Yellowing/edges folding under

Alright where do I start.Well, This bagseed was from some pretty nice stuff.It's been growing now probably for about a month and say 2-3 weeks give or take..Everything was very progressive up until about 5 days ago..I started to notice some yellowing progressing from the apex out moving towards the tips..I also noticed that new growth is almost see-through as opposed to the darker well establised fan leaves.Completely yellowish green.some blades on the large fan leaves are basically cupping under..Not the whole leaf but the saw-tooth edges..also on the terminal bud..

I can't really give pinpoint statistics as far as humidity,run-off ph,temp etc go because I'm in the process of moving and I didn't bust everything out..soil ph is about 6.8-7.0 though..
This plant was started in a solo cup then potted up once..Under a 40w floro tube during the night and outside during the day (on decent days)..I'm not new to growing so I definitely have watering down..I water with poland springs (room temperature) water every 4-5 days or when the top soil is cracked and the pot is light..watering until about 10% runoff..Also, this plant has been in Sterilized soil since day 1 with no food whatsoever!!Not a heavy feeder obviously..I have only watered with 1 tbls of molasses per gallon..I do have several amendments on the way including ewc,perlite,and dolomite lime and kelp meal..I will also add bonemeal and bloodmeal..In addition it will be transplanted into a larger container with pro-mix..I will eventually aquire a larger light,but I sold my 250 w hps and my 150w envirolite so outside will have to do for now ( nothing beats the sun imo )until the temps start declining rapidly due to end of the season..



Well anyway,below are just a few pics..

2 or 3 blades are pretty similar to this(the edges folding under) minus the necrotic patches...


Thanks guys..

ps-I have looked through stitches sick plant guide as well as a few others but several symptoms look similar to mine and I don't want to misdiagnose the problem..I rather get a second opinion..

peace :joint:

Anyone? I'm still searching through the infirmary.I'm determined to figure this out

Gave the leaves a foliar spray including the undersides with 1 tsp of epsom salt..I'll see how this pans out repeating for the next 2-3 days..If that's not the case,I'm going to be transplanting anyway as soon as I get all supplies.Will see how it progresses from there and then take whatever steps necessary.I also top dressed a few pinches of dried blood,then cultivated with a fork..I'll probably water in a day or two..just stay happy until I can transplant :muahaha:

I'll let everything settle in,dry out,then hit it with a diluted bloom fert (small dose) [fish 2-3-1] for the missing p-k ratios..See where it stands after this..

Everything is on it's way,should be here soon..For now I will supplement the p and k with the diluted bloom fert.

Note: after giving the leaves a misting of the epsom I have noticed a change in a few leaves from pale yellow to a darker green.I put my finger under the blades and noticed a difference to where I could hardly see the shadow of my finger through it as opposed to completely transparent..

-I'm not going to rule out sulphur deficiency on this one..1-2 tsps of espsom per gal with each watering until things clear up..Could also use rainwater..

I've had similar problems like this before. I was using foxfarm Ocean forest soil and hadn't added any extra perlite, I over watered and my plants looked just like that.

ok so here we are in December..Now 2 days 12/12.

Right before I flipped I noticed some yellowing on all the lateral shoots growing upward..

The over all appearance of the leaves are pale but not too bad..A few fans underneath the canopy went completely yellow but were healthy and fell off with ease which makes me think nitrogen..I'm going to give one good feeding of grow big for the final stretch then proceed with further feedings down the road with alaska fish 2-3-1..Heres a pic of a leaf I managed to get off one of the shoots..You can see how the green is fading away..mostly on the middle blade in this pic..The whole leaf is kind of pale but the lighting makes it look dark..Forgot to mention the side shoots have a deep red stem and the leaves are pale
