Hey, I started giving my plant nutes at about 1/8 the dose once a week and slowly worked to 1/4 and for some nutes 1/2. Using Coco Coir
currently feeding: BC Boost 1/2 dose, FloraMicro 1/4 dose, and calMag 1/2 dose

I had some yellowing and brown spots on my lowest leafs but once I stepped up my dose's a bit and added CalMag The green darkend and the yellow started going green. I kept the dose the same and only every other watering. Now I'm noticing a bit of yellowing back and the leafs 2nd from bottom are very light and almost curled down a bit (there was a previous curl on the tips they've kept from a rough child hood)... Do I give more at once, or less more often?

Your plant looks stretched and hungry.

I don't see you mention any vegging nutes.

What are the NPK numbers of what you're currently using?

I grow in coco and I feed every watering.

My nutes are NPK 6-3-8. I then have some extras that I use.

Coco ideally needs to be fed at 5.8pH. Are you testing your pH?

Opps, my BC boost is actually Grow vegging nute not Boost. I'm really new so still learning. I have the ph drop test right now, my hydro shop has been out of electronic testers since I started growing.. I'm not sure where I find NPK out... There was a stretching from the first few weeks of life, I buried it deeper and switched my lighting up. its currently 8 inches below a 400W MH. So would you say my issue is under feeding and I should be giving nutes every time I feed?
 
Yes nutes every time you feed.


Don't go over board to begin with.

Just mix up some nutes slightly stronger than you have been and feed every time.

They'll soon bounce back.

Its easier to correct under feeding than it is over feeding.

Hey, nothing to worry about here. It’s a typical case of underfeeding and your plants are starving for nutes. Boost up your NPK a little and see the difference. Also maintain the pH constantly at 5.5 to 5.8.
 
mine are yellowing at the very two oldest leave sets. they are from seed Iranian g13, about 3 weeks old. we are in the same situation.IM going to do the same .I can let u know how I make out

Would you say the same for peat moss/perlite mix? I got a bit of dolomite lime in their too...
Just curious if I should feed every watering as I waited a 2 or so weeks then was told I should have started feeding from the start! So would you say feed every watering in peat moss too?
