my babies are 17 days old, i have 6 of em, n e ways i noticed that some of the bottome little leaves are turning yellow. and so are the cotyldons, i guess thats normal. i had them in jiffy peat pots n transplanted them yesterday into gallon size pots. i noticed a little yellow b4 i transplanted but nothing major, now its real visible.

i have not givin them nutes yet as they are alittle young yet. could it be a nitrogen def? the soil is a mix of top soil, peat moss, compost with vermiculite n perlite, some lime n ph down. its still at 7. is that ok? i dont know what else to do to get the ph down. i have watered them with purified RO mineral water, could that be the culprit?

i did add a tiny bit of lemon juice to balance out the ph of the water to about 6.5 give or take alittle..i also have well water that i have used, but i let it sit out for 24 hours, i dont think theres chlorine in it but who knows.

i have them on 18/6 right now and they adjusted well from 24/0. i have them under a 150w hps cuz i have a small closet.

so i would like some suggestions on maybe what would cause the yellowing to my babies?!?! also is it too early at 17 days old to give them light nutes with big bloom added to it?

PLZ help..im desperate as this is my first grow n i feel confident they will grow up to be nice young ladies but now a little set back here.. hope its not major..

Thankx Bunches....:lol:

Start adding a small amount of nutes. If the cotydons are yellow, then that was your first clue to add nutes.

Lift your pot and that will tell you. I like to let them get moist/dry, never dry. I water/feed every three days.
That 21/7/7 is very high in N. I dunno maybe a 1/8 of a tsp.
