Seedling discoloration

balecryanstarted grow question 5y ago

Why are my seedlings yellow towards the center? I was told I was overwatering them so haven’t watered since Monday, still slightly moist under the topsoil.

I think their color is fine. Stick to the wet/dry cycle. it's hard at first if like me, lol. it's still young. When the cotyledons fade, you can start thinking about nutes. some soils can carry you weeks into a grow.

Deficiency or Genetics Would you guys guess the yellowing on these leaves is more natural coloration from genetics or do you guys see something more? Plant is definately small but seems to be healthy and buds keep growing.

Do I have an Iron Deficiency, if so How do I increase Iron levels (Already using Calmag)I think I have an iron deficiency. New Growth is appearing yellow. HYDRO Rain water - (20ppm) PPM 750-900 (just upped) Canna Aqua A+B Calmag (0.35ml/L) PH was 6.2 (as there was a calcium deficiency so I raised it slightly) PH is now 5.8 (I read lower PH is better for Iron Intake

Yellow discoloration again I'm annoyed by having to post another question but oh well. Yesterday evening I increased the PAR from 370 to 400 in center. This morning the top fan leaves were pointing straight up and so I raised the lights a little. I later looked and saw discoloration. Light burn?

Magnesium Deficiency ? How can I fix it ?got a little deficiency (maybe burned? but I think not). I'm pretty sure it's magnesium's deficiency, it happens after a flushing. I added 2 times the last 2 weeks a little bit of CalMag (BioBizz, but ive bought it 2 years ago, maybe it doesn't work well idk).

Do these look healthy? Thoughts? I'm new to hydro/growing I have autos growing in a dwc system being fed half the regular amount of hydroguard, calmag, and grow/bloom. 1 plant is a week younger. The dark green plant looks like its leaves are clawing and has big brown spots on the leaves. The other has some brown dots and little yellow.
