Yellowing leaves on my first plant, need advice!

[SycknTyred]

Hello, first time grower here, ordered an ounce of white widow and found a seed in it so I figured what the hell, might be fun to try growing. Germinated fine and everything was good until about the 3rd week, the tips of some of the lower fan leaves started to get yellow or even light grey it looks like. Added some gaia green 444 since then, havent noticed it spreading, but the old leaves arent getting better. I dont think they do but I'm not sure? Anyways here's some pics! Thanks in advance!

Sound like a lack of P.
You can't fix a damaged leaf, but you can stop it from happening again.

Nice....What medium are you using?

Honestly just bought a couple bags of ProMix soil and added a bit of extra perlite for drainage. Top dressed the 444 at week 5 when I started noticing the discolored leaves.

Ok. ProMix is not really an organic soil. It needs an MBE (Microbes, Bacteria, Enzymes) package to complete it for organics. If you want to go that way.
If not, that's not a problem either. It just means you will have to feed more often and keep track of how much each plant eats.
You've kind of positioned yourself in the middle. Take some time to learn about the different methods and decide which one you want to learn first.

Think itd be easier for me to go with the 2nd route now, to feed each plant more often? That's what I'm thinking

You could go either way, but since you already have some food, finish this grow that way while you decide how you want to do the next one.

That looks like overwatering damage to me. Let them get dry before you water. The sagging, downward curled leaves are what I am seeing.

I'm in the overwatering camp too.

off topic, but be cautious about posting pics of buildings around your grow op. that pic of the blue and yellow building, with the bus stop sign and blue car are enough for a skilled investigator to identify your exact location.

I go with poor drainage.

Okay thank you! My situation is a little different also, they are normally outside at my parents place because I lack the space where i live. They grow outdoors and i also cant trust neighbours here. So I kinda rely on them to water which theyre cool with they enjoy the plants too. Just they keep telling me I should water them more, and I do read through this site quite alot I know not to overwater. But yeah that's just my situation lol

I just brought this one back to my apartment because of how bad it was looking!

 

[SycknTyred]

Since bringing it back this is all new growth, does it look better or no? Never had any new growth off the stem before

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

That growth is normal.
Looks a touch overwatered, but nothing severe.

 

[SycknTyred]

Okay, I havent watered it in 2 days :/
