The first 2 serrated leaves on each of my four plants are turning yellow..but new growth looks ok..What could this Be? It happened when I put them under my 250w dual spec when they was 8 days old..First thought it was heat related so I moved my light higher..but the leaves havnt got any better..but it hasn't spread to other leaves..really confused what it could be..I've got carbon filter/inline fan set up with 2 mini fans..the light is now on 400w because the plants are older an the temp average is 26-27c an humidity between 45-60%. The yellowing looks a little worse than what you can see in the last pic

Waaaay too much light for them lil plants bro...they seedlings... lower ur watts or raise em way up
cheers for the advice mate..I've raised the light up to 140cm which is right at top of my tent.. I only lowered it too 18inch because I've been told by that many people if it's too hot when you do the hand test then it's too hot for the plant..an I put my hand just above the canopy for 2mins an it wasn't the slightest bit hot so I thought it would be fine with them being 16 days old

Cheers mate I think your right..it's definatly not the heat so it's gotta be intensity.. I put them under 250w at 15inch when they was about 8 days old an that's when the first 2 true leaves started yellowing. Just altered it to 3ft so I'm gonna leave it like that till they get abit bigger..rather Be safe than sorry!
