hi guys this is my first time posting here but I've been reading threads for a while. Currently have a few plants with some yellow on the leaves, almost looks like the were gouged.
If it is anything I cought it early, but I can't recognize whats going on, any insight?

Thanks a ton and happy growing :)

Also for reference. This is week 5 of veg. I am running an advanced nutrient regime with connesiour being the base (b52, tarantula, piranha, big bud, fish shit are the supplements). pH seems okay 6.8 -7. I water 2 - 3 times per week at 1 gal per plant.

I noticed these leaves when i was transplanting to a bigger container. I have others and only this one looks this way.

Not a deficiency from what I see. That looks more like external damage. Any number of things could have caused it. If this is the only instance watch it or remove the leaf out of paranoia(I've done it)

Soil 50/50 happy frog and ocean forest mix. Hoping its just external damage. Thats what i first thought but a few more leaves have it than just one which made me alarmed. Ill grab some bettet pics this morning

Heres the better picture i promised. Adjusting pH tonight and we will see where she goes. I have calmag but i may wait to add it to see if im addressing the correct defiency (more or less so i can learn)

From what I've seen the yellowing toward the edges is definitely mechanical damage, more than likely some sort of little bug. There is a slight calcium shortage in your new growth. The slight yellowing of your new leaves in the middle. I don't think anything will reverse the mechanical damage. I'd pluck it and get a bug spray.
