Hi people on my first grow, over 2 months into veg and have started noticing the leaves going a light green with a hint of yellow(pics below) it started from the bottom and is slowly working it’s way up with 2 of the lowest fan leaves have fully dried and wrinkled out and turned a amber colour. Have searched the internet but can’t exactly tell the issue hopefully the pros have some advice for me any help will be much appreciated, thanks in advance

What's your feeding schedule?
Do you give it plain water?
Do you allow the coco to dry?
What pH are you using?

Nitrogen deficiency. Is my guess....feed her. I like to water my girls before I feed them. Usually after watering I wait 2 hrs or so then give nutes.

Make sure you ph isn't too acidic either. Much easier to affect the plant when the roots aren't happy to begin with my friend

or alkaline I meant to add..aim for 6.5-6.8.... research your plant and see what she likes from others who have grown your strain....one of nine are happier at 5.5-5.8....when I had it at 6.8..

I water every 2-3 days feed once a week using baby bio in 1/4 strength(cheap but heard it’s effective for veg) I make sure ph is always 5.7 to 5.9 aim for 5.8, I do water till run off but maybe 10% will post a pic of full plant now

I'm growing caramelicious in 80% coco 30%vermiculite. This plant is thriving at a current 5.8 ph. Again, know the plant your growing. Coco has no nutes or anything added to it at all so everything comes from you. What's your advice? I'm curious, as im newer to using the coco perl mix....I usually like to run happy frog with pro mix and vermiculite.

She’s in a 3 gallon pot will be transplanting before I flip to flower, I just don’t want to of wasted 2+ months for her to die. Any feedback on baby bio for vegging? Heard people saying it’s okay then some saying the nitrogen is too high NPK is(10.6 - 4.4 - 1.7) don’t know what to believe I have been using very small doses at 1/4 because I’m scared of over feeding

You never give plain water in coco.
Coco should be fed daily to run off and should never be allowed to dry.
