Am I Over watering

If you ask if you're over watering...you need a moisture probe until you are able to judge visually as well as by the weight of your pot..
Don't fertilize until your plant tells you it needs something...Often new growers have no idea what sort of nutes are in their initial mix (except for coco of course)..Likely be fine until flowering stage, when put in a proper sized pot.

Cheers

P.S. Google nutrient deficiency charts to get an idea if what to look for.. :)

What brand of potting mix? You can always order off Amazon, but the cheap ass pH meters are worthless. Better off with the drops. The Blue Lab is the shit, but expensive, and I haven't been able to get one yet since the soil pen is sold out at BlueLab, and I don't trust buying that on Amazon.

Add .5ml white vinegar to your nutrient mix for every gallon to lower your ph. Have it under 24/0. You’ll see that mf stretch !

He shouldn't be messing with the pH if he doesn't know what it is to begin with. White vinegar isn't a good solution anyways. And if you insist on using vinegar, at least use organic apple cider vinegar.

Vinegar isn't all bad. It does have nutes in it and will lower the solution temporarily. I have nothing against using organic apple cider vinegar, but don't expect it to do a lot to lower pH for long. I prefer citric acid if I want to lower my water pH, or an organic bottled nute.

Try to take a better pic for us, so we can see the true colors. Because those pics make the plants look yellow.
