Hi guys, so dinafem are not shipping, i ended up using a seedbank ive never tried, im growing l.a confidential fem, well since they popped i noticed yellowing leaves, id say 60% of what has already grown is like this, i stopped checking ph levels 5 years ago with NO issues, ive just ordered new batteries for my tester and ph+ and ph - liquid.

Other than checking the water im pretty stuck as ive been using the same soil for 10 years with no issues, has anyone got any idea wtf might be causing this ? The soil is biobiz all mix, been using this brand for 10 years solid, im tempted to think the soil ph is out of wack, im quite lost with this problem as its started as soon as they popped.

Nothing i have done with this grow is any different, other than the supplier.

Ill add photos tomorrow when the lights are off.

Seed suppliers do not cause yellowing leaves.
Indvidual genetics do, however, have different needs. You may need to adjust to this.

seems to be growing at a good speed, everything looks great in that respect, ive just never seen this before and to be honest , i am still suspicious, im convinced something is off.

Ill do my best to not stress over it, as they are growing well, i hear what you're saying and ill try to calm myself down a bit, lol

i was planning on just letting them go, and see where they end up, but also, i dont wanna loose 15/17 weeks of my time anfd effort into a shit grow.

All i can do is test and adjust the water ph value and see what happens i guess.

so i also now bought new soil, the bag i used was not labelled as biobiz, it was in a black sack, but it does look and feel identical to biobiz, so when my ph meter batteries arrive i can check the water properly, if after a couple waterings there is no change i am going to replace very carefully the soil as best as i can.

Not prepared to ruin a grow :)

Wait a second. Are you just buying batteries for a pH meter you haven't used in 5 years? If so I wouldn't trust it..

i may end up just swapping soil, seeing as ive not had to worry about ph for 5 years i cant see how it would suddenly change so quickly.

I will use it to see where it reads from the tap, i know what it should be based on my previous readings.

new soil arrived, i have repot ALL 4 of them, either they recover or they dont, but im not prepared to accept that a weed plant is ok to be 50 % YELLOW, thanks for all the help and advice guys.

I decided to repot ALL 4 now, im not going to agree with you , because quite frankly i dont think its ok to have yellowing leaves at such an early stage.

And for what its worth, i did test the PH meter against my NEW one when it arrived, ZERO difference.
