Looks like the light is a bit too close for 20/4. Try to stay under 20 DLI for your seedlings, then 40 during veg. You should try Photone app to measure light, it works fine !

Relax buddy. They go yellow because they expand. If you got a green rubber and expand it extrem it will turn yellow if it's narrow. She looks good.

Yellowing leaves
Hey fam, Just ended 3 weeks of flower for this Banana Purple Punch Auto. A heap of yellow leaves basically appeared over night. I fed on the 13th with flower fert (has some N in it) and again on the 18th. This is the only plant that’s going yellow. What do you think?

Yellow Cotyledons?
NLxBB was born with yellow cotyledons. The shell was stuck after sprouting so I had to help remove it. Took around 2 days before I saw them barely open with new growth. The new growth is green and seems healthy. Is there any reason why this is happening?

Why do I have rapidly spreading yellow on my leaves?
I have this yellow spreading on some of the larger leaves and it's moving super fast. Please help. I've done research and it says it's a deficiency, mostly likely cal/mag. I added that and it got worse, now I'm thinking nutrient lockout? The pH is fine. What do?!

My two Grandaddy Purple Autos are light green/yellow in color. Is a lack of nitrogen the cause or is it something else? What do you recommend to fix the issue?

Natural or Problem?
Is this natural yellowing or is there a problem? pH to 6.3 and runoff is 5.7. The stem is awfully purple, watering/feeding is where I struggle. 1st pic - 4/21 and 2nd pic - today(4/24). Seems to have escalated over the last few days. Do-si-do auto about 10 weeks.

what's wrong?
this yellowing that starts from the edges and ends up drying out the whole leaf is only happening on the hulkberries (the fat banana looks great) so now I just don't know what it could be 😭

Anomolae
Can anyone tell me what's going on in week 2? I transplanted and each plant seems to be yellowing on the lower leaves. Not very happy. Was dry when I took it out of the dixie cup and watered with 1/4 strength veg nutes and a root stimulator. It seems to be curling in as well.
