Chlorosis in lower leaves

MobyDick420ESPstarted grow question 5y ago

chlorosis in lower leaves, (white is not powdery mildew, it is sulfur) since it is not a diseased plant, could it be due to humidity? since the earth doesn't dry well? or for lack of water? or nutrients? Any help or opinion is welcome ( only did apical pruning.)

Light pentration? Are your lower leaves getting light? If not they will die off and use the canopy for energy.

What can I do? Leafs starting to turn yellow. First grower Yesterday, I noticed some leafs starting to turn yellow and also the tips of the top leafs to be a bit brown. So I watered (nutrition in the desc) and calmag 2 ml, because I thought it might be either lack of PK or cal mg. What else can I do? What about my watering schedule?

Seedling advice Hi, my light was at 60cm with an average humidity of 70 degrees Celsius. There’s slight dryness around the tips, yellowing, crispness. Remedy thus far: I moved the light up to about 75 cm, it’s a 100W led. Humidity also dropped to about 60 degrees. Any advice to remedy?

Strange coloured fan leaves (3) on one of my 4 plants, maybe some sort of deficiency? Thanks people!Hey there smart people! I have about 3 strange coloured fan leaves on one of my 4 plants and I’m not really sure what to make of it. To me it doesn’t look like any deficiencies that I came across per say. All other leaves look nice and healthy. Kinda randomly scattered. THX!

Yellowing, wilting, stunted growth Can anyone please help me identify whats wrong with them. I've done a flush, adjusted the lights, reduced the nutrient strength, I've pretty much done everything and still stunted growth and they are still looking weak and frail. I'm lost and I don't even know what's wrong.

Yellow new foliage From my research it could be phosphorus toxicity, iron deficiency or sulfur deficiency. Or it could be over watering. Or it could be poor drainage. Or it could be light deficiency (I have a 42watt Tled with some led strips until Mars 600 arrives)
