Yellowing?

She shouldn't need anything for 4 weeks atleast. Only calmag is water doesnt have it. Did you add dolomite? Aprox. 1 Tbsp per gallon of soil as a pH buffer.

Dont add any nutes for the first few weeks. The yellowing is most likely a ph issue. Like coho said only add calmag if your using distilled water and add dolamite lime for ph balance. Test the runoff to see where its at. Even MG organic has enough N to last it through week 3-4 of veg depending on what kind of light you are using.

well PH is acidic 5.5. Should I bring it up and how do i do this? I want to nip it in the butt before she gets worse.

Be careful with that. Its hotter than dolomite by alot. Don't put it directly into the soil.

a trusted fried at ACE told me its all hydrated lime now. You really cant go wrong with it. the guidelines are about the same as Dolamite.

at your plants age i wouldnt worry to much about yellowing just dont over water when watering at this stage plant is taking lots of stored energy into root growth just look at the new growth normally it will come out lightish green and turn dark in time
let her do her thing and once your into 3 week mark i would slowly add in light porportion some plant food

When you make up your soil add 1 Tbsp of dolomite per gallon of soil. Cervantes (his youtubes have lots of info) uses hydrated lime and dolomite. I don't know his perportions.

edit: I pH my nutes/water before I add it btw. Dolomite trys to keep the pH about 7. Its a buffer.
