New Growth is Pale Green Despite Proper Nutrition and PH

arDubstarted grow question 4y ago

Any ideas why newer growth on Slurricane looking pale/light green? Pre-veg soil test didn't show any deficiencies and was ammended properly. PH is in check water in typically 6.4-7.0. Plenty of calcium in soil. Feeding Micronutrients once weekly.

In new leaflets, chloroplasts (the part of the leaf that contains chlorophyll) are still in development. So newest growths don’t have as much chlorophyll as oldest, which means less green pigments. You’ll see them get greener as the chloroplasts will gone more mature. All the best !

Today is the end of day 7 since she broke ground. I've been using distilled water and the ph seems good. I added 1.25 ml and now The ppm is at around 38 ppm. Are the tips of the new leaves supposed to be that light green or are they getting burned?

In week 4 I planted the plants in a richly fertilized soil mixture. The leaves of the plants are now becoming more yellow. Do the plants suffer from a nutritional deficiency? What should I do? Adding organic fertilizer to the water tank could lead tot clogging of the tubes....

Mosaic pale discolouration of older leaves Hey fellow growers. It is day 16 since sprouting. The development looks good, but I see discolouration of older leaves. I researched a bit, and it seems to be thrips? I searched really good but I cannot spot any insects. What do you think? Preventively use insecticide or wait?
