Something's up with the bottom leaves, they're turning yellow on 2 of the plants. I'm thinking it must be a mobile deficiency/toxicity since it's only the lower leaves.
Don't think they should be deficient in anything yet, they're in new Ocean Forest soil and only been in veg for 11 days so they shouldn't be lacking anything unless it's from lockout.
I double-checked that my water pH is 6.5, and my runoff pH is between 6.0 and 6.5 so that looks good.
Only thing I've fed them other than water so far is a little CAPS bennies last week. No nutes yet.
I let them dry out quite thoroughly before watering (not my first rodeo) so I doubt over-watering is an issue, but it's not impossible.
Still not sure what's causing this yet.

The more I look into it, the more I'm thinking this is likely overwatering. I'm used to a significantly hotter HPS light, and under the new LEDs these plants take much longer to dry out than I'm used to. Going to go much lighter on the watering and not worry too much unless it gets worse.
I'm pulling the most vigorous plant out and putting her into a separate veg area to act as a future mother. I intend to veg her extremely slowly, just enough to give me 6 clones for the next flower cycle in ~13 weeks, so I mean SUPER slow. Put her under a 23W CFL bulb. Will just flower 3 plants this cycle.
Switched from 24/0 to 20/4 on the lighting today.
Don't think they should be deficient in anything yet, they're in new Ocean Forest soil and only on day 11 of veg, no way they used up what's in the soil yet.
More details in my grow diary comment.
This is damage caused by the leaves hitting either the edge of the pot or the soil surface when the fan blows on them and generally at night when the leaves are lowered. Nothing much to be concerned over.
Filling your pots right up to the top would give more room for root growth.
Hope this helps,..............

I agree, looks like mag. Be careful when removing leaves as if the deficiency is not corrected she will start taking nutrients from another leaf. Causing more damage to the plant. I'd leave them on for a a little longer in future. You can cut the dead bits off without issue, if you like.
Hope this helps 🙂
@SegaYGriega, aw thank you! They've come a long way since I fried and stunted them in the early weeks while figuring out the LED light strength and proper distance 😄 now they're cruising 😎
Looking good and progressing very nicely !! Good luck with the grow !
