Hunger maybe?

Some young plants started to get lower leaves looking pale. End up going yellow then looking burnt or as if its eaten itself I guess. The ph pen I checked and it was slightly out. Calibrated it and so that's correct now. They was being feed an ec of 1 have since increased that to 1.1. Highest I should go in veg should be 1.2 right? Top leaves all look fine to me and a decent shade of green. IMG_20200728_201640.jpg

Feed strength really depends on what the plant is telling you, but generally speaking, 1.2 EC should be fine in veg.

That looks like an awfully small container for that size plant - perhaps you are seeing some issues related to it becoming root bound.

Good Luck!

Thanks for the reply. Going to pot them up tomorrow into bigger pots. Should have done it sooner tbh but been waiting on the pots to get free. Currently being used but those plants have shown their sex now.

Would you say the photo is showing a plant that's hungry? Top leaves to me look okay but bottom leaves go pale before turning yellow. Mate had a look and just said they are hungry and to up the feed.

It is hungry mate but its not from a lack of nutes. Needs a bigger pot and looks like ph is a little off.
What's in the pot, soil or coco?

All of them are being potted up, done 3 today just waiting on the other 3 to get bit lighter but that'll be when lights come back on for sure. Have upped the feed to 1.2ec and also your right the pen had been a little off. Have since calibrated it and just gonna do that every week so I don't get any fuck ups.
