Any suggestions or tips for finding out why this 1 plant (strain- Alcapulco Gold) has been yellow since day 1 of Veg Stage. My 7 other plants are fine.

Burning from too hot soil mix. Acapulco Gold is a Sativa that needs a lot less nutrients than other strains. Just keep giving plain water until the leaves grow without burn marks, wait another two weeks then start feeding with half strength nutrients, this is all she will need, even in flowering, half strength. It needs to use up what nutrition is in the soil already before new nutrients are added. If not, the burning will just continue. Fox Farm soils seem notoriously too rich from reports in this forum. Personally I would advise against doing 12/12 from seed, it takes so long and you are better to get them growing properly and vigorously at 18/6 and then switching to 12/12 for flowering. Otherwise it is a bit like driving a vehicle and never getting out of first gear! You will obviously have to feed the Acapulco Gold its own blend of fertilizers and this shows how not all cannabis can need or cope with exactly the same nutrition. Either that or just dilute the nutrients that you are making 50/50 with plain water before giving it to the Acapulco Gold plant. At this stage I can't see the need to be feeding any of your plants with Bud Candy or Terpinator, these are flowering supplements, not grow nutrients. Hope this helps, Organoman.

As it's one out of seven it's prolly just a spot more rich in nutrients in the soil that caused a few burn on start up, it happen as well some phenotype within a strain are more sensitive to feeding than some others.

Ph is or was off and or soil was too hot at start. Fertilizer. Ot overwatering can cause these issues as well

I think perhaps it's a bit of nute overload but the colors are truly strange! Kind of pretty if it were a coleus but it's not! Some plants just need different care... some can take really strong doses of nutes, others can't... I don't think this little one can. I guess I would suggest a flush just to get her back to square one... and then, when you start the nutes again, start them at 1/2 strength. I use Fox Farm nutes as well and the nitrogen level of the Grow Big just seems to be far too much for a lot of plants... so go easy! Ah... one last thought... you might want to check the ph of your runoff if you haven't already.... it may be she's out of balance there as well.... Good luck! Enjoy your grow.....
