That’s nothing serious. It might just be a mild reaction from your young plant to the first dose of nutrients. As long as the rest of the plant looks healthy, there’s no need to worry. Just keep an eye on it and monitor how it develops. Wishing you an amazing and successful grow!

Nute Deficiency or New Leaves?!Thoughts if this yellowing may be nute deficiency? Or are these just new leaves and I am concerned about nothing and I’m babying them since it’s my 1st grow? Both plants are about to be 2 weeks post sprout. Both are in 5 gallon fabric pots with layered soil (FFHF on top of FFOF)
