Is this common?

I’m 3 weeks in to veg and noticed this today, not sure what to make of it.. any ideas?

The top leafs are coming up much lighter.

.. I'm pretty sure I've seen that before, it's often called new growth! Your plants look good! Maybe time to consider starting light nutrient feedings? Good luck!

Thanks, totally newbie here! Lol

I was worried it’s light burn, i moved my LED’s and CFL up some just now.

As for nutrients I’ve started Fox farms trio at half strength.

New Growth is always a lighter green. Half strength? What kind of soil are you in?

I'd be careful with the nutrients.
FF Big Bloom is the safest to use now.
Grow Big - Be careful, if you do not need nitrogen yet (The N in NPK) it can cause an overdose of N.
Tiger Bloom- This is used in flower not in Veg.
Less is more with soil.

growweedeasy.com is a good free resource.

These are good books to have:
Marijuana Horticulture: The Indoor/Outdoor Medical Grower's Bible
or
Marijuana Grower's Handbook by Ed Rosenthal

Should have clarified, currently using big bloom and grow big at half strength twice a week.

I personally don't feed anything for the first few weeks, and if your seedlings are getting a ton of N they may get dark making the new growth contrast with the old even more. They don't look overly nitrogenated to me though in the pics but I just wanted to second the word of caution about going with nutes too early. I focus more on supporting root growth at this stage, but again - those plants look great so all I'm saying is watch closely.

I’ll keep a close eye, thank you.

Home made super soil.

If you're in super soil you should not have to feed this early.

Here’s an update: just moved them to 6 gal smart pots. The smaller one had its starter leafs suck in the seed shell so it’s a little behind but it’s coming along.
