Hey, seem to have a problem with my plant, its been growing kinda slow(about a month if not longer, only about 1foot)and it has yellow patches on leafs?i water it once a day,and am using fluorescent lights(i know not that good) and have a fan constantly blowing on it. any help as to why leafs are yellowing would be great.


(dont have any ph testers yet)
also was using miracle grow at 1point but stopped incase it was the problem.

looks like nute burn or nute lock , so just flush your soil and then give it time to recover and then go a quarter strength because it says half tsp per gal for with a quarter tsp per gal and then you good to go bro good luck, and try transplanting to a bigger pot because you roots might be bound as well also lower you light because your plant is stretching

bro a pH tester is essential.

I'm willing to bet that an off-range pH is causing certain micronutrients to be locked out.

The first picture looks like a burn.Flush the plants and get rid of any salt build up.The plant will be left to dry after flushing with water ph of 5.0/5.5.You are watering far too often bro.You should be soaking the plant through then allowing it to dry and then repeating the process.By watering every day the plant has no need to search out food when you feeding it all the time.By feeding the plant will not have no where near has good a root system has the plant that is watered then left to dry b4 re watering.

ya look like def nute burn or ph lockout to me. if the leaves feel kinda crispy than its nute burn. also a ph tester is essential when using ferts. there only like 10 bucks. your gunna want to flush thoroughly and then wait until it dries out. also how ofter do you water and fertilize. you should only water when the top 2 or so inches of soil is dry. and also its better to you less fert in the mix a little more often just to be on the safe side.

Yeah, just pour pH'd water; about 2 to 3 times the volume of your pot. Do it slowly if you're worried about drowning, but your pot should have holes underneath so I wouldn't worry. Keep pouring until the runoff comes out colorless, and test the runoff water along the way.
