Leaves turning yellow

[Figgin' A]

I think next yesr i am gling to start them a bit more later. This yesr I started then mid February and by April they were already overcrowding in the tent. Next year I might try mid March head start.

As for the breba, I had it very early last year too. I am not good at desceibing taste but it was very very sweet and delicious.
Picture is from last year.

That's a beautiful breba. Gotta love that dark red color.

Mid-March will work for some, for sure. A Mt Etna headstarted mid-March would start ripening for in late July. I've had some promising results with my makeshift greenhouse. I am thinking of trying a hybrid scenario next year. That will allow me to headstart earlier, but avoid overcrowding.

Agreed with what others said. its dropping them due to not enough light penetration on the bottom section. you could alternatively have spider arm lamps that you can have it hit the plant all from the side as well. I can't help but question though, where are you located and why is it in a tent?

@Armo Confirmed this again. Two of my most mature trees in the garage tent were the last ones to be transitioned outside started to drop leaves about a week and a half ago. Their canopies are large and dense. Only the lowest leaves were dropping. I've been wheeling them outside over the past 5 days to acclimate, and the leaf drop stopped on the second day, pretty much. I did not change the watering or fertilizing schedules.

Additional, supplement light on the floor pointing up?

That should work I guess. I saw a post on Facebook where someone mentioned doing it. To me, it sounded a little too much… I don’t know, maybe eventually I’ll decide to try it, but I am not ready now for it. I have draw the line somewhere. It’s not a big issue to worry about it anyway.

Could be somewhere very hot, to keep the trees away from the burning sun and excessive heat.

Oh, ain’t that a cute question.

I’m at a mysterious place.
The reviews are terrible, the weather make no sense, and every fig tree just says, ‘You’ll know when the time comes.’”

Are there any blue jays, maple leafs, raptors, or argonauts nearby?
