Need a little help with my plant (nutrient burn or deficiency?)

Just started growing for my first time, everything was going great till recently. The whole bottom of my plant has turned yellow over the course of the last week... especially the last couple of days. I have 4 plants and the plant in question is the only one turning yellow. I recently gave them nutrients and I was worried it was nutrient burn, I watered to try and dilute the nutrients -- none of my other plants have any yellowing.

My question is: Is this nutrient burn or nitrogen deficiency?

Thanks so much peeps!

Less than 4 weeks. First time feeding -- I did give this plant a bit more water (with nutrients) than the others.

I'm thinking they are hungry. What nutes are you using? What medium are they in? How much water are you giving them? You should give them a good watering. The outside of your medium looks dry

I used the Fox Farm Big Bloom. They're in normal organic soil and I've been watering every time the soil is dry to the knuckle (I'm very new!).

Whoa! I have noticed a couple -- I didn't think anything of it till you just posted that. It happened twice and it did occur to me as funny cause I'm growing indoors and never seen insects in our place.

I know what you used...I use it as well. Did you give the plants full strength? If so, this plant is much to young for that much nutes. I always start at 1/4 strength and build by 1/4 strength to full strength feeding every 2nd watering. Also, 4 weeks is certainly old enough to transplant...Recommended...Transplant into the finishing pot to avoid additional transplanting.

I probably did give it full strength. I actually just transplanted it to this pot for finishing -- thought it would help dilute the nutrients, but it's still turning yellow.

How big is that pot?

And for future reference...adding water or transplanting to dilute nutes is futile. The plant will consume the water and add to the problem, not fix it. Once the nutes are in, there's no way to get them out.

Also do you have a feeding schedule for fox farm? As stated above start out 1/4 strength. Then move up slowly. I used fox farm first grow in soil and never maxed out according to the feed schedule with out burning my plants. As the saying goes less is more. I agree they should go into the final pot as well

I don't have a schedule -- I noticed yellowing and stopped altogether. Also, these photos are misleading, the plant is fairly large and the pot they're in now is very large.

Thanks, y'all! I got some gnat paper already and going to really track my watering and nutz schedule.

Ff big bloom doesnt look like it has any nitrogen really whatsoever. .01-.03-.07

Not much of anything there for vegging plants.
