Sudden Leaf Yellowing – Lighting Issue or Something Else?

fathermichaelstarted grow question 2 days ago

Hello! Yesterday, I noticed the top leaves turning slightly yellow, but today it looks dramatic. Check the pictures—leaves are yellowing and drying out rapidly. It’s only affecting the central leaves, so I suspect a lighting issue, but I’d like to confirm before taking action.

Lighting Stress (Probability: 70%) Symptoms: - Leaves yellowing - Leaves curling up Resolve: - Adjust light height - Reduce light intensity if too strong Nutrient Deficiency (Probability: 20%) Symptoms: - Yellowing leaves - Poor growth Resolve: - Check nutrient levels - Fertilize with nitrogen-rich fertilizer

It looks like it is getting too warm and possibly a correct amount of water. Like it's getting too dry is a possibility. Go super easy on nitrogen. A flowering npk ratio is 1-2-3.

Am I overwatering these seedlings? (Coco Coir) Please help, Thank you :)These seedlings are about 3 weeks old in Coco coir. I PH the water to 5.8-6.2 everytime. I was watering every 1-2 days as the top soil dried out. Have I been overwatering? How much/often should I water them at this stage and should I wait for them to perk up before transplant?

Yellowing Leaves, Red Stems, Brown patches.pH is correct - run off ph, too. These are 2 out of 4 plants who show these signs. I gave less Flowering Nut in fear of giving too much Nitrogen. Cal/Mag is in use. Is it Phosphorus/Potassium def? I just flushed and gave BioFlores in recommended dosage again. Thoughts?

Bottom leaves yellowing at beginning of flower So my plants have been flowering for about a week now and the lower fan leaves are yellowing with brown spots. Should I be feeding them more of the flower girl I’m using or is this a deficiency of a specific nutrient? (following dr earth feeding schedule designed for cannabis)

Slow growth yellow leaf edges what to do?Plant growing slowly (but still growing) with weak growth tips and yellow edges on leaves with interveinal chlorosis. Looks like overwatering / magnesium deficiency to me. I use a weighing scale to know when to water, but started the plant in 25L pot so this might have caused it.

Overwatering?Can anyone confirm that this curling up is due to overwatering? I don't see any yellow leaves that would indicate overheating. But I read it could also be a nitrogen defeciency? One pic is upside down, I wasn't stoned taking the pic, honest 👀

Yellow parts on very young leaves She's only 2 weeks old and some leaves started yellowing. Should I be concerned or it's a normal thing? Watered her a few times with distilled water (no nutes). Also, there is about 30-40cm distance between the plant and the light (SF1000, put on ~50 power)
