Hey fellow tokers!
this is my first time growing my own plants and I've done plenty of research before I attempted. But no matter how much you read, life always seems to surprise you! Fuckin life!! Anyway I decided to try out the hempy bucket method cause I heard a lot of great things about it from other friends who tried growing and from the research I've done. I germinated my seeds a little over 3 weeks ago (started on the 17th of July!) and 3 seeds showed potential and I planted them in peat pods for another 3 days until I saw seedlings then I planted them in 100% perlite hempy buckets. They have been growing beautifully, under 2 1600 lumen daylight CFLs for 24 hours a day, and up until a few days ago I noticed the bottom leaves turning a yellowish color. I'm also a nerd and like to read published books whenever I can and I bought the Cannabis Grow Bible and in it, it said that my plants may be lacking in nitrogen. Since I'm using a light weight medium such as perlite I have been watering approximately every 2-3 days (whenever I notice that the medium feels dry) and I was planning on transplanting them this week into bigger pots so they can flourish more. But womp womp, yellow dying leaves caught my attention! So I hope someone will help a stoner gal out now and give me some advice on how I can revive these precious babies of mine so these past 3 weeks don't become a waste! I live in jersey so if it is just a nutrient deficiency, any brand names that y'all recommend to use would be perfect because that is mainly where I am lost at. But if I'm just completely a noob and doing something wrong, please tell me cause I'm not afraid of constructive criticism and I just want to be the best ganja lady that I can be.
Here are the pics of what they currently look like today!
