Well you may not want to water daily unless your soil completely dries out every day. I use a cheap three in one meter to check moister level and I only have to water every 3 days or so for my small pots and every 6 or so for larger pots. Over watering will kill your plant but what the other guy said is true as well.

Yeah i heard about that and switched to watering every other day. So to much water will kill the under foliage, turning them yellow with brown spots?

Yeah man,

with my limited experience, dying fan leaves is a normal process. As long as you have healthy growth underneath. If you notice it starts at the tips and edges. Its just pulling nutes away from the unneeded leafs and using it for new growth. At least this is how it was explained to me and it made sense. That and I didn’t change anything and everything is fine.
My soil growth is not as strong as hydro. The Ph is gonna be different, but everything else pretty much is the same. Don’t worry about the plant unless it starts taking a drastic turn. They will tell you when something is wrong. It wont be a case of "I think something is wrong" it will be more like "shit everything is dying overnight"....that’s when you need to worry.
If the discoloring stays to the fan leafs then I think you will be ok.....just moving on to the next growth stage is all.

Bump this thread a few times and someone with a little more know how may be able to help if you show some pics.

P.S. If you are overwatering the soil the leafs will droop and look kinda heavy....if you underwater they will look tight and curl.
Seriously tho....its a weed, just let it do its thing.

P.S.S. STOP cutting your fan leafs.....im done now.

ok Well i added miracle grow with something like 20 20 30 npk and fucking over night all the yellow in the plants disapered and this one plant, that was yellow from top to bottom with purple streaks and shit showed a total turn around. I guess i didnt give a accurate enough description. It was deffinetly a nutrient defficiency. I feel like exploding in my pants, they are the healthiest plants i have ever laid my eyes on. MARIJUANA IS A HUNGARY BEAST, thats my observation, and whoever said young plants dont need nutrients a couple posts back was wrong. Tey LOVE IT.

Ok, well why dont a lot of other peoples plants leaves turn yellow? most of the plants i have ever seen dont even turn yellow during the flowering phase even with monster growing buds. they are beautiful throughout the whole life cycle.

have to agree with the last few posts, the leaves at the bottom of my plant are all yellow and dry but i'm not worried, was gonna clip them off anyways as they were the first big leaves the plant sent out with 1 or 3 leaves and since the plant now has plenty of far bigger ones nearer the light its basically digesting those ones and letting them dry out. If it were any higher up than the first bud spot i would worry personally
