Day 32: more and more yellow. No clue what i can do at this point

Hopefully you didn't water them too soon. Than can damage the roots. Cause issues.

in your opinion, the yellow is likely due to over watering?

That or a lack of nutrients. But a common error is watering too soon. Killing some of the roots. Now you have to recover the plants health.

Go ahead an stab a finger in the pot before you water to make sure it isn't too wet

Judging by how full the leaves look, I'd say over watering.

I make sure the entire medium is bone dry. I now water about once every 5 days.
5 gallons pot

i never water when even 3 inch above the soil is remotely humid.

day 34
received my ph meter. My water is around 6.4 so good enough for soil.

I have not read the entire thread, but since you are still asking for opinions, here goes:

For some botanical reason, beyond my scope, cannabis tolerates, even enjoys a slightly higher ph as it progresses later into flower. So, plants that loved 6.1-6.3, early on, may enjoy 6.6-6.8 mid to late flower. Something about nutrient uptake blah blah, constant low p.h water can cause issues in smallish pots.

Im using floraflex nutes

should I start to feed their bloom nutes?

 

[crimsonecho]

not related to your issue but i think you should defoliate how is your rh i have high rh all the time so that crowded scene gives me anxiety.
and as far as your problems go what are you feeding them at this point?

 

[loveinyourheart]

Floraflex https://floraflex.com/default/floraflex-nutrients.html
ive been giving the V1 and V2 nutes and cal mag

ive found a way to keep rh under 60

ive done a couple of defoliation sessions. Ive been told to wait until probem resolves before doing more defoliation

 

[loveinyourheart]

should I start the Bloom nutrients or i should still continue the Veg nutes?

I normally go to bloom food within 2 weeks of flip. However your plants being a bit yellow I'm not sure if keeping them on nitrogen rich for another week or two would help. But it might.

I don't think this is nitrogen deficiency resembles very much like zinc and I'm pretty confident if this was a mobile nutrient deficiency such as calmag nitrogen potassium phosphorus it would start at the bottom foliage and the new growth would be healthier looking.....but this is throughout your plant very much so with new growth check the link I included and based on posts Iv read before this should be easy to diagnose and correct if actions are taken now

thanks very much, definitely looks like my plants lack zinc.. I realize though that my lights exagerate the yellows. tint. its much less yellow outside the tent.

again, im not sure if i understand here. Am I in flower stage of pre flower. should I begin to feed with Bloom nutrients or should I stick with Veg nutriments for another week?

Switch over by week 3 of 12 hour light

im growing mephisto genetics auto flower... ive been using 20/4 light cycle.

Ahh. Then I'd switch 10 days after the first sign of budlets

I tested this out in 2 runs I gave full veg for the first watering in week 1 of flower and by day 3-4 I'd give half and half and by day 7 give full bloom . This run I just started giving full bloom from day one of flower and didn't really notice much the size of the plants store enough nutrients and the doses i give carry them to the next feeding. When going into flower the plant isn't focusing on vegetation its transitioning to flower so really needs that boost in phosphorus & potassium for buds deff recommend end of week one no more vegg nutrients and if you are struggling with deficiencys or plant health in regards of food make your life easier go synthetic or as I use a synthetic organic hybrid line like "remo nutrients" cheap in price high in quality you can fix things much easier and faster and when you get the hang of growing jump back to organics.
