hello, i am having some problems with my plant

the tips have been yellowing since about 2 days ago. i am growing outdoors, and i have no explanation... the soil pH seems to be good. its around 6. as for other nutrients, i mixed in some 10-10-10 nutes to see if that would help. although yellowing has slowed down a little bit, its still going on...

any help would be appreciated

ah yes, im growing bagseed in soil... it is about 2.5wks old.

What kind of soil is it? Some soils are to rich for delicate seedlings....

it's a mix of mainly clay and silt. i also added some perlite in the mix...

Did someone give you the recipe for that? Silt is the sediment from the bottem of ponds that erroded from the rivers and streams that feed it. Who knows what's in it. That may be your problem....
