Hello. From what you are describing, it looks a magnesium deficiency. A little epsom salt will fix her up. Dont over do it tho. Add about a half a tea-spoon to a gallon of water. Watering, Poke your finger about 3 inches in the dirt, if it's dry, water it. If its moist. let it be. You can use the "lift the pot" method to check your plants. A light pot means you need water. Heavy pot means it's cool. hope this helped, peace.

Thanks for replying .... epsom salt?... is that just normal household salt?

it's not magnesium deficiency, you only get magnesium deficiency when the plant has lived an extended life, usually you'll get it if you double or triple harvest.

How old is the plant? it looks to me you're worried about the first leaves yellowing. this is normal, over the course of it's life your plant will lose a majority of it's lower leaves.. there's nothing you can or should do about it. It's pretty normal.

You need to distinguish what are.. and are not actual plant problems.

You will never have a magnesium deficiency with a 2 week old plant.

The plants are experiencing a nitrogen deficiency. Have you started to fertilize them yet?
