Yellowing of plant

Twojoint
Twojointstarted grow question a year ago
The plant on the right side is starting to turn really light green. (Not yellow yet.) It seems very uniform, started from the top. Does this look like a sulfur deficiency? Or more like a calmag problem? The last picture it looks really yellow but this is just the lighting

I think i fixed it. I started to suspect it wasn't a deficiency but a nutrient lock that was developing. I started this grow accidentaly with heavy fertilized soil so during the grow i did not really feed until i started to see yellowing of 1 plant. This made me think the soil was getting depleted so i started to build up feeding but this didn't help. There was only 1 thing i fed from the beginning and this was calmag. After looking at my notes, i suspected i overdid it a little with the calmag and this was probably causing the lock. I always bottom-watered because at the start i had lots of gnats so the top layer should still have lots of nutrients. I did a little flush, not a heavy one, just enough to flush out the buildup at the bottom and now i am top-watering with no nutrients. This seems to work, the new growth is having a nicer green color and the leaves with the more yellow tint are also starting to look better. Giving no nutrients at all and trying to utilize the remaining nutrients in the top soil really does the trick. I'm going to select this post as answer so the topic can close. Thanks for thinking with me but indeed it is not easy for you guys if you don't know the whole growhistory.

They all started from a deep dark green because the soil was heavy on nutrients and i did not really need to feed. She looked like she was getting deficiency, i was thinking the soil was getting depleted so i started to build up feeding but she keeps getting more yellowish and drink less. Now i am thinking i'm just developing a nutriënt lock.

Hi, honestly, doesn't seems that there is a problem. Sometimes between same seeds, they can be a difference of the character's expression . That result with an unique plant., with unique characteristics.

If it starts on top then it is either calmag or micro nutrient issue. Hard to say which without knowing more info about your grow.

A darker lime green is ideal. Deep green is too much nitrogen. It could also be a ph issue coming on in substrate.
