So i just started this plant i had from a dro seed i found(omg dro with a seed!!) and i started it 18 days ago. it seems to be doing fine but today the lower leaves turned to a lighter green. its been going on a 24 hour light cycle its indoors and ive been watering it with plain water so far around 3 each dat with just a little water. So I Just Needed To Know If Everything Looked Fine Or If I Should Change Something?

Ok. You are not watering it properly.

When you water a plant you don't do it everyday. You water it well meaning you let the water run through the soil and make sure it is totally wet throughout. Then you let the soil dry out. Depending on the size of the pot this may be a few days. Well the soil is dry and the plant is starting to look like it is going to wilt soon....then you water it.

It's good that you're not watering too much any more. The yellowing leaves may also be from a lack of nutes. I've read a lot of journals on this forum and have a grow going myself and I would say that the people who buy nutes at walmart are never satisfied. Order some fox farms brand soil and nutrients from the internet but do it pretty quickly. That yellowing will get worse from lack of nitrogen. Peace.

Mine started to get yellow aswell and i gave it some all purpose fertilizer 10-10-10 and the yellowing started dissappearing the day after.After 3 days,it was completely back on track with the other plants.
