Yellow Leaves, First Grow, Please help

[whatishigh]

Hi Guys,

I'm new to this website but it looks like everyone is pretty knowledgeable and it looks like a fun place to hang out. I am currently on my first grow. I used bag seeds for this go around and will be starting some nirvana ice seeds in a few days in a different container. I have 2 plants growing in a 32 gallon storage tote. One plant is doing quite well, while the other one has developed dry, yellow leaves. The one that is currently having problems started out growing much better than the other one, and now it is the complete opposite. Hopefully someone on here will be able to help me figure out what is wrong and how i can fix it. I am including pictures that will hopefully help. If you need any other information please ask. Thanks in advance.

looks like nute burn to me...miracle grow soil can be hot and does not need any nutes for about 3-4 weeks and each transplant into fresh soil is like giving them nutes...so stop feeding and for future runs check the top link in my sig...a detailed guide for getting more females from seed! i want to see some girls from those ICE seeds:thumbsup:

thanks for the fast response. After doing some research I was guessing it may have been because of the MG, but i wasnt sure because the other plant in the same mixture is doing just fine. Is there any way to cure the nute burn or should i just stop feeding it for a while? Thats an awesome guide too by the way, ill be following that.
