very new to this so excuse my ignorance. Initial two serrated leaves yellowing out see picture. Thought maybe overwatering so stopped watering for three days and checked with moisture meter they were pretty dry. Added moisture to green zone on meter. Then thought lack of nitrogen so mixed up some fish fertilizer and sprayed leaves the started coming back to green but every morning they're back to yellow. What am I doing wrong here cause I'm positive given my greeness that I'm sucking the greeness out of my beloved plants

I think he means what kind of soil, are you adding nutes, etc. That's what I was going to ask, anyway
I'm using promix soil has perlite and peat mostly
Using fish fertilizer as topical to keep them alive while I figure this out also using fox farms grow big twice a week

Was thinking maybe nute lockout but leaves don't appear gloss and dark green ? But then again WTH do I know which is why I'm here and thank you all for the assist

When you say your soil PH is 6.8, is that your PH'd feed water, your run off water or did you take a soil sample? Most guys running PRO-MIX are PH'ing in the high 5's low 6's (if you google there's a whole soiless medium commentary on it so it's not soil and it's not hydro). I'm using PRO-MIX BX and I've had good luck around that 6.2 range, though recently I've had some yellowing of the bottom leaves myself (starting week 9). The plants do look a little root bound, so I would consider translating them shortly. I use the FF trio, generally dosing at about 50% of their recommended dosage and following their feeding schedule. Note, the feeding schedule has you using Big Bloom from seeding stage through first week alone as to not burn them and then blending in Grow Big on week 2. I also add CalMag, since i'm running RO water.

The issue is those tiny pods. They've already outgrown them. Transplant to a bigger container and they'll take right off.

You did great it just needs more room now. You succeeded and didnt know the signs...it needs more soil which will have the N it needs to grow bigger and healthy.
