its just that some new growth looks kinda pale some times.

add some dolomite lime around the base of the plant at the stem this will correct the PH other than that the plant looks good.

if it gets worse post a pic. :joint:

Im no nute expert but id say its definitely not an N deff imo,

Large swings in Day night temps and or cold nights can cause lime green tops / new growth, more info would help though.

Don't ya just hate ten thousand opinions ??

If it was mine I would up the nutrients slightly. You have a small N deficiency. Make sure your PH is correct.

If it was juts the top growth I would agree its normal but the yallowing is on lower leaves as well.

Up your feeding a little. Go slow and watch for reaction over several days. If it continues to get worst. Flush with PH corrected water and re-feed.

It is not on the big fan leaves at all,only started on the new internodes,I will observe her for a few days and if she doesnt get better then ill flush her,btw what ph of the water should be.because the ph of the dirt was around 6,5 and i try to make my water around 6,5 - 6,3 and water it with that is it ok?

Yeah, I would say it's time ta start feeding and paying close attention to how they respond. Most good bag soils will need ta be fed after 3-4 weeks........ It wouldn't do ya much good ta flush the soil, yuv only feed em a half dose of grow nutes, so there's not gonna be any build up, and nothing ta flush. It would stress the plants fer nothin....... Btw, if yer using good soil that's been made with compost or worm castings that soil has humates in it. Humates buffer the plant from the PH of yer water and nutes ( among -many- other things ). This is how organics work, it's natures way of lookin out for itself. So there's no need ta be so anal about the PH of yer water. I haven't PHed anything fer years, and I use water right out of the tap. Those with outside vegatable gardens, do you PH yer water when you turn the hose on to water? lol....... If there's any doubt about it, do a search on "Organics for beginners" or "Organics and PH"...... Anyhoo, good luck! BC

i measurte my ph with a simple aquarium test and try to lower it around 6,5 because i read that its the best for the plants,i dont know,but i can tell for sure that they arnt growing like our landraces here,that plants are indestructible,it doesnt matter in which soil they are,what oh of the water is,just gicve them food and they will grow,but not the most potent,but that s the way it is,right...?

:yeahthats

Plants look fine; often new growth is lighter in color. It's probably just time to start feeding more.

my immediate reaction to the pics is that it is a micro nutrient def because it is happening to your new growth. definitely not a N problem. kinda looks like a sulfur def but that is pretty rare. can use epsom salts or any fert that has S to correct that. i would just start feeding her a full dose of food from here on out - make sure it has all the micro nutes in it and i think you will be all right. it should start to clear up soon. if i gets worse post some more pics. i know what people are talking about when they say new growth looks lime green, but it doesn't look like that to me. good luck.
