hey i got two ice and a white widow just wondering my ice's are starting to yellow a bit. Im not giving them any nuts atm. Is it a nitrogen deficiency or should i give them some nutes? There only about 3 -4 weeks old. The white widow is perfect though maybe the strain needs different amounts of things then the ice? anyone help?>

Nutes in soil often last the first 3-4 weeks, so it sounds like its time.

They all have different strengths. Start off carefully with less than what is recommended on the bottle and watch how they react.
Often people use 1) water +fert, 2) water + fert, 3) just water.
E.g. every third watering is without ferts, so the soil doesnt fill up with salts from the ferts.

thanks i was going to start with just a capful but the every third time not nuteing helps. My last grow my boy burned all of our shit to death and why we had to restart from seed. -=[

Not knowing what brand or concentrate you're using, I think a cap sounds a but much.

I'm using half a cap for 3 19-day-olds of a nute that has Nitrogen: 7.

I suffered from overwatering after flushing because I thought I had too high nutes.
Turns out it was probably just the lamp and maybe a touch of nute burn (sensitive clones).

Took a week for the soil to dry up during which time I saw they were in dire need of nutes - but I couldn't feed them because of the wet soil. Tried foliage feeding eventually, but that doesn't do much for cannabis, apparently.

When the soil finally dried out, I began to water only a little around the actual stem with a weak dilution of nutes, and just dampening the rest of the soil. This meant it dried out quickly and I could water them often with small amounts of nutes and monitor the reaction more easily.

I don't know whether others would go the same way, but it worked quite nicely for me.
