my plants are under 3 40w and 1 60w cfl's
they are in organic soil with 20% pearlite and 10% peat mix
they are about 2 weeks old

i have not started feeding them nutes yet because the soil says on it "feeds for up to three months" and i didnt want to burn them

two of my plants , the largest of the bunch, have leaves turning light green then yellowing from the bottom up and tips in. i believe this is nitrogen deficiency so i have purchased urea and have mixed a small amount into the top inch or so of the soil.

i have also fed those two with an 8-7-6 liquid nutrient solution at half strangth

my questions are

1. does this sound like nitrogen deficiency?

2. do you think what i have done will solve the issue?

3. although it doesn't say this will work in my garden saver book, if i dissolve the urea i have , which is 45-0-0, in water will the plants be able to absorb it?

i tested it and the urea i have will dissolve in water i just dont know if the plants can take it in.
