First time grow.. need help and tips. Plants are turning lime green

Hello Everyone,

I've been on the forum for awhile now, and since I live in California now; I started my first indoor grow. Right now I bought 4 clones and I'm starting one from seed. But I will end up getting more clones. The plants are lime green/yellow? Is this some type of deficiency? I have not transplanted the clones in different pots yet. They are still in there coco based mix soil from the dispensary I got them from. Also, I recently gave them some botanicare pure blend pro grow. Thinking it was a Mn deficiency or something.

Specs:
  • 5x5 Gorilla grow tent
  • 1000w/600w/400w digital dimmable ballast
  • LG 8,000 BTU AC
  • 8" Blockbuster Sun System Hood
  • 200 cfm air filter with 4" inline fan
  • 8" inline fan to cool the hood
  • 1000w GE metal halide bulb
Grow Regimen:
Clones:
  • coco based soilmix
Seed:
  • North County Bounty soil 420 blend

Here is a picture of them

Dude, you're perfectly fine. When I first started growing I freaked out over every little thing.. Not really necessary unless major lol. They look like they need a little amount of Nitrogen, but nothing really to trip over.

Feed them if you would like to help get some darker leaves, but if you choose to do this then feed VERY lightly. Probably 1/4 the amount your feeding schedule says... But if it were me, i'd just wait til the leaves are like yellow or close to then feed just to make sure you don't burn em. maybe transplant if you think they are ready. If transplanting to pretty nutrient rich soil that should probably fix the N deficiency.

Best of luck

The soil is no good for growing in pots and the ph is out causing these major def. It might work ok outside in holes but not in pots. Dont re pot yet they are not ready just start feeding with good quality veg hydro nutes and hope that gets them going so you can then repot into high quality coco for indoor use eg-

Much appreciated guys. I'll just feed them RO water for another week or 2 before I transplant. How is Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Grow for a hydro nuts? Also do you guys know a good coco based soil regimen?
Thanks again guys, I feel better about the plants.

With coco you need the keep your ph a little lower than soil. stay as close to 6.4 as possible. also If you dont want to feed them nitro you could give them some iron. I had some looking a bit yellow and threw metal shavings in some water and let it rust then mixed a teaspoon of the rusty water with fresh water shook it up to give it some o2 and it was green green in two days>Thats my mickgyvorism for the day.
