These girls are 31 days into flower with about 3 weeks of veg(rought start, half crop died from cold temps). Once temps got dialed in everything seemed great. one plant in particular was alwasy a lighter shade of green than the others but recently another started to yellow and show similar signs. Some of the others are having yellowing going on at bottom shade leaves. It seems to me to be some sort of difficiency that looks to be easily cured but im not sure what kind...heres some pics, let me know what you guys think.

heres a couple more of some that arnt having as bad as a problem, just a little yellowing down below. The one with multiple colas was not topped, trained, or anything. Somehow it "self topped" itself. pretty neat

Nearly every strain has an increased demand for magnesium around day 20-30.

With FNB the solution is to raise the pH till it becomes more available. With soil, I don't know if that would also work.

Hate to say it (because it's abused so much) but a TINY bit of cal/mag for the next two weeks might help that deficiency. Definitely don't use it longer than that.

Both magneisum and a very small nitrogen issue, which is fine do not correct that part, just get some magneisum into them and all will be good.

epsom salts works good, 1 tsp per gallon of water for the size of your plant.
