Leaves turning yellow.. (Light Deficiency?)

[rtylerSC]

So Im new to growing but I have some outdoor female plants, they were in a 1 gallon pot with some junk soil. They got to almost 2 feet tall and I moved them into a 5 gallon pot, some upgraded soil, and im using 2 types of fertilizer, the bloom and one other (i cant remember, im not at my house) well now I have them outside in my backyard which is pretty redwoody. I found a spot where they get minimal ammount of sunlight but plenty of ambient light. The plants seem to be growing okay, over the last few days they have gotten more leaves but a couple leaves are starting to turn yellow.

Im wondering if this has to do with the minimal ammount of light they are getting, how important is a lot of light in terms of how my plants come out. Will they do "okay" (i would understand if I didnt get the most amazing buds) or should I really really think about moving them.

With where I am there isnt much room to grow the only other spots I have are sort of exposed to neighbors etc..

Thanks for any help.

ostredx:is worth a thousand words./.if its 2 ft tall it needs all the direct sun it can get but i have not seen any plants outside turn yellow from lack of light,even if there in the shade all day..thay just dont grow thats all.could be over fert could be over water.get some pics and i am sure you will get an answer

i would say you most likely over nuked it with nutrients you should probably flush your soil and repot it but pictures would help

So I bumped up the amount of Nitrogen in my plant when I watered it last night and the leaves that were once yellow are now more greeen. I believe that was all that I needed to do.
