They have looked good up until now. They are currently in their 1 gallon pots. I use ffof soil with 25% perlite. 4 150w equiv. 5700k cfl bulbs. Water when it looks dry (around 3 days). 80-84 degrees and 40-50% humidity. I noticed the bottom leaves changing color a bit and slowly started to yellow over a few days so from what I had been informed I got some nutes(pic above) to try and solve a nitrogen deficiency. I watered them with it yesterday and after 24 hours they looked perky but the leaves closer to the bottom have only Gorton more yellow and one leaf has a brown spot. Can anyone help me out with what he issue could be and any solutions? (Oh and they have been topped a week or so ago)

Forget the yellowing leaves. They are history. Focus on the newer growth.

Buy a magnifying glass. Use it to REGULARLY inspect the entire plant. Including under the leaves. An ounce of prevention beats a pound of cure any day. If you notice insects immediately or quickly before they start screwing and laying eggs you stay ahead of the game.

Calcium and magnesium in tapwater are large molecule and plants have an extremely hard time taking it up. Instead use Epsom or commercial Cal-Mag additives for plants.

ok yeah, start out with a half dose and see how she does...everytime you water you are feeding that plant when using the FF soil for upto 4 wks. FF line lacks cal/mag so give it a dose. If you see improvement just from the transplant then stick with half a dose every feeding. once they go into flower cycle i give mine half tablespoon every feeding per 1 gallon of water including the ff nute line
