very new to this so excuse my ignorance. Initial two serrated leaves yellowing out see picture. Thought maybe overwatering so stopped watering for three days and checked with moisture meter they were pretty dry. Added moisture to green zone on meter. Then thought lack of nitrogen so mixed up some fish fertilizer and sprayed leaves the started coming back to green but every morning they're back to yellow. What am I doing wrong here cause I'm positive given my greeness that I'm sucking the greeness out of my beloved plants

Using fish fertilizer as topical to keep them alive while I figure this out also using fox farms grow big twice a week
Was thinking maybe nute lockout but leaves don't appear gloss and dark green ? But then again WTH do I know which is why I'm here and thank you all for the assist
 
When you say your soil PH is 6.8, is that your PH'd feed water, your run off water or did you take a soil sample? Most guys running PRO-MIX are PH'ing in the high 5's low 6's (if you google there's a whole soiless medium commentary on it so it's not soil and it's not hydro). I'm using PRO-MIX BX and I've had good luck around that 6.2 range, though recently I've had some yellowing of the bottom leaves myself (starting week 9). The plants do look a little root bound, so I would consider translating them shortly. I use the FF trio, generally dosing at about 50% of their recommended dosage and following their feeding schedule. Note, the feeding schedule has you using Big Bloom from seeding stage through first week alone as to not burn them and then blending in Grow Big on week 2. I also add CalMag, since i'm running RO water.
