Nute Burn or Nitr. deficiency? (or light)?

This is my first plant, I noticed just last week, the bottom 2 leaves started turning yellow. They r soft and yellow. On closer examination I noticed the tips of the leaves up top are turning yellow also, but just the tips. When I first looked it up, I felt maybe it was a nute burn , as I had transplanted it into a bigger pot with normal potting soil which may have some nutrients in it. I flushed it with water a couple of times. I feel the tips are still turning even on the newer growth. It seems to be growing well otherwise. I am not sure what is really happening, I usually water every 2 days then the third time is a feed. I havent been feeding her since the transplant. Is this a nute burn or deficiency or light issue or what? Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers

Cut those lower yellow leaves off.
Stop watering it so much. Cuz it looks a little drowned to me. Let the soil dry right out between watering.
What kind of light is it getting?
Formula I use for watering is - nutes/nutes/flush - whatever flush you want, I use 'Killer Tea'.
 
Thank you for your reply!
I use LED, provides 1.83 nanos. Thats really all the info I have besides a photo I will attach.
I'm sure I sound like a noob, but when u say nute/nute/flush , u mean feed every 2 days, and the third time just water? So you dont think its a nute burn?And is killer tea compost tea?
Thx!
 
Hey Snoop ,it's almost impossible to grow cannabis without monitoring your PH, if it's not right your plants can't uptake the nutrients they need.
In soil it needs to be between 6.0-7.0.
My plants really like it around 6.3 -6.5. You can use the drops like you use in aquariums they are real cheap or you can get a digital type on Amazon for 12-15 dollars ,they work ok if you keep em calibrated. The drops are real easy.
Nebula has excellent articles on GWE about how to monitor your PH, she has even got videos showing you how.
Its real easy, you need to read those articles about PH ,it's very important part of growing pot. Good Luck Snoop.
 
No, do not feed every two days. Let the soil dry out. After it has dried out, lift the pot to feel how light it is. Next time you water, just lift the pot to feel how heavy it is.
Killer Tea is a combination of dried worms, worm casings, bird guano and the like.
 
Water the plants when they need it. Sometimes they are thirstier than other times, just have to watch them and they will tell you.
Maybe feed them once a week or less, more if needed.
Like I said, pay attention to your plants and they will tell you.
 
Again just try to make sure your water is around 6.5 would be a good starting place.Then after you water catch a little bit that comes out the bottom of your pot and check PH again. That's how you know what's going on around your roots, if your PH is off your plant want grow good cause it can't feed. Plus when your PH is off it can cause lots of other problems, kinda like how your plant looks now.
Good Luck Snoop , and keep everyone informed
 
Where does it say he's growing in coco ?I read it several times and I can't find it , but I know I'm blind .
Soil 6.0- 7.0
Coco 5.5 -6.5. That's what Nebula says.
 
You what your PH between 6.0- 7.0. If you can get it at 6.3 -6.5, that would be great. Your plants will love that and you. Good Luck
 
Whatever nutrients were in your soil you have flushed out, If that was my plant I would start feeding it again with about half strength nutrients to start with. Good Luck
