What are you feeding them and how often?
Cheers mate will keep an eye on them! Just worried because this is the first time of planting!
Feed once a week with PHd water and bloom nutes, still mixing in a little seaweed fert. Also a little epsom salts, only started epsom salt 2 feeds ago. Now starting to turn this color. My light was a little low for a week there though I think! Could that be the discolouration?

If it's the plants right under the light, that can cause discolouration, but I would expect to see some signs of heat stress too.
I had a problem with Epsom salts when I used it for regular feeding. So I switched to using it as a foliar spray. 1/2 tsp to 1 tsp in a litre of water. Spray lightly once a week.
Did the discolouration start near the petiole, at the tip, or between the veins?

Oh
Cheers mate! That could be what Ive done. I was watering the epsom salt into the soil with EACH watering! The discolouration hasn't got any worse so I think Ive dodged a bullet/ kick up the ass! Will update in a week to let ya know how it is going!

They looked starved.. Don't spray plants in flower with anything.
Why do you think you need epsom? You using RO water? Or tap?
You got em in soil?
Still giving it a little N but how much do you suggest? 1/2 or 1/4 dose?

Save the epsom salts for soaking your feet. It's not unusual for leaves to yellow as flowering progresses, but your plant looks a bit stressed. You should continue to feed while in bloom up to the last couple waterings before harvest, but my recommendation is No More Salt!

It is unusual for that yellowing to start at the top of the plant. It's usually from the bottom as the plant scavenges mobile nutrients from the older leaves to feed the buds.
And all nutes are chemical salts (yes, even organic nutes, they're just in a less available form).
Cheers mate! No more salt it is!
I will give it a try. I've got seaweed fert here too! Let ya know how it goes!
