yellowing around edges of leaves, problem or paranoia

[jo2489]

plants are two weeks into veg. no nutes as ive heard the plants are too young. potted in earthgro potting soil. growing under cfl bulbs. watered as needed (finger knuckle deep method) im conerned if this is a potential problem or normal. i have heard that nats may be a pontential cause of yellowing and have seen one or two on the plants, however not recently nor have i noticed larvae in the soil. could this simply be lack of watering or over watering? any advice is greatly appreciated. this is a first for me and when i saw yellow i assumed...problem

better off watering by the weight of the pot
your soil looks to have a bit of clay in it and appears really dense the top half is probably dry and the bottom is soaked and hard as a rock
imo you are in early stages of a over watering issue

is there a way i can aerate the soil or loosen it up without damaging the roots?

water seemed to run off pretty well or drain rather

Once you have mastered the art of the flush! ...look to applying some perlite to that soil ...lucky you for not nuting ...lol

The yellows very slight, save them now before its too late , there's still time, all is not lost........

roots dont like growing into wet soil .... problems like nute lock outs also arise
cannabis as a plant in general likes dry periods and loose almost arid soil
if you fill a pot up with your dry soil then pick it up ,and then the one with a plant in it if there is a noticeable weight difference then you are over watering at this point ,
when it gets larger you can soak it
