First grow day 18, everyone tell me, how am I doing??

This is my first grow ever. My set up is 2 400 MH bulbs and the total is 27 plants. The smaller ones were planted later due to late germination, but the majority are on day 18. The 'S' and 'T' are Skunk #1 and Twilight, the other 2 are some strains from some friends, they seem to be doing just as good. Everything was amazing up until yesterday where I noticed a lot of yellowing on many of them on the lower leaves which is making me very sad. I thought I'd been doing well up until I saw this and has really made me feel shitty... I searched and I am not overwatering, underwatering and am letting my water set out for 24 hours minimum before using it. Also not feeding yet. Not sure what the reason is, hopefully it doesn't get worse...Please any feed back is greatly appreciated.

I think you should try giving them a tiny bit of nutrients, solved the same problem with mine.

I'm going to purchase some tomorrow, so after about 2 weeks you got some yellowing and after feeding they became green again or just stopped getting worse?

some pictures? i saw you posted in my journal, where did you bought your seeds (Skunk #1?) i have them from Sensiseeds.

Hey,

I had them up and nobody posted for a couple of days so I just took them down. My skunk #1 and twilight are both Dutch Passion, bought them locally here from a store lol pretty messed up city. I might take some updated pics tonight since they look healthier since I fed them...

as you can see everybody is interested with it's own profile, but i'm sure there are enough people to watch your grow as well. so just post those pics and don't be sad.

lol ok I will do so in a couple of hours I cant find the old pics :s

OK so here they are after 18 days off veg. As you can see they are quite grown up but the yellowing is really starting to get to me. Although it isn't getting worst (ignore the nute burn on the couple of you can spot it), Im affraid it MIGHT get worst and spread to the newer leaves. I yanked off about 3 leaves today because they were already toast...any help? Suggestions? thanks guys

Some more pics...

S= Skunk #1
T= Twilight
D= unknown..
C= from someone who claimed it was 'good shit'

nice plants. these are the latest pics you made? because i can't see yet the difference between my Skunk #1, and yours...

Looks really good, thats gonna be a lot of crops in the end

great success!!!

Thanks guys, I just hope the yellowing doesn't get worse. I also hope I get at least 15 fems...

haha everyone wishes they'd get a lot of females, i kno i sure would

lol well 15 Id be more than happy cuz thats more than 50%...

In your pictures the yellowing is on the lowest leaves. This is very common for cannibis plants and many other plants. I would expect them to shrivel up and die and the rest of the plant to be fine. If you find this yellowing to continue, then I would consider it a problem. Leaves die, so does your skin.

well what you should do is weed out all the males by making clones, and then keep the first females as mothers, and have a rotating schedule of flowering stages, like this:

Thanks, I guess you're right. I thought this as well since some plants are days apart and in ALL 4 strains when they reached maturity of about 15 days same thing. Should let them die on their own or just yank them off? Some have already shriveled up and just require a tap to fall.

I will do something similar but depending on how many fems I get, I want to keep about 4 moms and flower what I can asap since I am a bit eager. I think 4 moms produce way more clones than needed, right?

It depends on how much space you got really. it you can get 4 clones every 2 weeks off of your moms and you have the space and lighting to grow them, than do it.
