Is lighting my issue?

Remember that the leaves wont recover even if you've fixed the problem. I believe you locked out certain nutrients with either bad PH or too much of a certain nutrient. Heavy flush, wait a few days then give a very light feed.

I’m coming off of a two feeding (every other day) flush of distilled water only. They have one feeding of megacrop to date. (The original picture was from about a week ago. New growth is slowly starting and is appearing greenish. When you say that the leaves won’t recover, is kind of a relief. I thought they would come back. I did trim off a lot of the all yellow and white leaves tonight as I am hoping to direct the feedings to new growth. At this point I am at trial and error!

If your new growth is coming in green, there's a good chance you have corrected your problem.

Just a thought, ever think of starting a journal here? Not only does it allow you to take notes, it also allows others to follow along your grow and if anything happens, they could be a bigger help.

This has helped me a lot of the past couple grows hopefully someone else finds it helpful the loud cloud guys have put out some great illustrations on this... https://www.loudclouds.co/plant-nutrient-deficiency-chart/ shows more then what i posted in the last post.
Looking at their charts and my plants, it looks like mine just arent getting enough nutrients. Sulfur, zinc, iron and a few others are what I see. They’ve been flushed andjust got a second feeding of megacrop tonight. Since the first feeding, things are starting to look better. Fingers crossed!

What media are you in? How long have they been in those pots?
They are in happy frog. They were in the pots for less than a month when I started “chasing problems.” I don’t want to go with to big of a post as these are mothers, but I did buy some 7 gallon air pots. Just not sure how much room I want to dedicate to mothers. Trying to keep it small.

Sulf and iron is what i thought, good growing

I'd look at your pH...closely. And while I'm not a proponent of checking runoff pH...in your case, I would. I would also double check that you're feeding a balanced feed, to be sure you're not locking out micros. Good luck friend.

Thanks for the input!! I have been diligently checking ph and it’s been or adjusted to 6.4. The plants are now on the upswing and the yellow is slowly turning back green!!! I think it was a case of under feeding them. If I remember, I will post up a pic or two tonight.

Careful with big temp and/or rh swings.

My veg thrives around 80f on/75f off. Humidity 60%.
If I have big swings - boom! - frickin PM possibility.

Be sure to confirm your PH pen is accurate.
