Newbie:Now in three weeks: the lower leaves start to turn yellow quite fast and it is moving to the leaves above it already. One disformed leave as well. Growth seems to slow down a bit. This is fresh fertilised potting soil and I am pretty sure I am not overwatering. Any ideas?

Hi there Kees, so this is what happened : every time you water you’re slightly overwatering which is “activating” or “releasing” the nutrients in the soil a bit “too much” so over time there is an excess of Nitrogen which is causing “lock out” meaning the plant is not taking any more N, and of course in veg it does need N. So now you see the symptoms of N deficiency , but you know there is no deficiency. This you can see first on the leafs , the puffy space between the veins of the leafs is from overwatering, you can also see them wrinkled . Then the yellowing starting with the oldest leafs first , moving upwards . Hopefully there is not too much damage. You can fix this by following a more strict wet dry cycle , try the pot lifting method if you want to learn never to overwater again. Hope this helps ! 🚀

Let that soil completely dry and use the finger test dig an inch into the pot and feel it. If it's moist your good if it feels dry time to water. When possible facing deficiencies I foliar feed what I need to fix the issue because it acts much faster than the roots absorbing them

Even though the soil was fertilized, your plant is showing signs of being underfed. Generally, underfeeding during veg is expressed as a Nitrogen deficiency( yellowing of fan leaves), while underfeeding during flower is generally Phosphorous and Potassium Deficiencies, (yellowing of leaf margins and necrosis on fan leaves). Magnesium and Calcium deficiencies can occur at all points in the life cycle(upward curling of leaves and disfigured new growth).
