Nute Deficiency or New Leaves?!
RecreationalRootsstarted grow question 4 years ago
Thoughts if this yellowing may be nute deficiency? Or are these just new leaves and I am concerned about nothing and I’m babying them since it’s my 1st grow?
Both plants are about to be 2 weeks post sprout. Both are in 5 gallon fabric pots with layered soil (FFHF on top of FFOF)

Correct, you are concerned over nothing, those leaves are perfectly normal and exactly like how new leaves should look.
The paler colour in the youngest part of the leaf is due to the chlorophyll in those areas not being fully functional yet. Once the leaves are full sized and completely opened up, they should have a much more even green colour from top to bottom.
Good to see you ask a question early, a lot of people don't ask for help until their plants are beyond help!
Hope this helps, Organoman.

They look fine at the moment. Give it a few days/week or so and see how they look then. But you stressing over nothing at the moment bud.

Am I about to give my plant a nitrogen overdose?Today I noticed that some of the leaves tips were curling a bit down, being a bit darker and they seem to have some wrinkles too. Could it be nitrogen overdose? How would you correct that? Less fish mix or switch to bio grow?Week 5

What's the problem?Hi guys, basically for the last few days the problem hasn't varied too much but I can't figure out if it's my light or if it's coming from somewhere else. Some of my leaves are curling with stains either on the leaf or like a burn on the tips.Leaves. Twisted

Nitrogen toxicity? Deficiency? Something else? Stumped!I don't get it. Is this N toxicity? Serrated upturned edges, clawing, slow growth. But how? FFHF 75% FFOF 25%. Just Cal-Mag water. No food. NLS in bottom 3rd of pot. Not wind burn. Not too hot/dry at all. N deficiency? Yellow leaves on first bottom two only. I'm stumped.a year ago

Older leaves are yellowing, brown/red rusty spots, dying tissue, red stems.Older leaves have brown/red rusty spots and looks like dying tissue in between the veins.
Burnt tips, and yellowing leaves.
The soil was really dry and my PH meter was 0.4 too high.
I gave each plant 3L of water with EC: 0.0 PH: 6.4 to check runoff.
Runoff was PH: 6.1 EC: 0.8a year ago
