light issue

so i was reading that too much light can bleach the leaves of my plant, lack of nitro can also have a similar effect. my plants started loosing the green color in the leaves so i added a low strength nute solution to water, i am guessing if the solution was too strong the roots would be the first to get burned but the roots seem to be just fine. so i am guessin my issue is too much light bleaching out the leaves.

should i remove some of the light or just move the light away from them ?

You're guessing. Stop it.

Describe the plants environment in detail. Age, size, medium, everytihing you can think of.

ok lets start over here,

my grow area is 15"w x 20"d x 24"h i currently have 2 70w bulbs in there wit 3 plants, the leaves of the plants start turning yellow over time as the leaves develop. the bulbs are about 8 inches over the plants. the plants are in rockwool which were soaked in 5.5ph water over night before the seeds where put into them and once the seeds sprouted they were put into netpots and placed into the reservoir *5.5ph* wit air stone. household vinegar was used to drop the ph. is the 2 70w bulbs bleaching the leaves and causin the yellow leaves ?

also if i use vinegar to lower the ph would the ph go back up over time ?

if there cfl lights what is the kelvin? and 8" isn`t too close so its hardly light bleaching, i`d be leaning toward the vinegar causeing a lock out or a def of something.. a pic would help...

so its not the wrong light or the bulbs being too close...

so has to be from something else, since you gave her the vinegar have you flushed? and give her a feed of n to get the green going again..

Let the pH raise up to 5.9-6.1 before adjusting it again, different nutrients are available at different pH scales. It could be a deficiency as others have said.

You still aren't giving enough info though.

We need a pic to go by, nutrients your using, additives your using... everything dude! You havent even told us at what stage the plant is, flowering, vegging, seedling???

Without the above all advise is worthless.
