troubled leaves . . .

i have a plant which is about 5 weeks old now.

most of the lower leaves have all turned yellow over the whole leaf and some higher leaves have started yellowing from the edge and is now gradually working its way over the whole leaf.

they are also drying out a little. the newest leaves seem to be fine so far.

any idea what could be causing this ?

this plant is from bagseed.

pictures....

Hi Babylon,

What kind of soil are you using? Does it have ferts in it? Yellowing by itself usually means it needs Nitrogen. I don't know how much you know about growing so ... Fertalisers have a N-P-K label on them. You want one with the first number higher than the others and you mix it up next time you water them. Hope this helps

I would be curious to know the answer to Lucian's question about soil and ferts. Also Babylon, do you know the ph of your soil? If you don't have a ph meter, I highly suggest you pick one up for $5.95 and or get some ph test strips. I have a meter and use the hydropinc water tester solution even though I grow in soil, because that way I can test the ph of the run off water as well. I only bring this up because it looks to me like you have more going on than just N deficiency. Finally, what wattage hps is that?
