SORRY NO PICS, NO FREAKIN CAMERA, SORRY!
STILL TAKE SOME INPUT THOUGH ?
In another forum I was advised that the plants were pruning them selves do to their age. plant food has helped slow the yellowing process my babies are close to my house and are getting visable to others I know I should'nt speed mthe process but don't want them found so I am trying to bud them

hey here's a crazy thought for you, has it ever crossed your mind that someone may be pinching your plant and turning it to clones?
seriously now, without a picture of it what do you expect to get as a response?
maybe it's an animal that's been eating the leaves leaving only branches behind....
here's more....and that's no fun...since the plants are visible abandon the grow....i am sorry telling you that but your security comes first....why don't you try indoors?
you can look at them as they grow this way:)

alot of plants do this the fan leaves burn out as for the lower limbs alot of mine do that to i don't worry about it

As plants flower they use up the chlorophyll in large fan leaves as they get closer to reaching maturity, it's easier for the plant to pull the chlorophyll from these leaves than it is to produve more chlorophyll. That may be what you are seeing but it is not a problem as it is part of the flowering cycle.

and sage bud saves the day.
