Auto flower help

Hello I’ve got a 25 days old autoflower under budget lights and everything was going fine until 2-3 days ago when I noticed slowed growth and eventually yellowing off the bottom leaves and reddish stems. Seems like nitrogen deficiency but I’ve been feeding with organic nutrients every watering and even foliar sprayed nutrients to reverse it but it seems to getting worse. Anyone know what causes this and how to fix?

thank you

Why such a shallow container for it ?

Your growth is relative to your lighting , it needs more.
There is no lateral growth from the mid areas ( branching etc. ).

Those yellowed leaves are early leaf sets and are expendable over time anyways . You could remove them.

Give us an idea of your grow …..

Medium / soil
nutes
water source / ph
temps / rh
light cycle ( on / off )
etc.

im micro growing on purpose because I’m in a illegal country and I don’t want it to be too big and everything seemed to be going fine especially for these shitty lights until last feeding it started slowing down and quickly eating itself from beneath

Ok … got it about illegality.

The lack of sufficient lighting is the biggest stand out issue with your plant.
You will probably get “ some “ weed off of her at end but right now she is still growing and hasn’t looked like it showed sex yet.
Just try to do the best you can with it and run it as long as needed to flower completely.

thanks for your help man I really appreciate it. So you don’t think it’s any problem with the nitrogen deficiency because I’m afraid it will die before harvest at this rate because the leaves are yellowing really quick. I just noticed today that the leaves above the first leaves are starting to yellow and they were completely fine yesterday

PH unknown - dude that's not going to do you any favours. Even the cheap ebay yellow $5 pH pens are better than nothing.

In that limited container , plant will probably need a feed . Are there drain holes at bottom ?

She is showing sex and will transition to flower pretty soon.

do you think it can be a PH issue? I guess I will have to buy that or a PH pen

Yeah it could be. You really need a pH and EC meter. Spend as much as you can. Critical bit of kit. But those lower single leafs always go yellow and drop off, rest of the plant doesnt look too bad.

That yellowing is probably from moisture stress.

As the plant fills out the container the roots become more susceptible to moisture stress. So you can keep feeding it but if it’s drying out to much before watering the plant consumes the lowest leaves.

I think you’re right. I’ve raised humidity to 40-50% hopefully this solves it

thanks for the help everyone

Your growing in soil ? If so I wouldn't wory about ph too much as the microbes that break down the food your plants eat will bring it into range. You might be suffering from low light. If your light is not very good and insufficient your plant could start losing leaves lower down. The plant looks healthy otherwise. What kind of light are you using ?

Also you shouldn't really need to water every day if your in soil at that stage. If your in soil does it actually dry out daily ?

Yes I’m growing in soil so it can be thanks to the light as I’m using really crappy lights. First these Amazon “40w” lights and a AliExpress 5v light strip for extra reach. I’m planning on moving the plant to the balcony as soon as it gets a little warmer.
