Light green new growths

Sesc14started grow question 5 years ago
Any ideas why the 1 plant on the left and one on the right are getting the light green new growths. They’re a bit slower growing than the other but still seem healthy and not stunted. Same environment, same feed schedule. I was thinking iron deficiency but with cal mag no diff.

Sorry for beeing basic but every new groth are clearer , they are becoming darker with the age . Take a look at your plants to understand that i'ts always like that , the new leaves are light green untill they are fully formed and dark then the new growth above them is clarer

It is completely normal for the new growth to be a little lighter. Your has such a big difference in color because your older leaves have a slight excess in nitrogen. They are pretty dark. I would back off the nitrogen a little. Other than that looks like you have some healthy plants about to set up for flower. Good luck!

hi @Sesc14 , your plants are looking great. a little bit loaded with nitrogen but it doesn't seem to be a deficiency, it seems to be a healthy green. sprouts when growing tend to lighten in color but it is normal and a sign that your plant is growing well. good luck mate 👍

@Sesc14 hi mate I hope you are well The lighter new growth is called chlorosis . The chlorosis symptoms show up on new growth because the older growth has already established its chlorophyll content. When the plant attempts to produce new leaves, there is not enough iron available for the plant to create a healthy green leaf.
