Yellowing leaves

[GreenPlant]

As a total newcomer to growing outdoors, I seem to have had more problems than growing indoors--whitefly, caterpillars etc. But this problem of the leaves beginning to yellow through an almost translucent green seems to be the most worrying. please help.

From where I am, I don't see a problem at all.

Maybe a picture would help, or more information, or both.

I'm growing plants outdoors where the outside temperature is around 30ºC. The plants are outdoors all day. I water them every day and give them fertiliser. Sunrise is about 7am and sundown about 9pm so they're in the sun quite a lot. When growing indoors I didn't seem to have any problems, a few burnt leaves when they touched the lights but nothing like this.

My first thought is since you are growing in a container, the size of it is going to become an issue if it is not already. You may need to go larger.

Second I would like to know what your growm medium is, nutes you are using and PH.

You are not at the panic stage yet, it looks like the plant has grown, bushy and healthy so far, we just need to figure out why it's not completely happy.

Can't remember the name of the soil but it was specially for marijuana plants and the fertilizer I use is Terra Vega (CANNA - THE SOLUTION FOR GROWTH AND BLOOM) a single component fertilizer for growth and bloom. I haven't checked the PH yet but I will do and let you know what that is. Thanks for the help.

Yeah outside you're going to want to use atleast a 5 gallon container and its really best to use something twice that size. otherwise its going to get root bound bad. It appears to be a sativa dominant strain so its going to grow big.

Water it a couple of days with plain water to start to clear out any excess nutes then check its root ball and see if it is ready (probably is) to transplant to a larger container.

Thanx killerweed420 for confirming my initial feeling of pot size first.

ok, i'll replant them in bigger containers and rinse them out for a couple of days and see if that helps....thanks for your help and suggestions!
