This might be pretty useful to some of the newcomers inhere, who aren't 100% sure what they are doing in terms of feeding and diagnosing deficiencies.

First of all notice how dark "Leaf A" is but they're not shiny/glossy looking.
Also: the tips are not elongated wich happens quiet drasticly when you overfeed them regardless if they are indica or sativa heavy.
So a good indicator for me personally, that they are as a matter of fact not overfed!
Now take a look at the suspect on the right aka. "Leaf B". Exactly the same plant just the bottom node.
It's yellowing BUT: No pink or yellow veins and we're still in veg. So pretty much you can rule out potassium and phosphorus deficiency I'd say.
What's left: Nitrogen!
Looking at my chart Nitrogen is ofc a mobile nutrient that's exactly why it's they bottom leaves that are "suffering".
Deffo not the lights either since the tops would have suffered even more, right? (duh!)
I wish everybody love peace and happiness from the heart and may your buds be winners my fellow 420-lovers!

I really wanna emphasize this one more time, so please hear me when I'm saying:
it's ALOT easier to diagnose your plants when ure slightly UNDERFEEDING rather than OVERFEEDING!!!
ALSO: it's cheaper and better for the environment!!!
