Yellow bottom leaves

So just the bottom shoots are going a bit yellow. I’m thinking it was a nitrogen deficiency or not enough light getting below so I tied them around to get good light in. Any help with diagnosing the issue is much appreciated. ED012784-E90C-412C-B9F3-1BC59BE40A22.jpegBD452117-D345-4AB7-BD20-51D6FE5ECA49.jpegED2FD4A2-2C38-45BF-BC0A-3E0A3A76CEBD.jpeg

All I can think of right now is a potassium deficiency or a small ph imbalance but I’m not gonna say it is I would go with what bully says and just wait it out a little to diagnose it.

Could be right also, she may be asking for more nitrogen. If it starts getting more yellow and you see it going up the plants afflicting the rest it’s a nitrogen deficiency.
That was my initial thought because N deficiency starts on the older growth usually... and the oldest growth is at the bottom.

When a plant is hungry itll start to cannibalize itself...using nutrients that are stored in the leaves...always from the bottom up hence the yellow leaves on the bottom of ur plant...since it's in veg hit her with a dose of nitrogen

True a nitrogen deficiency does start on older leaves moving to newer and newer.

Id say you're right, id just bump up feeds a lil and you should be sweet. I wait for my plants to show the same signs to know when to bump up the feed
I gave her a good feed today. I usually give a bit more diluted feed because I have some compost mixed in with dry amendments. Maybe I need to feed more often whenever I water or feed she drinks it up so quickly. Thanks man appreciate it.

My water ph is around 7. Maybe 7.2 on the high end. But she’s a beast she drinks it all up so quickly. Thanks man gave her a good feed today if not I’ll see about potassium.
