How yellow is too yellow?

Ok so this is my second grow, screwed up my first by over watering/fertilizing. Now I'm trying to hold off on feeding as much as possible, less is more as they say.. NL5 in FFOF about a week and a half from seed under 4 6500k CFLs



Both first and second set of true leaves are a little yellow/less darker than the lower branching. I feel like I should just leave it alone which I've been doing, just plain distilled water from seed but would like a few second opinions. I have the FF soil nute pack and some Botonicare Calmag plus. Is this normal, or should I start with Grow Big next watering?

New growth is always lighter

Ok, I'm thinking I should hold off until some deficiency shows, so how yellow should I let it get?

that's not yellow, but a lighter shade of green, which is how all normal, new growth comes in ime..

ffof i'd let them go at least about 3 weeks or so before even feeding them, then simply start off small with the dose of nutrients you give them.. a little bit goes a long way..
what kind of nutrients do you have?

Thanks, the NL is from peekseeds and apparently vegges pretty quickly so I may be able to get away no nutes until flower, we'll see. I was looking for the simplest nutes I could find and wound up getting the FF soil trio because of good reviews and simple feeding schedule, although their feeding schedule seems a bit much, it comes with Big Bloom which I guess is like an organic tea they say to use every watering from seed to harvest. I don't think it's necessary, FFOF and distilled seem to be good enough so far, think it's safe to start using the Bloom tea?

Your good, like the other dude said new growth is always a little lighter.
