its around 3 weeks old, im not sure. im using miracle grow potting mix with a high nitrogen number. im watering it once a day and i had been using a product called superthrive(its got plant hormones and vitamins in it) diluted in the water everyday, but since the yellowing leaves i thought that might be the cause so i decided to cut the superthive watering to every other day and water with just water the other days, but i just started that today.
and the shed its in stays about 92 degrees. and im using a regular grow light.

first of all what is a regular grow light? second your shed is too hot and third...dont nute them yet...they are too little and the mg soil already has plenty of nutes in it for now...give em a flush and two more weeks before the superthrive again. should be good from there...but get your temps down if possible

does it say if it is a metal halide or a high pressure sodium light? the temp you wanna shoot for is mid to upper 70's but my growroom can at times get to mid 80's...it's never for more than 3 hours though

metal halide. i couldn't find sodium bulbs at the stores in my town, that's what i looked for.

MH will work for veg and will work for flower too...but you wont get the big buds without HPS. do you have a way to order a hps online? it is well worth it

it will make a huge difference...if you dont have the cash the mh will work but when you can get yourself at least a 400 watt hps
