Yellowing leaves…help!

I turned the light down to 75% and raised it to 8 inches. Should the yellowing go away if I corrected the problem, or are those leaves going to die? And what’s with the purple coming out in the top leaves?

Usually the old, damaged parts don't repair themselves. However you're going to be fine. This is what we are all obsessing about. Each run is how do we do better. Cannabis is humbling and the longer you grow ;D I think it might have something to do with smoking our harvests :lol: I've been growing for a minute and every run I see where I could do better assuming it's one of the rare runs I haven't, by neglect, turned it into a shitshow :eyesmoke:

Right on. Do u think watering too much might be an issue? I always struggle with that towards the end. I’ve been doing every other day with 7 gallon fabric pots. I feel like if I wait two days to water, the leaves start to droop.. so I don’t know if I’m watering too much or not.

Your plants have pronounced their judgment upon it. It doesn't need to be accurate as long as it is consistent.

Exactly. I've been using the light meter part of one of those 3 way combo ph, moisture and light meters. 9 bucks at Amazon. I saw that I have wall to wall, corner to corner coverage with one dead spot. Moved the lights a little no dead spot and according to my cheapo meter I'm around 1000 ppd or whatever all over.

Well I finally figured out the main problems I’m having. For one, my light was way too close, it’s at about 13 inches now, and I just did a ph test on my watering with all the nutrients in it and it was down in the 4 or 5 ph range. Lucky I have some good ol ph adjuster. Got it back up to around 7 to give the soil a little offset. Watered and tested the runoff at 6.5 so hopefully that was the culprit on my leaves yellowing. Explains why my last grow failed. I never checked ph or had any adjuster. Learning more with every grow! Thanks everyone for the help!
