Hey my plant is in the veg stage right now, its been vegging for 3 weeks now and the lower leaves are yellowing pretty bad, and as the new growth comes in the older leaves start yellowing pretty bad. I do use fertilizer every other time i water it, im using all purpose tomato miracle grow(18-18-21), but im using very tiny amounts in the water i use to water my plant, the temps in the room are at about 75F when lights are off, and about 85-90 when the lights are on(im using a 45watt CFL and another 42watt CFL), im not sure the ph of the water, but i just use tap water in a bottle and leave it on my window sill, and let it sit in the sun, i herd this gives the water nutrients by a friend of mine. but yeah take a look at the pictures, if you know what the problem is id really like to know i dont want my plant to die. thank you

doesn't look like a problem unless it persists then I MIGHT suspect a PH problem. What's your idea of light nutrients in teaspoons per gallon of water terms.

uh it's expensive and probably not your problem.
So I'm converting 2.5 ml as 1/2 a teaspoon right ? If so that's 4 teaspoons per gallon. That would be full strength, too strong and the damage is probably nutrient burn.

so should i just water with normal water for the next little while? and do you think i should get some new fertilizer, or will miracle grow work when the plant is a little bigger, i will use a smaller amount of miracle grow as well.

that's all you need to do i will use a smaller amount of miracle grow as well.
that's all you need to do, try 1 teaspoon per gallon every week, and water first ('till it runs out the bottom) to wash out the leftover salts from the previous feeding.

i think you need a ph meter and you need to flush you plants with distilled water at least a gallon each ,keep a close eye on ph
