Keep losing my older leafs, yellowing?HELP

looks like a combination of lack of nutrients...possible nutrient splash when watering...possible rootbound in the pot...and probably lack of light to the lower vegetation :)

is the plant kinda lime colored or are your leave a nice deep green? Also what are you using for lighting and how often are you watering?

I'm just going to be grasping at straws trying to help you unless you detail out quite a bit more of what you've got going on for growing environment...

temp is 70-75 at nigh and when light is on temp is at 76-85

fertilized with Alaskan fertilizer 511 every watering at half strength

Soil is Kellogs soil.

water every 4-5 days

did add a 1-10-1 bat poop at last feeding at 1/2 strength too, but with same results
Bingo! theres the problem not enough N and too much P in turn locking out more N.
Get some standard hydro nutes for veg and use it every watering, that should stop the the leaf drop/yellowing but leaves that are brown will not recover.

Yah but he says he has alaska fish fertilizer which he waters with every 5 days, the bottle recommends the dosage for 25 feet sqared of soil every 2 weeks plus its a 10-1-1 fert too I believe.

But yes, get some 2 or 3 part hydro nutrients series; thats what I did

that does look quite bad, first off, trim all that dead shit off, it is not helping .. and with all the dead leaves out of the way, will be easer to see weather old growth or the newest growth is growing good or bad

as massah said, it looks pretty lime green indicating lack of nitrogen, but being pretty small to, how old is this plant ?
it would be interesting to know how long it has taken it to go light green as i think over-watering is a possibility too
those bottom leaves are dead totally , they look burnt by fertilizer

i really do not know what is best here, maybe trimming her back to her best growth, and re-pot her in some fresh soil
and double check everything including the environment , although your temps seem ok 85 is a bit high, but not high enough to cause the damage you have imo
i guess you could wait it out and hope she picks up,
a plant so small needs hardly any nutes,
in hydo plants can grow much bigger than that on water alone with no signs of illness
i think you need a spell of good luck

It actually shows two shades of green, while the older is pale the newer is dark, pretty cool. Anyways I Think you've got a nutrient unbalance with Mn, Mg, Ca and P messing around the plant. Best way to tell your plant is sick is the immediate droopiness, the crispy patches give away a hint of burn so does the spotting for Mn def. Best way to treat would be giving her a superthrive flush, making sure you get rid of the excessive salts you've got built up, don't let to much time happen and give then feed them with some blood meal it's a dry, inert powder made from blood used as a high-nitrogen fertilizer and a high protein animal feed. N = 13.25%, P = 1.0%, K = 0.6%. It is one of the highest non-synthetic sources of nitrogen. Blood meal is completely soluble and can be mixed with water to be used as a liquid fertilizer

I water with 1/2 tsp of fish to 1 gallon of water last feed with 1-10-1, bat poop.

I watered first time 2 weeks ago at 1 tsp per gallon, and it burned the plants, but they grew faster, and greened up.

Just came back from my local hydro store and got the fox farm line up.Thought this will be good for a noob like me to start with.Picture 506.jpg

It says to fertilize every week indoors?There in 5 gallon buckets too.
