New leaves are too light in colour

Jakedstarted grow question 17h ago

New leaves are too light in colour. I just switch 12/12 3 days ago, increased the nutrients a little from 500 to 560 ppm. Light is on 800 PPFD. Last runoff was 620 ppm. I also defoliate her. What should be a problem?

Just go for a pH value of 6.5, which is perfect for you. It will settle down in the next few days. She cannot absorb the nutrients that are present.

Small yellow/brown spots. Rest of plant looks fine. 5 days into Veg About 5 days into veg. 7 gal smart pots. RO water. No Nutes in the water so far. When transplanted I added a teaspoon of root microbes. Everything looks good and the green looks lively. Issue is there are few and subtle yellow spots. Not crowding. 1 or two on random plants.
