it looks a little over watered becus i watered yesterday and transplanted into fox farm ocean forest. i had it in fox farm light warrior. the bottom leaves started yellowing so i gave it some fox farm grow big 1/4 nute. now the next set of leaves are starting to turn yellow so not sure what i need to do..

That's a clone? If so I wouldn't worry about it. Cuttings sacrifice the nutrients in their lower leaves in order to produce roots. There is a good chance the plant has abandoned those couple lower leaves and will soon be severing their phloem and xylem (umbilical cords) which will cause them to die completely and fall off.

As long as the new leaves up top are looking good and green I wouldn't worry.

no this isnt a clone.

Prolly overwatering....what's your lift ur using? How far away the plants? How is the drainage in he pots?
im using 2 6500k cfl's. they are about 3-4 inches above the plant. i only water when the soil is dry. i had it in one of those red plastic cups with 5 holes at the bottom and 2 on each lower side.

stop with the nutes!!! she's tiny and fox farm ocean forest has plenty of nutes for a baby like that for a good couple weeks at least mate, just water.

Give it couple days to recover from the transplant, but unless your temps are extrewmbly jight u shouldn't be watering more than 1 maybe 2 times a week

well i just transplanted right when i took this pic. im expecting a little shock tmmr. but those bottom leaves started yellowing awhile back. i thought it was ca def so i put in some grow big nutes but the next set of leaves started to yellow a couple days later so i knew that didnt fix the problem. i usually water every 2 days.

every 2 days sounds to often for those little girls, under those little lights, unless your temps are like unreal hot in the high 90s with no air circulation 1-2 times a week at mo0st, let them dry out real well, when you pick up the cup, it should weight practically nothing, then get back to watering/feeding when needed

i have 3 fans blowing on them. then 1 exhaust and one intake so i think the air circulation is good. the temp is always around 83-87. all 5 CFL's i got are all 26watt.

Everything is looking good. I am currently using foxfarm soil as well and I didn't use any nutrients at all with my seedlings because people say on here a lot that foxfarm can be a "hot" soil for seedlings because of the nutrients already in the soil. FoxFarm has 30 days worth of nutrients for your plants and after that I would start using nutrients. I did it this way and I have yet to see ANY problems with my ladies at all. No nutrient burn or anything. My temps are simliar to yours and i am also using CFL's but two "big" ones, x2 85 watt CFLS. Like I said prior though looks like your doing a good job with everything else just don't worry about having to give them nutrients right now they will suck up all the pre-nutrients in the soil already for the next 30 days. + rep + sub

thanks for the support. I haven't fed them any nutes since 3 days ago. I only gave them 2 feedings so not alot but i think its starting to get a little burned. those bottom leaves are probably gonna die off....

Yea well its really hard to actually get nutrients that are put into your plants already out. So I would just watch out. I think everything will be fine though.
