Hello, this is my first "real" attempt at growing cannabis and I've encountered a problem which I hope someone will be able to shed some light on. My plants have been growing fairly normally on my roof (13 hour day unfortunately) while waiting for my HID to arrive, which should I should have had two weeks ago if not for the astounding incompetence of the people at the blub store.

Anyways perhaps a week ago I started noticing that the leaves towards the bottoms of my plants were turning yellow, and then later wilting. Perhaps this is a natural thing, seeing as most of the plant appears to be growing in good order. It may also be some kind of nutrient deficiency, if I remember correctly a lack of zinc makes the plant take the zinc in the lower leaves and run it to the top of the plant, creating yellow leaves. Again I may be remembering this wrong, I read the Indoor "Bible" but it was a while ago.

In accordance with Occam's razor my first step in solving this was to move my plants from the small pots they sprouted from into larger pots to see if this was perhaps the reason. I've yet to see if this solves anything.

I included some pictures so you can see the wilting I'm talking about and (I hope) someone, or if I'm lucky many people, will be able to tell me what is going on and how to remedy the situation. Thanks alot in advance!

Is there some way to place images inside a post on this forum? I tried HTML and it didn't work, so heres the links:
