Yellow leaves
dyrachokstarted grow question 5 years ago
The lower leaves turn yellow
Is it due to a lack of nitrogen, or is it self-defoliation of the plant? (photos at week 5)
I look forward to your advice)
Should other leaves be defoliated or left as they are?

If you are using quality soil, you should not be experiencing nutrient deficiencies at just 5 weeks.
Yellowing of lower leaves seems to be normal. I am dealing with this, in my C99 outdoor grow.
I remove these leaves, once yellow is the dominate shade. It is just a few leaves a week, and there is plenty of new gorgeous green leaves.
As long as she continues to grow out new GREEN leaves, I would not tinker with specific nutes to add, outside your regular feeding, IF that is what you are doing now.
Good growing!!👍

In my opinion, it’s a nutrient burn or wrong ph, try to check the ph monitor (maybe check plain water if it’s is 7.00), seems to have a strong green colour maybe to much nitrogen!
I would give a flush and start with low dose nutrient again!

Yellow blemishes1 week old seedling is starting to develop yellow blemishes on initial leaves. Soil is biobizz lightmix, PH 6.2 from bottled water with no nutes, 150w led light is at 50% and 25-30cm distance. Is it a cal-mag deficiency, light burn, genetics, or just too soon to worry?Leaves.

Slight lightburn?First pair leaves on left plant turn slightly lighter, first sign of yellowing a bit. Also I think they are a bit in a V/praying shape.
2 full weeks old under 75% of 200W leds about +-45cm. Should I dim them a bit more/hang higher?
Other suggestions maybe?Leaves. Curl up
