For me, when the plant is this small and this is happening its due to me over watering a bit. I always try to remind myself to water to the plant size and not the container, but it could be a number of things.

I would let it dry out, then water sparingly and it should start to green up again.

Are you in pure coir? Are you feeding?

If you overwater it, then it starts yellowing from top to bottom.

If nitrogen deficiency, then from bottom to top.

You need cal-mag. :wink::ok_hand::sunglasses::v:

Did the plant lose its cotyledon quick?

Ps up close they havent dropped yet but are on their way

IMO what @Pigeonman said.

Thing is, overwatering can cause nitrogen lockout. That top also looks mad to me. You are correct in general though.

Hey @unclebobo welcome to Overgrow! That’s a really nice looking plant. There’s a lot of really helpful and extremely talented plant lovers here so no worries! What type of medium are you growing that plant in?

Your plant is going fairly well but for whatever reason it’s is pulling nitrogen from the bottom leaves. Not enough info given to really know the cause as there are many.

N is a mobile nutrient meaning the plant can move it from one part of the plant to another, where it’s needed. That’s why you see yellowing start at the older growth/bottom leaves.

Calcium is a non-mobile nutrient, so you will see the yellowing start in the new growth. That’s because the Cal is locked up in the plant tissue and can’t be moved to where it’s needed.

Can’t help without knowing what kind of medium and the environmental conditions otherwise it’s just a guess. pH could be off, low N, over watering, etc.

No big problem, you can fix by adding manure or raising Nitrogen in your nutrient solution, overwatering can also become troublesome in this stage inhibiting soil root colonization which will become an issue in flower as your nutrient uptake will always be limited by root volume and health. Happy growing

True, if pH is bad then it won’t have access to food, which will eventually cause slow grow and bunch of deficiencies.

Grateful for all the advice! After correcting nitrogen levels, managed pH, and avoided overwatering.The plant is back to full health without signs of stress. :pray:

I hope you gave it some nitrogen like pigeonman said…how are they looking now?

Let the medium virtually dry out before next feed and get RH up in 60+
