Hey all, i have planted three purple kush auto, two weeks into veg, other two plants dont have these brownie/yellowish leaves,as you can see from the picture, the bottom leaves are turning yellow also,could this be lack of nutes or burning, ive raised my lights for the moment, i had them down low so they wouldnt stretch as much,
all opinions are greatly received

a little more info would be nice like your set up and nutes, organic salt based. watering scheduled. these things help a ton when trying to figure out what is wrong.. to me it Could be,, under or over watering, ( leaves clawed and drooped), (n) def., root bound, magnesium def. or possible ph problem
if these were my plants, i would first flush them with 6.5 ph'ed water, and check run off. to check for soil ph if over 7.0 wait a day or two and flush again, You can never go wrong with flushing a plant.....
2nd i would transplant into a bigger pot prolly 2 to 3 times bigger. then i would add nute's very light and pay attention to how much your watering them.. for a pot that size maybe 200 ml's should be running out of the pot... if your giving more your prolly over watering. ( it should trickle out the bottom not pour) lift the pot and notice the weight.. when properly watered/feed. then lift to compare weight be for watering again. if its lighter then its time to check the soil with your finger. yes put your finger into the soil for a sec to feel if its moist or dry. and go from there.
The new homes for your girls will allow the roots to spread and flourish but it cant happen when its root bound.. i would recommend smart pots. they take the guess work out of how much to water when used properly... i hope this helps, and please when you post give more info on your set up and pics are awsome.. thanks and good luck

they look like they need some more food. Back off on the watering. Every day, damn. Water it till runoff then let it dry out, if the roots are always wet they have no need to grow to find water. Smaller root=smaller plant=smaller yield.

flush first, repot, feed, remember that your growing in soil, it takes some time for the signs to show up that the problem is fixed... i would also be vigilant about checking ph to the water going in and coming out.
if your going to just try to up the nutrients (n) make sure to add (p) along with it. and add some Epsom salts, and calcium wouldn't hurt. good luck.

I believe autos have different requirements when it comes 2 nutes. I would in this order. Flush existing soil,transplant into more fresh soil, add well rounded npk fert with some micros. If you have myco fungi add some to the new soil b4 transplant as close to where the roots are going to be as possible. After all of that is done wait a few days to examine results. You should see I pro events. I remember I once started a plant in straight worm casting and it was growing more then twice as fast as any of my others. Then my dog ate it. Very ironic but true. Point being if u feel like shelling out the money you can do a mostly wmc mix with your choice of liquid or dry amendments. The wmc should last till mid-end of veg

looks like you fed them too early with too much...back off the feeding till they look normal...and remember that they don't need feeding until the lil round leaves ((cotyledons=food/energy for younglings)) start to wilt...otherwise you're force feeding them and they don't like it...good luck...

no problems, the reason i urge for you to repot is, for two weeks the growth is good. if you repot and allow for them roots to reach for the water a bit, and produce more roots. the thing is going to fricking explode. i used to leave them in the pots for a while and go up just a lil bit at a time for the pot size. and always had slow results. ever since i started doing this. : i went from red solo (beer cup) to a 5 gallon pot with in two weeks i was root bound to the solo cup. i replanted to the 5 gal with some myco's mixed in the dirt. and omg, my girls became teenagers in a week. they grew so fast i had to pinch tops every two days to keep um bushy.. i woulda had them in bloom at one month to the day of planting the hatched seed , but i had a calcium def, that i wanted to take care of before i switched over... now im in full bloom and there stinking and getting bigger.... give it a try bud trust me youll like the results i did....
