it's been about a month in veg
i've got mixed spectrum 2 daylight and 2 soft white
they started going yellow a few days ago and it's only gotten worse
i've feed them 2 days ago (first real feeding) they've just been goin off the soil until i got it some more food so i don't see why it's turning yellow

anyone at all?

the 3rd pic is just water spots i was wondering if anyone knew how to get rid of those?

nute burn. what % of nutes did u feed it? always good to start at 1/8 dose or 1/4 does and start working up from there.. what kinda soil are you usen? does it have self releaseing nutes in it alrdy? When you feed your plants do you give just water 1 feeding then nutes next and so on?

it was doing it before i fed it and i'm using backyard sifted with perilite and i'm only feeding it water right now caust the nutes i got are a 3 month feed but didn't put a full amount so maybe like 2 - 2.5 months but it was starting to do that before i fed it but it hasn't gotten better since i fed it

You are using backyard dirt mixed with perlite, and you partially fertilized it with 3 month fertz and are giving it only water?? And you don't see the problem??

Flush with clean water, then get some real fertz and feed them, sounds like they are starving for nitrogen. Good luck, hope they get better.

thank you

i wasn't sure if flushing it would do any damage and yes backyard compost with perlite and 3 month organic nutes with just plain pH'd tap water
of course i couldn't see the problem this is only my second grow and my first one had virtually no problems with the MG with time release no joke i'm having more troubles with organic then with MG

but rep+ for the info thank you again

hey mary is it just the bottom leaves that are turning yellow? is the rest of the plant green? if so its normal for the lower leaves to go yellow sometimes.

I would honestly go and buy some soil from a local growshop and then just transplant them and feed them regular water for a while until they recover i would go with foxfarm organic if i was you

My plants are just now 1 month old and I had the same problem.. Absolute first thing you have to do is check your Ph. My Ph was around 7.6 which is way too high.
So I found some stuff at my local lowes called IronSafe, its made by lilly miller. the nute ratio is 4-0-0. It has 4% nitrogen, 10% sulfur as well as all the other trace elements. I just sprinkled a small handful around my plants and they took off like a rocket. The Ph is now around 6.5 on the runoff water and the soil is around 6.8 They have now turned dark lush green and have doubled in size in 8 days. Dont always assume nitrogen is the only culprit of yellow leaves. I am by no means a pro, just telling you what worked for me. The only other thing i did in the earlier stages was to spray magnesium sulfate (epsom salt)on the leaves. 1/2 teaspoon in a quart of room temperature water, let dry and spray again with clean water. On your next grow remember to never give a new seedling nutes. Wait two weeks before starting a mild nutrient solution.
