    Yellowing leaves

    I'm on my first grow and I was hoping for help. Some of my fan leaves are turning yellow and my plants look a little light green. I'm watering every 3-4 days with 3/4 of a gallon each. I'm using Fox Farm Happy frog soil in the top 3/4 of the pot and Fox farm Ocean Forest soil in the bottom 1/4. I'm feeding with Lotus nutrients. I am now on the 24th day of flowering. One plant had a runoff PPM of 1145 and the other 993. I rotate watering with nutrients every other watering and plain water the other. My watering PH level is usually between 6.0-6.2. my temperature stay around 77-79 and humidity between 40-43. I did notice last night temps got down to 68 and humidity down to 38. I'd appreciate any help. I don't want to loose my plants because of beginner mistakes

    Your PH is on the low side for flowers in soil, try 6.5-6.8 they may be in lock out.

      Thanks. I'm going to try watering with a PH of 6.8 next watering. I just watered today. Most of the yellowing is on the lower big fan leaves and some that are not receiving much light, but I know there's a problem. Hopefully upping the PH of my water will help

        For a first grow your doing great.
        Are the leaves droopy like that all day or just at lights on or nearing lights off?

        Upping the pH like that should help a lot but vary it a bit each water 6.5 to 6.8 when you get back into the swing of it.

          The leaves don't droop. It was because I didn't get to water them yesterday and when I took the pictures I just watered them. Usually they look perky

        Might want to cover up those roots I see in pic 1

          Ok I will. Thanks. I was saying to myself today that they got so big and they were above the dirt

          Leave them. The rest of the plant will use the remaining mobile nutrients in those leaves if it needs to.
