I have a autoflower gmo cookie that is 4 weeks old right now. I use Foxfarm ocean forest warrior for the soil. Ph level is around 6.7ish. Ever things been good until probably 1 week ago and the bottom leaves started turning yellow and its slowly been progressing upwards. Anything will help.

I bet you're about week four or close to that.

It's an easy guess as to what's going on, but I don't like when people guess at things.

Let us know more about your setup like @Gentlemencorpse said, and also include whether you're indoor or out, temperature and humidity of your grow area, and whether you have a pH meter or not, or a PPM or EC meter or not. If you have either one or both of those meters, we'll need to know what their readings are.

Pics would help. Also.more details about your setup ... lights, medium, nutes etc

I'm not very educated on growing very much but I use soil currently no nutes I'm going out tomorrow to buy some (if you have any suggestions...) I have a ph meter and measure my water at around 6-6.7 ph level temp 78-88 F humidity runs around 55%. My light is a VIPARSPECTRA 300w LED (I know it's not the bestest of lights but it's just a starter). I dont know if this matters much but it's in a 3 gallon pot. I hope this helps.Resized_20200709_193532.jpgResized_20200709_193521.jpgResized_20200709_193542.jpg

could you expand on what you think it may be?
 
The plant looks healthy in my opinion and leaves do die and turn different colors over time. This looks like one of the baby leaves so I really wouldnt worry, like I mentioned they look healthy. Most people freak out and start to add all types of things and could easily make it worse:D

If those leaves aren't getting light, the plant will stop focusing on them. N deficiency is possible too if it starts progressing more upwards.
Either way, those leaves are sinks now and probably aren't benefiting the plant at all. I'd snip em.

I agree that the plant generally looks healthy and the yellowing only affects the first couple sets of true leaves that can be expected to die off eventually, similarly to the cotyledons.

However, at four weeks old, don’t you think a fairly diluted solution of nitrogen fertilizer would be helpful at this stage?

At this stage the plant should be getting some food already but I didn't mention any "N" due to the nice dark colors of the upper leaves bringing me to the idea they are probably just baby leaves ready to die.

Your plant looks perfectly healthy to me. Those yellowing leaves just look like they are in full shade. They should just almost fall off when you touch them and than you can forget they were ever there. As a coco grower I will leave the feeding advise for someone with more experience than I.
