I would suggest rasing ph a bit, you may be getting some nute lockout. I do a ph of 6.6 and then drop every water to 6.2 or 3 and then start over. Makes sure you cover the ph spectrum for optimal nute intake. I would try a bit higher around 6.5 or so and see if it likes that. There is always a sweet spot but as the plant grows that sweet spot moves and you need to lead it, not chase it.
Looks like magnesium deficiency. Add some Epsom salt (mag sulfate) or foliar with it. I don't know the dosage for foliar but 1-2g per gal with watering.
Possibly.Yeah I thought this could be potentially causing the issue. The plant has seemed to recover and the newer growth seems to be a better shade of green.
Do you think needing magnesium would have caused the tips on all the plants to become yellow?
I have attached some more pictures so they can be diagnosed better. The darkest green on the one on the left, which is a clone of the very light one appears to be doing very well. This is the color that the light one was, before new growth started coming in much lighter rapidly about 3 or 4 weeks ago. The other plant in the picture with all 3 in the back is one of the two seeds, this one always grew a bit slower than the one that turned light. I have noticed this one seems to have also gotten a bit lighter as well.
You can see on the light one the section in the middle which is where it began and those leaves are very yellowed looking, but as it grew and I added the foliar spray a few time and started changing my water ph from 7.3 to 6.3 - 6.6 it began improving. It was really drooping when it started getting really light growth but now is perky and looks fairly good.
Possibly.
Are you giving a good wet dry cycle? how often do you water?
Might be pushing the lights to hard also.
can try using light meter by my mobile tools dev to check the lux
Increased demand for K could also do that. Or excess calcium with can affect both K and mag uptake but i think for the most part they are just hungry overall and Mag is showing first.I water around once every 3 to 4 days depending on how light the pots feel. In the images I just put up they look slightly droopy, but that's just because it was 5 minutes before the lights went off. All day long the leaves are "praying" and look very perky and happy. I have been giving the ones in the 7 gallon pots around 2 - 2.5 gallons of water adjusted to anywhere from 6.4 to 6.6. The 5 gallon pot I give around 1.5 gallons. I did move them a bit closer recently since I switched to 12/12 so that could potentially be causing the yellow tips?

to much P bro. High P also affects and K uptake. Use that lightly and should be ok but not to much definitely 1/4 recommended IMOIt does seem to have done it more since I switched the flower. The problem is I gave it the Dr. Earth dry amendment before watering Friday and also foliar sprayed all 3. And I switched to flower this same day as well. So the tips could have been burned from the foliar spray, the dry fertilizers, or indicate a need for something, such as K as you said. I just got Dr. Earth Flower girl which is 3-9-4.
I figured that maybe the plants that became more light just needed additional nutrients, but it seems odd that if they did need them, then why would it have burned the tips when given some? I gave the dry amendments to all three and all three now have yellow tips. They seem to be growing fine though besides this.
Now I don't know about giving it the Flower Girl or not. Quite the dilemma lol.

Ok, I will use 1/4 when I use it. I should have used less of the 4-4-4 one too probably. Do you think I should give it some when I water next in a couple days or wait longer?
I am also going to get some epsom salts and use a small amount of that. Just 1 - 2 grams per gallon of water?
I think I read he is ph'ng at 6.5 to 6.8. Whoops. Missed it. Run off measurement. I bet he's way high.Has anyone asked what type of water he is using? I re read post but dont see it? Tap water, well water R/O? Might be the answer Maybe I am blind lol. Was it mentioned?
