Hey pullsit...a few questions
1. Are you using a flowering fert during veg....if so that would be a likely reason for yellowing.
2. If your soil(mg or whatever) is pre-ammended with nutrients then your going to want to be very careful what your feeding them for the first few weeks. They already are getting food from the soil, so water feeding maybe be a lil overkill. The soil nutrients should be used up after a few weeks and you should be able to start feeding normally.
I personally like to use base soil with no ammendments...this way i have total control of what the plant eats and when. Promix hp and bx are pretty good as is sunshine mix #4. hope this helps

I had fertilized them once and stopped realizing that they are getting the food from the soil. When I stopped doing that they started doing much better. I was using an all purpose fert. I have since bought a 15-30-15 for flowering. I just transplanted again today into the final pots for flowering and am gonna wait a bit before feeding again so they do use the soil fert. first. I will also be bying regular soil in the future. I don't like the idea of not having control over nutes either.....Thanks a lot man!

I also think i may have been overwatering them(if that could do it) they are doing wonderful now though
