Just a Guess: I am no expert! But the dark, shiny Green leaves with some Yellowing tells me there may be a little bit of Nitrogen Toxicity going on. Are you adding any nutes with Nitrogen in them? P.S.: Severity is only Slight.Hi everyone, New to this site and I'm a first time grower. My plants are now in the beginning vegetative phase. I've got a Mixed Berry, a Dark Star and a Secret #28. The mixed berry is the strongest growing then dark star and the secret #28 is abt 1/3 of the others sizes (didn't know if it would make it but it's trying hard now). I'm growing in a 2'x4' mylar tent. I have 3 plants. 2 growing much faster than the 3rd. I'm using "Purple Cow Indicanja" living soil in 3 gallon cloth pots. My soil ph is 7.0 (which doesn't seem to drop even using acidic water). I'm using tap water with adjusted ph. They seem to need water abt every other day. I'm letting them dry to 1st knuckle deep before watering. Temperature in the bottom of the tent is 73.6 at plant height 75.3.. Humidity is 61%-65%. I've Installed a fan with filter for CO2 delivery and cutting the smell. I also have a small fan oscillating on plants to create a breeze like environment. I started the tent with a 4000 watt LED full spectrum light but when my problem began I thought perhaps I was burning the plants with the wattage and speeding up nutrient intake. After some research I see that I can pass with 250 watt of LED. Plants aren't growing as fast since downgrading the light. As of now, I'm continuing with the 250 watt full spectrum LED lighting and am not adding any additional nutrients (although I do have them). However, the problem persists. I'm attaching a couple of pics to see if anyone might know what's happening. I'm desperate to get this under control so I don't ruin them before I even get started. You can see it begins at the edges and spreads thoughout the leaf until mostly yellow with green veins. Any suggestions? I look forward to any and all suggestions! If there's anything I haven't included please ask. Hopefully I'll have the answer.
Thanks so much for your help!
This is the set up I bought. They won't tell.me the manufacturer of the light. I now know that after arguing with them for abt a month that I question everything abt what they've given me. Think I need to buy a light that I don't question. Although the plants were growing by leaps and bounds when I was using it. Here's the links.. Look forward to your input. I'm just lost.. Thanks sooo much for your help! Just want to be successful in this endeavor..Soil and nutrients?
Can you link your LEDs? They don't make 4000w LED grow lights so that's an equivalent nit true wattage.
ya you don’t need to be adding nutrients at least yet, or ph the water, your growing with organics, no need to water to run off.This is the set up I bought.

Soil:
Purple Cow Indicanja
Set-up with light :
Grow tent kit
Nutritients:
Humboldt Base A&B
Humboldt plant enzymes
Humboldt Secret Golden Tree
(I added one dose of each into a gallon of water. It says to use them all at the same time. So the plants would have gotten about 1 and 1/2 watering with it. Then I went back to clean ph adjusted water. I didn't think about the living soil. Once I completely read up on it and what it containsand I knew I probably shouldn't have added the Humboldt nutes..) However, but the plant was pretty dark prior to.. The soil seems to have very good reviews but I'm wondering if I got a bag with too much of one of its ingredients.. I'm strictly guessing though. I'm seriously clueless. Even after reading everything, you still need the hands on experience.
Okay.. I will yank them out of the tentnot nitrogen toxicity maybe a potassium deficiency, or overwatering or light stress..
why don’t you post pictures of the whole plants at different angles
did shut the lighting WAY back. I only did the one gallon jug with the nutes. So abt 1 and 1/2 watering. Clueless on the potassium. Lol.. And here's the link to my ph stuff. Gonna go run and take full pics so I can post them before I go to bed. Will take me a few minutes. You guys are AWESOME! Can't thank you enough!ya you don’t need to be adding nutrients at least yet, or ph the water, your growing with organics, no need to water to run off.
just curious what do you use to adjust your ph?
Okay so, here's the Dark Star. It seems to be the 2nd strongest I have going. It's 26 days in dirt today..not nitrogen toxicity maybe a potassium deficiency, or overwatering or light stress..

Remove the biggest fan leaves to get some airflow into the plants imo. Look slightly over watered maybe?Okay so, here's the Dark Star. It seems to be the 2nd strongest I have going.

ok time for a fat joint and probably bed if i don’t get back to ya.And my secret #28. It had a seriously SLOW start. Didn't think it would make it at all from the seed. It's just now starting growing.
I'd remove all the bottom stuff personally like 1/3 up the pplant.the burning ooks like oover damage also.Mixed Berry. My strongest plant. Also 26 days in dirt today. It's pushing 2 foot.
Same deal looks like older damage but needs cleaned up. Temps raised and better dry back.And my secret #28. It had a seriously SLOW start. Didn't think it would make it at all from the seed. It's just now starting growing.
Kit I bought.Have a link to the kit you bought?
Okay, I'll read up on what you've written here and sort through what I need to do. You have a great night. I might hit you up again to get some confirmation if I have questions. Thanks SO much for your help!!And yes at one point the light was to strong.
