Hey everyone, quick question. My babies are looking a little yellow to me and have a few brown spots. Should I be worried or am I overthinking it?

Popped 08/26
Coco coir/ perlite
Fox farms big bloom/grow big @ 1/4 strength twice a week.
Adding cal mag to my soft well water to about 300ppm and ph'd to around 6.0

Not a coco guy but I’m pretty sure you feed to runoff every time with that medium. We’ll know soon if I’m wrong lol

Yeah I think I'm paranoid, I just want to stay ahead of problems if I can. I may just try to up my nutes if it continues.

Also, I haven't been watering till runoff just because the plants are still small, I didn't want to over water even in coco. I failed to mention they are autos, that's why I'm trying to stay ahead so I don't hurt my yields.

As long as you pre buffered with calmag and food shouldnt be too long before you can start daily feeds.

I started on jiffy pellets. Transplanted maybe 2 weeks ago. I just took off the outer fabric and planted it straight in the pot.

I bought coco bliss so I wouldn't need to remove the salts. I just expanded the blocks with ph'd water and added perlite. I fed after that with waterings.
