How far is the light from the plant? Sound like maybe a nute problem. Maybe N? Need more info. Are you flowering already or still in veg?

Yellow is usually N def, but can be cause by wrong ph levels. salt build ups, being root bound... Gives us some more info..pics?

Meeds you need to give it some kind of nute with some nitrogen in it. It could be caused by other things though... Gives us more info and maybe some pics

Micro's right! Don't just start fixing anything. Believe me man, this is what makes some growers better than others. Give a little more info and lets try to get to the bottom of this.

I had a papaya in dro that turned a brilliant yellow.This plant looked awesome but i knew it was sick.I use strips from walmart that are for fish tanks.they check 5 conditions.Turned out i was over nitrating.These strips ar worth there weight in gold,Ph,Hardness,Nitrate,Safe and something else.Ya cant go wrong with a 5 test combo.Peace Hydro

Good advice....yeah hook us up with some pics. You say plenty of water. I'm thinking you might be over watering. Are you leaves also droppy? Also are all the leaves yellowing or just the lower ones?
