What kind of issue here? I think about the pH. -Soil : Light-Mix Biobizz (pH 5,5- 6,5) -Water pH : approximately 5.5 / 6 (initialy 7.4 and I read that is too high, I reduce him to 5.5/6) -Watering : 50ml every 2 or 3 days -Temp and humidity : 23 celsius degree and 44% -Pot : 11L
Solved
Leaves. Color - Yellow

In soil you want your ph 6.5-6.8 in soiless I run 6.0-6.3. The yellowing on your plant is at the top of the plant so we know its not N deficient, Iron deficiency will cause new groth to yellow, so will lights that are too close or too powerfull. PH is most likely your issue, unless you have lights way too close. For future reference mobile nutrient deficiencies start at the bottom of the plant, immobile will start at the new growth. Nitrogen is a mobile nutrient, which is why nitrogen deficiency show up on the oldest leaves first and works its way up the plant if untreated. Happy growing.

did you change the PH in the Water before Watering ? Biobizz Soil usually buffers all water to the ph of around 6,5 so you dont need to soften your water! Unless its got a ph of 7,8+ or something... If you use Tap water let it sit a day or two in the dark so the Chlorine can evaporate and you should be good to go no need to further dabble with the ph. I would say Nitrogen but thats more of a guess...

Ph is way way too low, my ph is about 7.5 and I never adjust ph when using biobizz all mix or light mix if using bio biz nutrient range. You can see from my diary how my plants look. My advice is aim for 6.3-6.7 or you can do what I do and don’t use any at all as long as what comes out the tap isn’t about 7.5.

Hello. I think that the pH you use is too low for soil. I use biobizz light mix also and feed and water at a pH of range between 6.2 and 6.7. I try to mix it a bit each feed so pH varies between feeds but never as low as 5.5. this I think would lock out your roots from nitrogen as a minimum.
