Seedling Lower Leaves Yellowing
TheProfessorGrowsstarted grow question 3y ago
Hey everyone!! I’m doing my first micro grow and things are going well so far at day 16.
Starting about 2 days ago the plant started to show signs of the lower leaves turning light green. Now today they are looking yellow and deformed.
Rest of the plant looks good. Any tips?

Too little water - it's kind of hard to manage in such a tiny cup. The roots aren't happy in that either and probably hit bottom already. If possible, transplant to a proper 10-20L pot. Cup endeavors are difficult to manage even for more experienced growers, and autos aren't usually fans of starting in small containers and then transplanting, they're usually better started directly in final pot.

overfed , overdried, could be ph at least in cup is already off.
plus many more, plant looks very sad, transplant it ASAP, usually it helps, but if you keep repeating your bad habits - 2-3 week of flower latest all problems will return heavily and harvest will be very restricted .....

Do I have a deficiency problem or am I ok? 3 lower leaves on both plants started with the tips browning but now the leaves are going yellow. None of the newer growth has been affected but the 3 leaves seem to be getting worse. See pics in week 4!Week 4

Weak yellowing leavesNot every single time but quite often my plants are turning yellow in the middle of flowering. It starts from bottom and follows to top. I can basically “take off” leaves off stem and the upper ones getting dry and brittle. I’m also quite sure the ph level is correct. Any guess?3y ago

Seedling leaves are discolored and starting to curlNot sure what the issue is here. You can see it evolving over the past few days (Sept 29th - Oct 2nd). The leaves are discolored, light, almost yellowish in color. And one is starting to curl. There are clear images of this in the post above. What's going on here? Thank you!Leaves. Curl up

One of my plants fans are yellowing, spotting, pretty badly. The medium PH is 6.5, same as my other plants, but she just doesn’t seem to be liking it. I’m using nutrients, but not heavily. About a quarter teaspoon per gallon of the flora trio. It’s the mid fans not bottom or new.Week 6
