Yellowing leaves
NobodysBudsanswered grow question 5y ago
I'd get your pH up a bit before doing anything else... then re-assess. A higher pH will increase Nitrogen uptake as well as some other things . in soil, ~6.5-6.8 is probably the range you want to stick to.

I have uploaded a few more pictures - getting worries as the yellowing is continuing. Any ideas?
pH was 5.6 on Saturday when I first mixed the nutes), and then with the air stone has come up to 6.5 or so. I've added a small amount of pH down to temper this back down.Week 7

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.

I'm already seeing yellowing and on the largest plant, #3. Is that due to growth or am I over watering? Approximately 2 gallons in the wick bucket every few days when it starts to feel dry, but I generally spray the top with water on a daily basis, not more than a 1/4 - 1/2 cup.6y ago

Over the last week, I have noticed quite a lot of yellowing of leaves, along with them drying out and getting brittle. Now that I am checking the PH of the nutrients, and adjusting to 6.0, I have no idea what's going on. Any insight as to what the issue may be, is appreciated.Week 5

Leaves turning yellowOld leaves die,mig-age turn light green,new stay green.Is this normal for just week 4 of flowering on my auto?
Do you think it might be ready sooner than week 11? Or is it just a problem?

Cut off yellow leaves.Can I cut off these leaves?
I am worried that this is an autoflowering plant and it will be an additional stress for it. But it also seems to me that it is spending some effort to keep these leaves alive and it would be better if it spent this effort on the buds.Week 5
