Hey, buddy. Don't worry, the young leaves are lighter in colour than the fully formed leaves.
Your plant looks very healthy to me.

looks ok to me right now younger leafs can be a lighter color they will change when they get bigger / get more sunlight..
if they are yellowing even more try to boost nitrogen levels... but to me looks like she wants some more light =)

The lower leaves of some plants are yellow, then die. I'm very light with nutrients, there is no bugs into the grow room, what can it be ? pH between 6 and 7, lower it with few drops of lemon juice but bought a 3aciddown bottle.
And are the buds supposed to be that big already ?Week 5

Fine-Tuning Nitrogen Understanding (Deficiency or Toxicity) -- Suspected deficiency, so how do I adjust Fox Farm nutes? Increase ALL 3 nutes to 3/4 dose?Initial inter-vein yellowing, followed by whole leaf yellowing. Minor leaf stem reddening. Older growth. Normal for flower stage (I believe), but too early for normal and rapid discoloration (week 6). This makes me believe it's a nitrogen deficiency, amplified by SLIGHT overwaterLeaves. Color - Yellow

Top leaves are yellowing in flowering-Is this Nutrient deficiency or excess or lock out?I am growing 3 Auto's.
One of the plants seems to be much more affected than the other one.
near harvest/Cloudy Trichomes no amber
I just gave them all a feed with the recommended Fox farm nutrients which is twice the concentration they normally get.
Any ideas?Leaves. Color - Yellow

IMPORTANT excess/deficiency? What's happening? Flowering is in dangerWhat's happening here? I think it could be Fe deficiency, Mn deficiency, S deficiency or maybe K excess. But I'm not sure about diagnostic and I think I can have more than one problem. Please help, I don't know how to solve it and I see how flowering is very slow and weakLeaves. Color - Yellow

Yellowing LeavesI'm concerned my plant may be prematurely yellowing. I've added Cal-Mag to see if that would help with the yellowing of leaves, but the issue persists. Yellow leaves are moving progressively higher up the plant, but my other strain is not presenting same problem. (See Post)Week 18

Yellowing on lower leaves. Any idea what this is?Don't think they should be deficient in anything yet, they're in new Ocean Forest soil and only on day 11 of veg, no way they used up what's in the soil yet.
