question about bottom leaves

[onebud]

ok so my plant has about 30 leaves now,and the first two leaves on the plant,the bottom ones,have started turning yellowish and curling down,but the rest of the plant is still growing perfectly.i have also noticed they havent grown at all and are still tiny,while most of the other leaves are much much bigger.anybody know the cause of this,how to prevent it,and how to cure it?tthanks

The light may not be reaching all the way down to the leaves at the bottom of the plant. You could get a couple CFL's and some desk lamps put shining up at the plant from the ground, or from the side.

If the yellowing starts climbing up your plant you might have nutrient deficiencies, like if the teeth around the edge start turning yellow first followed by the rest of the leaf it may be a nitrogen problem. But it sounds like my main suspect in this case would be the light.

onebud, are you talking about the cotyledon? the small, round first leaves that appeared?

by teeth i think he means the serrated leaf tips.

thanks for the replys,

this is normal. the cotyledon are merely food supplies for seedlings. if your grow medium doesn't have any nutes it's a good idea to start thinking about some.
