Well, for one thing, you've overloaded it with nitrogen... Fox Farm Ocean Forest is loaded with it (the NPK of the soil itself is 4-1-1), now you add dry amendments with 4-4-4 and you've got pretty hot soil. The yellow spots are looking like the start of a calcium deficiency - the calcium being blocked by the nitrogen overload. If this were mine, I'd transplant into a larger pot WITHOUT the amendments (it needs it anyway) and give it only pH'd water for a couple of weeks. The soil will feed the plant for those weeks and hopefully doing this will allow the plant to take up the calcium it needs. Good luck...

High sacredgeometry, For now I can tell you that you used to much nitrogen but you can't do anything about it anymore because you used dry amendments. Just give tap water with pH 6.2 till the real dark green colour starts to become a lighter green colour! For the next time start for 3 weeks inside a small 3 liter pot with only the soil. After 3 weeks you can transplant her to a 10 liter pot where you mixed the dry amendments with the soil. Happy Growing! 😋

Yellow bright new growth New leaves on the Candy Kush plant #1 are bright green/yellow. This seems to have started when increased biogrow from 2ml/l to 3ml/l. Iron, zinc or sulphur deficiency? Only give calmag on next feed? Might have measured pH before adding nutrients so Faber wrong pH?

Sudden Leaf Yellowing – Lighting Issue or Something Else?Hello! Yesterday, I noticed the top leaves turning slightly yellow, but today it looks dramatic. Check the pictures—leaves are yellowing and drying out rapidly. It’s only affecting the central leaves, so I suspect a lighting issue, but I’d like to confirm before taking action.
