Hello everyone. Fairly new grower seeking tips, ideas, suggestions, etc...
Currently growing 4 plants under LED in a small tent (all specs below). For the most part, the plants seem healthy and everything is moving right along. But for some reason unknown to me, every time I water, whether it be with plain, ph'd tap water, or with nutrient solution, the tops of the plants and the newest/youngest growth will yellow slightly for a day or two. It always recovers and looks good with no yellow at all after about 2 days, but it seems to be a regular thing, so I am not sure what I am missing. My best guess, is that the ph of the soil is off, but the runoff tells me that it is not (6.2-6.4average). I balance the water and nutrient solution always before watering, but still see the problem with each watering. I don't believe I am over watering either. Barely watering to any runoff. It seems to be persistent whether I water with no runoff or with a lot of runoff. Also occurs whether I use nutes or just give plain water. I still see the problem. I don't worry too much about it, because they do recover swiftly, and I suspect it a little late to do much about, but if I can learn something moving forward, that would be great. Below are the specs. Any help or ideas are much appreciated.
