediums in that pot, both coco and KS layers (if you have a probe, otherwise the run-off method is not recommended in this case)... and find an organic bloom or PK booster, like Roots Organic HPK,...

Adios People. AutoWonders Has Left the Building.
I get lower leaf yellow on many of my grows. I don't really worry about it unless something real ugly pops up.
@Waira i have been using distilled water but this past feeding I used purified water due to the store being out of distilled water and I keep my ph between 6.5 and 6.8 I use the KS recommended ph up and down and I am sorry I do not know what EC/ppm is I can order the stuff today so I can test the soils
@AutoWonders I was hoping all I would get was yellowing but it was followed by brown spots and dying leaves and it seems to be rising
All my plants do the same thing at that age, early flowering. Unless it really progresses up the plant, I presume such things are normal for the bottom leaves (with these leaves likely to sooner or later get picked-off even it looking good). Otherwise, as has been suggested, a P or bloom booster might fix it. Are you feeding vegetative or bloom nutes? As day 38, if not already but the plant is still growing, consider shifting to a veg/bloom mix, or just switch to bloom nutes (likely with with an appropriate bloom-booster, P-containing, additive. I use AN Bud Ignitor).
