Your plants look good. The yellowing on lower leaves is a nitrogen definciency. What soil are you using and what are you feeding?

Hmmm. Roots is supposed to be pretty kick ass soil. How tall is your plant and how big is your pot. Might be time for a transplant. Side note, not a big fan of square pots

What strength are you feeding, I don't see any signs of burning.

Also, 5 gallons is big for a four week old plant. Not a bad idea to do an in between size.

Ive been feeding it around half the amount it says on the bottle

I would go up to 3/4. Maybe someone with more experience with Roots will chime in

Looks like a simple N deficiency.

But Sulfur can also cause a similar look.

One thing that's caught my eye is that your leaves on your plant look a little puffy.

I usually take this as a sign of under feeding.

How often are you using plain water vs how often you use nitrients?

Rather than up the nutrient strength and risk a burn maybe you could step up your feeding.

Eg if you currently water water feed.

Then try feed water feed at your current strength.

Can anyone help me with this problem. The plants are just over 4 weeks old vegging. The bottome leaves are turning like this. A yellow light green
I don't think there is anything wrong with your plants. That type of yellow is most likely from the leaves nt getting enough light, the plant will naturally do that.
roots soil has enough nutes in it for a while, and a 5 gallon will have a lot of soil for the plant to feed off. I wouldn't do anything. Personally.
Many times the best course of action, is none at all.

I think he means that they have been vegging for 4 weeks, I don't think that plant is 4 weeks old from seed. If it is, then that's a damn fast growing plant

are we seeing the same things?, because to me, I don't see anything wrong with those plants.
I certainly wouldn't feed more.

I believe you are right. The one from the picture was taken off the bottom of the afghan skunk in the front where it easnt getting a lot of light

It is just over 4 weeks old from the day it sprouted, and I started germinating 2 days before that

your plants look pretty good man. I wouldn't change anything if it were me, and square pots are fine, they are the best at maximizing space, I used square pots for years, they work fine, airpots work better, but those are fine.

That plant is gonna continue to grow like a weed if you dont train it. Looks pretty green. That leaf died most likely from lack of light. Happens to me all the time. Need to open that plant up to make a canopy :)

Agreed they are some healthy looking girls, hopefully girls anyway. And I realize this conversation is kind of over.

...but if that is four weeks from seed my thinking was that this is a heavy feeder. Which in my experience is a good thing. Light feeders seem to be more of a pain in the ass. All sensitive not very cooperative etc. Maybe that's just me, maybe I tend to over feed, but damn a heavy feeder means a heavy producer.

So I'm not arguing that one yellow leaf means a definciency. It probably is aligt issue now that monkey has pointed that out. Just be prepared though up like that in four weeks. You will need to increase either the EC or the frequency of feeding.

I agree, for the most part, I do have a light-feeding jack herer that isn't too much of a pain to grow (and MAN is she tasty)
But yes, that is a healthy plant, fast growing for sure.
