Give them any base fert that contains P. Thats the way most def. work....you just give em something that has what they need. There are some ferts that have different blends like 5-2-4 0-0-1..etc.

I have been growing these ice babies for 3 weeks now and have notice that the first leaves are starting to go yellow in patches, starting from the tip and slowly heading towards the centre. They seem to be drying and then cracking after that. A few of the mid leaves are getting a little spotty as well.... Im guessing that its not light burning... Is it because of over feeding at such a young stage or too much water?? Any help with this would be much appreciated! Here are some pics to help show what Ive explained. IMG_0998.JPG

They look like they're over fed. If you have given ANY nutes that is probably it. You've got the yellowing starting at the tips, and it looks like the fringes are curling up a bit...which is either too hot or over ferting. Some close-ups may help

Any advice on the yellowing at the bottom of this plant. I'm not sure if it looks like a mangnesium deficiency, but it has me a bit concerned because of the sudden onset.

It doesn't for sure look like mag def. ...but neither did mine and magical fixed it. Get some more pics. And how quick did this happen?

Its looking like a N def. Have you read through my links that are in this thread? If not...then do...and see which fits best. The ICmag link is the best place to start then the stuff by Rosenthal

Perhaps I've cut to far back on the N b/c the plant is a ruderalis cross and is already flowering. I just gave it a shot of nitrogen after reading your post, and I'll keep a close eye on it. Thanks for the help. I save all the yellowing leaves to make butter and it still gives a nice buzz.
