Hey guys, can you tell me what is going on with these yellow leaf edges? They are in roots organic and they are not being fed anything.

If you are not feeding them anything, then it looks like they are being burned by the nutrients in the soil.

I agree, it's the soil. I had a cat knock over 1 of my babies and soil sat on her leaves for IDK how long, but long story short she's comin' back and looking good, just let her be and give her nothin but water till it stops and she'll be ok

Well that's some BS. So I have to flush the soil then? Isn't it just going to release more nutes back out, since it's organic?
NOOO..don't flush, just water when needed and not too much at a time, a little at a time is better than a bunch at once, the longer the soil is wet the longer those nutes are being released, so keep it dry if you can and water toward the edges not the stalk...

You need to measure pH and EC of your soil, your runoff, and your source water before anybody can do anything but guess.

And by BTW when they get bigger (and they will) they'll be beggin for more than the soil can give em...GL

Beleive me had/have the same prob...and some of the successful growers (that I've talked with) said, "Leave it alone, it will snap back" but if you feel you must do something (like me..lol) mix 1 table spoon of epsom salts w/1 gal of water and feed it about a half to a whole cup (measuring cup) only give once a month (I've only given it to mine once)
Here's mine on the bad side..she had it bad..but she's comming back 3 days after giving her a shot of epsom = magnesium sulfate...which your plant uses anyhow for overall health..

Ah, that sounds like great advice. In fact, this started right after I watered the crap out of them. I'll start watering less, but more often and I'll stay to the edges and see if it helps. Thanks!

Umm that looks like magnesium deficiency to me folks....
Could it be a deficiency? It kind of looks like some of the pictures in guide. Here are some more pics from today.

These pics are from a different strain but in the same soil:

And another strain, tiny little plant. Pretty much all yellow, though this leaf looks greenish. 3rd pic is from the underside.

I thought soil was supposed to be easy.

Whoever told you growing pot was easy has done it for a very long time or has never done it correctly. There are so many variables to account for.

I say burn, do a light flush.
I don't think that flushing organic soil would help if they are burning. I think it would release more nutrients. I haven't fed these plants and they have been in this soil for 2 weeks. This just started the other day, about 24 hours after watering them with straight distilled water (0 EC and 7.0ph). I did water in some Mykos beneficial fungus, which is supposed to allow the roots to absorb the nutrients. I guess if those worked that fast, and if it can actually can cause them to take up too much nutes, then it could be burn. Otherwise, I think they are starving for something.
