Normal yellowing or deficiency

Auto amnesia, 5 weeks from seedling in a 3 gallon pot. Organic soil feeding fox farm big bloom.

Here she is almost a week ago dark green and no sign of a nitrogen deficiency.

Today, the first 3 sets of leaves all shriveled which I've read is normal, but here is the 4th set about to waste away.

She was a little droopy from holding off too long on watering, but other than those leaves, nice even green color. Is there anything to worry about?

Why did you show a nice 1st picture with good natural color and then post those lousy follow up pictures to be compared.

Good point. I can tell you that other than the yellowing leaves at the bottom the color has stayed the same.

Some yellowing at the bottom is normal. The rest of the plant is such a dark green color I would wait and see if it continues to yellow before doing anything. If it changes take some more pics. Green Ones ;)

its not normal. you're over feeding, plants are N toxic and ill watered.
5 week old seedlings dont need bottled nutrients.
vegging 5 week old plants dont need Bloom formula.
you need these - http://catnews.org/FREE Pot Books/
to learn proper feeding and watering habits.
A) feel the weight of your dry pot of soil,
B) your 3 gallon pot needs exactly 1.75 gallons of water added all at once.
feel the weight again.
when the weight feels like A go to B.
if you do

Im not an auto guy, but it seems a bit early for bloom feedings. The rate it seems your plant is yellowing isnt normal.
Lots of times newer growers try to blast em with bloom nutes right when they show sex only to yellow out very prematurely and the quality & yield suffers. In a nutshell, I'd recommend sticking closer to a 1:1:1 feed . Its often easier to overfeed than to underfeed nutrients.
Heres some info that may help you "read" your plants: When your tips are curled down known as "clawing" and the leaf color is dark green to almost blue-ish looking they are Nitrogen toxic (as mentioned above).

1.75 gallons? I water much less than that. This auto finishes in 10 weeks, you still consider it a seedling at 5 weeks? I also haven't seen any clawing and have read that fox farm big bloom isn't a proper bloom nutrient and many use it as a tea.

Thanks for the input guys.

Ok, so after looking closer I see what I thought was clawing on multiple leaves may just be them folded from other leaves they are touching. There is however signs of overfeed with the crusty burnt tips throughout and the foliage color being dark. Both signs of too much N.
0.01-0.3-0.7 is a bloom nute. Its ratios are high on the P-K side designed specifically so for fruiting/flowering plants. I dont know anything about using it as a tea though.
How long have you been feeding it with bloom nutes? Im fairly certain thats why you are going yellow.

There are no crusty or burned leaves anywhere, must be the crappy photos. All that's wrong as far as I can tell is the bottom few leaves dying and dark green color.

It's an advanced seeds automatic amnesia. I'll break out the dslr and get a natural light photo. I really appreciate all the feedback!

I can see burnt leaf tips on a good majority of the leaves pictured.

image.jpg Hi folks, glad to find yall on the subject. I’ve got an auto compassion lime in soil between week 7 and 8. 11 weeks is what I expect from her. Once I saw preflowering I began pk bloom at 1/4 and slowly increased to 1/2 the stated dosage. Bottom leaves are turning bright green and then yellow. I cut 4off this morning, I expected leaves to turn yellow as she is close to harvest time, isn’t a month a bit too early? She’s got nice buds growing and I’m worried the yellowing will reach the buds.
