Yellowness in starter leaf

  1. Hey,

    I have 2 plants going. They are about a week old now. One, is having yellowing show on one of its original 2 starter leaves. You know, those two small very smooth ones.

    I tried growing before a couple months back, and had this problem. It was the miracle gro I was using at the time. I dont know what it could be now, though.

    I'm using Fox Farms Ocean Forest Potting Mix with nothing added. No nutrients yet. Temps are probably around 85. 111 Watts in a micro grow. From what I've read, it could be N deficient, Mg deficient (Cant be either of those since I havent used nutes.), or over watering. I didnt think I was over watering, though.

    Anybody have an idea?
     
  2. those are supposed to fall off!
     
  3. At a week old the starter leaves [cotyledons] should not be yellow. Most likely your FFOF Soil is too hot for them and starting to fert burn them.
     
  4. The starter leaves are supposed to fall off?

    no shit...

    i really never knew that, lol thanks :)
