Possible problem

It’s day #32 for my girl and honestly I can’t tell if the leaves with yellow are the same ones and just got bigger or if the yellow is spreading! What’s causing my leaves to look this way? I want to make sure she is healthy for flower.

Yellowing is often caused by low levels of Nitrogen. What, if anything, are you feeding it? Too much food can cause similar issues, as can wayward Ph levels, but in general, a plant will get lighter green when starting to need nitrogen and the leaves can yellow and die if it is deficient enough.

It hasn’t had a feeding yet I transplanted it into fox farm ocean forest soil with extra perlite on June 6 and I’m letting it use up those nutrients but I have the fox farm liquid nutrients for feedings......I have her 1ml/gallon of cal mag a couple days ago

It look hungry because the roots aren't fully recovered since transplant. I always raise the light a bit after transplant for a few days.

So you think I should give her a feeding? The first photo is her on transplant day she needed watered and transplanted bad....the other photo is of her 9 days ago!

I wouldn't feed any chemical now. You could use a weak pee mix.4 oz pee/gal water but not until the pot is dry.

If you planted it in Fox Farms, you probably don't need to feed it anything as it already has nutrients mixed into it. It could be your plant's reaction to being put into a fairly hot medium. Once the roots grow in some, you will probably see some recovery but be careful when feeding until you know how much stuff is left in the soil... a PPM/EC meter to measure the outflow will work well.

How are you watering these? Can you describe it fully every little detail.

After 10 days it's not transplant shock it's something you are doing and I have a feeling it's how you are watering.

Also those plants in the video could use a little pruning or atleast some airflow through the canopy at this point

Saturate the entire media so you get a little runoff( don't need alot of runoff in your media just a bit) Then let it dry well before watering again. It's very common for growers to think overwatering is to much water but that's not the case. Overwatering is watering to often. If you partially water you can end up with dry spots and uneven soil density in the future. IMO you should saturate the media and give it time to dry before watering again.

The fabric bags are nice, but difficult to transplant from. So not uncommon for growers to go into big fabric (as opposed to going from a couple smaller pots). But this makes watering much harder to regulate. With your size plants, they’d normally be in a 1 gallon (nursery, which is really .7 gallon) and wouldn't come close to using 1.5 gallons of water. You'll need to run a fine line between giving a good soaking and watering too often. I'd only water out a little past your drip line at this point and not soak the entire pot (which in your case might take a week or so to dry out).

edit:most certainly take Aqua Man's advice on not doing a lot of small waterings, however.
