Your plants are taking what they need from them. It's natural. Trim them off and keep doing what you're doing.
I jumped to conclusions at first. My area had some well below normal temperatures recently. 3 nights of 37 degrees. It hit everything hard. Leaves are dieing and falling from the trees. It effected all 9 strains I'm growing differently. The biggest changes were my potted plants. Many of my larger fan Leaves are turning yellow on some. Many factors to consider. I have one stain with one potted and one in the ground. After that cold snap they don't compare the same in the looks of the leaves.

Yes they look like they are in the last 2 weeks. The plant will use the nitrogen from your fan leaves as it matures. I love to see the yellowing starting after the buds are nice and solid. You are doing great. Just water from now on. If you have a loop start checking trichomes. I will bet you they are all milky white now. 😁 yours are bigger than my first time. Great effort!

Yellowing leaves can be a sign of a few things, like overwatering, underwatering, or nutrient deficiencies (like nitrogen). Make sure you're not watering too much or too little, and check that your plants are getting balanced nutrients. A good soil mix and proper light can help get things back on track!
 
Your pH is to high. Try for 6.5 to 6.8. That's a good ph for up taking nutrients in soil.
In hydro it's 5.5 to 5.8.
I use to not worry about it but I actually see a big difference in my plants and veggies if I watch the PH.
My tap water is 7.5 so I have learned to lower it between 6.5 to 6.8 as close as I possibly can. And I can tell you it definitely makes a difference.
Also adding nutrients to your water for feeding changes the pH so make sure you check your pH after mixing your nutrients in the water.
I've got one nutrient I use just for my tomatoes that brings my pH down to 2.8 or so.😳 That's why I check my ph. My tomatoes would not stand a chance with a ph below 3.0.
So I have to raise my ph.
My Fox Farm nutrients raise the pH.
So as you can see it is important to check your pH before watering or feeding.

I use these from Home Depot.
It works great and last along time.
It's in powder form and mixes very easily.

I need more because I have a huge garden. I use probably 20 gallons of water a day.
Always let your water set for 24hrs before using it to allow the chlorine to burn off.
Chlorine is not good for plants.
