They germinated grew to about 3 inches first main levers grew out but plants in organic coco and the ones in soil seem to be a bright yellowish green and just the inside part of the main leaves are yellowing. The issue starts in the center of the new growth not effecting anything else. Plants still seem to be growing little by little could this be light, iron, or watering issue. I run 5.9 ph for the organic coco and 6.5 for the soil

As a point of understanding, and of interest, why do you place your seedlings into such a large pot. The reason I ask is because the size of pot is so large that many new growers overwater their plants in wetting down their mediums. Think about how much roots are in that massive bucket and how much water this plant actually needs when watering. Staying in a smaller pot also helps roots establish better before transplanting them into a bigger pot. As a rule of thumb, plants should always be bigger than their pots (with the exception of clones and seedlings which could start in a solo cup

Selective watering , when you start an auto in there final container you don't feed as much as what grown plant would need. I don't water my seedlings with a gallon maybe between a half a cup to a full cup ever few days when the medium is dry. Depending on soil or coco. The coco seems to hold more water so I water it less. I see its highly recommended to keep autos in the same pot start to finish you just have to watch how much water you give them so you don't drown them. If this was a standard photo period strain I would start out in a small nursery pot , than to a 1 gallon 3 than 5 for my space.

Yes we understand but you are not keeping keeping a decent wet zone for the growing roots. Looks too dry. You have to keep going out in concentric circles that are kept moist. Not wet and surely not too dry for new roots.

As a point of clarification, I asked why? Even if these are autos, the pots still seem big for an entire grow... and even if this is not his problem now, I'm just wondering why so big a pot? Growers have finished autos in solo cups, believe it or not.

Im going by what the breeder suggests for pot size for the strain. I definitely would like to try that though , its amazing how its not root bound

I'll try to give them an even feeding tonight, actually makes alot of since to me with how I've been feeding them. I thought it might have been iron but your answer leads me to believe that your correct because I haven't fully watered the soil yet only about 6 inches around the base of the plant. Ill try that tonight and give you guys an update through the next few days.
