I noticed you have buds there.. could be naturally dying out.
or a magnesium deficiency..
Imo, single leaf like that. pluck it. /depending on your flowering age. id worry more early in flower, than late..

I won't pluck it when it's a natural process. The plant is reorganizing sugar and has good use for the carbohydrates stored in these leaves. Ok hmmm I read that our tap water is also rich in Mg so I guess it's not that.

Flush and start over. That's your remedy for 99% of all situations.
And you are correct, it's not a good idea to take off the fan leaves, for the exact reasons you gave.

So I flushed with plain tap water, pH around 7,4 and rich in Mg and Ca.

Next time make sure you get it down to the 6.8 range....especially when flushing.
You may want to use distilled, this could be a problem of too much Mg.

Oh... too much Mg? Thanks for that. Distilled water is such a pain in the ass, but I'll try it. On the other hand could I try maybe getting my watering pH down to like 5.5 to lock out Mg? I tested the soil pH and the test said it should be around six.
I turned them lights off because the closet is opposite to the window and I don't wanna get caught ![:cop: :cop:](https://files.growery.org/smileys/cop.gif) Plus they're autoflowers. Oh man, one of them is really smelling like grapefruit-lemon or something... That was the one that stank like garlic the most when she was younger ^^

Maybe you should light proof that closet man.
And no you shouldn't drop the pH. That will just cause a whole mess of problems. Maybe to a mix of distilled and tap to get that Mg down.

Oh I did light proof that closet with all of my paranoid amateur dexterity ![:laugh: :laugh:](https://files.growery.org/smileys/laugh.gif) And good idea about the water, the same thing came up in my mind on that crazy fucking after hour his morning ^^
