Yellow leaves

I'm guessing this is nothing, I have seen something similar, especially with clones. In Ocean Forest. I think maybe sometimes as the clones get going with new leaf growth it 'steals' from the original leaves. I have given a half or less dose of Grow Big a few days ago, no difference. New growth looks fine to me. In the past I've noticed whe I may have fed a little TOO much grow big to a young clones, any burn manifests on the big original fan leaves and not the new ones

Looks P and K deficient, feed it about 650 ppms of the nute add in some microbes
feed water water feed.

dont have a ppm meter ....get one. You really need to know what ppm your feeding at or your just guessing and thats why it looks the way it does for the most part. and add microbes.

So use more Big Grow? Don't have a PPM meter, I just have always started light on nutes at first especially for babies, and then tend to feed half dose more often versus blasting full dose once or twice a week

Yes light on the babies but you dont have a baby anymore your probably under feeding it and a ppm meter will tell you what your feeding it. The soil will buffer it and that plant can handle a 650 ppm feeding, better than guessing at it. I guess since your posting on here and asking about it you want to do better a ppm meter is going to help you alot...to be consistent.

No.. you dont need a ppm meter but you do need to know how to read a plant and you need to have some sort of idea of how much your feeding it ..experience ..if your new at this maybe your not idk. And your plant is telling you its under fed and you should add microbes to that soil ...plants dont grow without microbes in the soil very well. Im sure you have some microbes but the more the merrier. maybe top dress some worm castings on it and water it in.

some plants are heavy feeders and if its in the sun.... it needs nutes to support that growth and microbes to break down all that ocean forest crap. I dont care for ocean forest too much theres better soil out there.

Picked up some Kelp Help today at the local hydro store. Never tired microbes before,. we'll see what this does. The 3 prong leaf Fire OG is still stunted with those odd leaves, Blue Dream no problems. My Tacquitz and Lemongrass clones are just slow, they have new growth and look healthy, except the leaves are so tiny. Described all this to the clerk, who told me PH isn't the issue, and out local water is between 6 - 6.5. Said sounds like stress and this should help.

I've grown 4-5 years in a row without having this issue, my clones took off and vegged fast and well. Only difference is I let them sit under the plant tube lights and get indirect sun a few week. This time indirect sun to direct sun in stages, not burn or anything. Been 4 years since my last grow so just getting back into the swing of things
