She's a Sweet Afghan Delicious, 3 weeks old tomorrow the lower leaves (not cotyledon) are turning yellow on the tips, should I start with nutrients?

What media is it in? What size pot? What is your watering schedule? You gotta post details up when asking questions to get more informed answers.

It's in Doff soil, a ten litre pot and I'm feed about 100ml of water a day.
 
She's hungry. Make sure the air flow is gentle. She looks like she might be suffering from a little too much.
 
Is this the stuff? Because, if so, I am reading it as Coco coir. If that is the case, you should not only be feeding it, but you should be feeding it at least once a day every single day and never watering it with plain water.

Yep, that's it and thank you for the advice I'm on a budget so I'll put together a feed from tomorite and liquid seaweed I've been feeding with plain water for three weeks I'll change it up.

I highly highly recommend researching some of the coco grows on this forum. It's not super hard to grow in, but there are some pretty hard and fast rules you need to follow when using cocoa. As somebody that tried to get around those rules and basically reinvent the wheel with coco, I can assure you, it is not worth the headache in the long run. Do it right from the beginning or from where you're at now and you will love coco. It is an awesome media to grow in. But, check out the rules and follow them. And also as far as this being a forum for advice, yes it is. Ask your questions give as much information as possible and you will get good answers. Of course, sometimes you will get somebody given a smart-ass remark you just kind of have to take those with a grain of salt. This is voice to text and I did not proofread it very well, so hopefully it comes through clear.
 
Yeah it seems I've been doing the complete opposite of what I was supposed to do, luckily I have a hardy strain and I'll research as much as I can about the coco as my research was on soil. Still a lot to learn. And it's the internet it happens everywhere. And clear as day.

Kind of kicking myself now I got complacent but I guess I'm in the decent stage now where there's less chance of it dying I'll feed it what it needs and I should have a decent plant.
 
Yellowing tips on the lower leaves can be an early sign that your plant might need nutrients, but it’s important to approach this carefully. At three weeks old, if you haven't started feeding yet, it might be time to introduce a mild nutrient solution, especially one with nitrogen, which is key for healthy leaf growth.
