First auto run - Watermelon Zkittlez Auto with viparspectra p1000. Week 3 into flowering. Are these natural yellow leaves? Do i need to do anything or just remove them? Thank you.

My guess is she was more N hungry. Could pull them off or leave them. Up to you! I personally defoliate. Welcome to RIU. If your new!

Yellow leaves=deficiency. You need to feed more.
Also, clear tube for water level guage is no Bueno.

I concur with the others. They look very hungry. If it was me i would pull the yellowing leaves as they no longer serve any purpose and block light. I dont know what medium youre using but a dose of recharge and/or a compost tea would probably help alot. Once you get em healthier use some bloom nutes. You should be fine though. Weed plants are amazingly resilient. Ive had photos before that went almost completely yellow in veg from lack of anything and still got em back with a little tlc. You got this. Good luck! Oh btw, purple stems look like could use some calmag. These autos seem to need it more, especially under led lights. Hey, keep us posted on progress. There are some good people here that can help ya alot. I still ask for help sometimes. A forum of minds is better than 1.

Yellow is never natural.there is no fall time or winter.you just dont have nutes or cant access them because bacteria is sleeping or ph is wrong

What method of growing are u doing? If you can inspect the roots and compare with the healthy plants.
Something looks off with that one

Just water did it? They looked starved. I dunno, i would at least feed her some bloom nutes and some cal-mag. I mean you can probably finish without adding, but your yield and quality will suffer alot. Whats your water ph? What kind of nutes you got on hand?

I mean in as much as it's natural to do that when your plant isn't happy and isn't being treated well...yes it's natural.

Your pH is very low. You want to be in the 6.3-6.5 range for soil.
Booooooommm.. There is your answer. You have nutrient lockout of calcium/ magnesium/ phosphorus/ potassium/ sulphur/ nitrogen.. you have to fix your PH asap. You want it to be bang on 6.5 since your in soil. Any nutrients you have given before with that PH of 5.6, is useless as the plants cannot uptake any of that good stuff. Again 6.5 is where u wanna go with it. Goodluck my bro..

Ph is too low. 6.5 in soil is a good sweet spot. And Rh could be higher but its the ph causing lock out i bet ya. Try adding some dolemite lime to your soil when you mix it up. Get you a ph up/down kit. When you add nutes to 5.6 ph soil itll drop the ph down around 5. No bueno in soil. I learned the hard way myself. Take care of ph and you got this.

Alot of people forget about the simple things. Lime and Epsom salts are both simple. 20+ years ago we always put a cup of lime and a fat pinch of Epsom salts in every 5 gallons of soil. Didnt really understand why then but the old timers said,"Do this". It works too.Fine dolomite Lime is my secret ingredient
