nitrogen def starts from the bottom up

but i would think its a lil early for you to need nutes

i tend to lose my first fans to nitrogen def. most of the time and it has no effect on my final outcome.

I've allready nuted; slightly less than the package directions, I transplanted yesterday; so in thinking over fert but doesn't that start from new growth, should I retransplant at half strength, although the yellowing started before I started nuteing, just not as stong?

But they fall of this early? It's only 16 days, but on my other sets of fan they're growing two more on the same stem to make triplets; but not on the yellowing..so is it natural? Should I transplant with less nutes just incase?

Your fine man. The yellowing is a slight nitrogen defficiency. At 16 days, dont give it too much nutes. You should only be giving them about 25% of the recommended feedings until its another couple weeks old. If the nutes you gave it are your Veg nutes, it should get nitro out of that last feeding and start seeing those leaves green up soon.

sorry took so long to get back. you need to breath and let the plants breath. this is common... take it easy on the nutes. these leaves will almost always drop... immediatly 10 day 20 days, whatever. you are doing fine.

scratch that... just noticed you already transplanted. what size pot? the less times you do this the better. after roots are well established in germination/cloning chamberunder i go straight to 5 gals and under my multi kW lights.

Like 1 gal, and my fert is at 60% segjested; is that way to much? Or will my plant probibly be fine? So far she shows no signs of over fertilization, only under fert of N.

the yellow of those leaves is not a deficiency that you can repair. it is a biological process to shed those leaves. if you are not seeing any signs of burn (yellowing on tips) then you are fine. ignore those leafs. new ones are going to rapidly take their place and suck up the nutrients that those would be hoggin if they were still around. start at quarter strength and slowly move up. if you can afford it buy a tool that reads pH and ppm in your nutrient solution. these are very handy.
