magnesium deficiency, my guess ... are you using Reverse-Osmosis, or distilled water ? ... if so, you will need to add Cal-Mag+ to help make up for the missing minerals, and you would be better off with tapwater ... :smokin:

keep in mind that a Mg def. will start in the lower leaves and work it's way to the middle and then the top.
you can use 1 tsp of epsom salt/per gallon of water and feed foliarly for the fastest action.
you should probably fill out the troubleshooting form found in my sig to make sure you don't have any other problems.
good growing!

What kind of soil/medium are you using???Seems naked of an aerator such as perlite...I'd make a mix of 1 part perlite and 1 part earthworm castings and work it gently into the soil day by day..1/8-1/4 tsp of SuperThrive (per gallon) can help youngsters get with the program as well...MaxiCrop Liquid Seaweed is a cool veg tonic also...

the worm castings will give moderate absorption of Mg like DT said.

thanks for the info. well i used some really good soil be for i trans planted them then i seen the tips turning yellow so i started to add fertilizer witch is fish shit and worm castings along with some veg growth booster. it is showing sings of stopping the color change. i am also using tap every time i water. let me tell you about my room i am running 3 two foot floros i have pics in my profile. the room is a 2'x2'x4' mylar tent i made using two mylar blankets some trash bags as instlation and some pvc for the frame and the air inlet. i have to have a heater in it to keep it at 78 degrees and one fan to move the air. i live in the desart where it gets really cold at night i have to keep them in the garage so the smell dose not bother anyone

what is "really good soil"?
also, to reiterate what DT said, you need to add some perlite to the mix. this will improve drainage as well as aeration.
