Hey Growmie,
From the looks of that new growth turning yellow (starting at the tips and spreading), it seems like you're dealing with a nutrient issue, but not from underfeeding, more likely over-fertilization or a pH imbalance causing nutrient lockout.
What’s likely going on:
Nutrient Burn: The fact that it got worse after upping the feed is a strong sign you're overfeeding. Burn usually starts at the tips and creeps inward.
pH Lockout: If your pH is off (especially too high), your plant can’t absorb key micronutrients like iron or zinc , even if they're present.
Iron Deficiency Symptoms: Yellowing new leaves with green veins is classic, and again, often caused by pH issues, not a lack of iron itself.
What you should do:
Flush with clean, pH-balanced water (6.0–6.5 if you’re in soil) to clear out excess salts.
Check your runoff pH if it’s out of range, that’s probably the root cause.
Ease off the nutes for a few days and monitor. Next feed, go with 1/4 to 1/2 strength max.
Make sure your temps and airflow are on point. Environmental stress can make it worse.You’re doing the right thing by observing and adjusting, just gotta dial it in. Keep a close eye on the new growth over the next few days; it’ll tell you if you're back on track.
Happy growing!
