Third(snowryder) one is barely breaking ground. bottom right. The himalayan blue diesel have germinated but yet to break ground.

I really like that light set up! Good luck using that MG, some people love it, some people hate it, I used it and all my seedlings failed after 2 weeks, all user error. I've used Foxfarm Ocean Forest since and my babies are thriving.

gonna sub and check it out, good luck with your grow
 
From what I know and have read, if that is yellow, maybe bad angle of picture/lighting, I think it might be a lack of nitrogen if the plant is flowering. Try adding a nitrogen supplement to the soil and see if that changes the coloration, other-wise, keep us posted, I am glad to see first growers like myself taking control of their personal pot :)

Im not quite sure but the yellow on those leaves doesn't look to good, im not sure though, im new aswell
Yea am pretty sure its not good but am assuming their nute burns. They are on MG organic and am adding Dyna-gro nutes to it every other watering. i water every 3 days.

Most people say that the people that dont like the MG organic its because their not using it right but that most be the case with me. Am 90% sure i will get better results using FFOF.

Am sure its not the lighting because cfls are cool to the touch.

What nitrogen supplements do you reccomend me using?

Good job man, I like your light fixture. Make sure that is potting soil not garden soil. I ask cause I dont see much perlite. Good luck

This link has a small little bit of info at the bottom of the page that refers to the ratio, I do warn you as much as it says, it is only temporary for the boost.
Try to look for a constant supply, try asking a more vet member, but that is my 2 cents :D
Thanks for your help. i got a small soda bottle and added just a bit of coffee grounds to it. we will see if it works i will keep you guys posted.
