Beginning of Week 2 - Yellowing? Over/UnderFeeding?

Are these first leaves showing some yellowing or is this a normal shade for leaves at this point. Just wondering if I might have overfed the plants, or even the opposite. If anyone was able to share what they think it would be extremely appreciated.

Way too early for feeding growmie it's fine though as it should recover feed it water for a few times when it is more dryer. The best thing to do is start with like 2ml per litre the lowest on the manufacturer bottle I found after I build it up from the lowest they can handle loads after starting low and I never get any lockouts just do one feeding one watering I have done one feeding two watering and back to the feed I find they don't mind either. I can see you haven't stated if it's autoflower or photoperiod I find photoperiod ones thrive in any soil but autoflowers require alot more air through the growing medium like perlite or something. And last of all don't over water or over feed if your unsure of the moisture inside of the grow medium pop your finger slightly in the medium if it's wet it doesn't need anymore if it isn't give her some water.

I probably would've waited until I had another set of leaves before I fed any nutrients but what's done is done. Get to PH 5.8 and give her half the recommended dosage for seedlings (google the feed chart for the nutrients you're using) and go from there.

I don’t use coco but that same thing happened to me with soil when i first started growing i would over feed them too early . They will bounce right back after a few days if you just water for once then superlight feed

It's definitely tricky at this stage especially with coco. I suggest dropping your ph to 5.7-5.8 for starters. And testing your tds before you feed but I don't think you're overdoing it by much. Maybe just a touch but by next week she's going to be used to it. Hope this helps.

Hmmmm. It's too young to say for sure. A 3-400 ppm feed is more than enuf at this stage 3-1-2 npk or anywhere near this rato will be fine. That ppm should include your tap. At this stage, feed every 2 days should do and as she moves on Daily feeds, with backup water feeds later on, especially if you're using synthetic nutrs. Also, that coco packed like that. Is gonna make it hard for drainage, and your roots to catch their breath. If I were you. Get some clay pebbles or perlite. Good Growing
