Hi I'm a new grower. I started out three plants and they were all doing good for a week or two , but the leaves started turning yellow an dying. I think i might be over watering it somewhat. But I'm cutting back on it. Ill try to attach some pictures. Any help would be much appreciated.

What are your environmental variables?
what are you growing in? Soil? Soiless?
what lights are you using?
what watering frequency are you using?
how often are you applying nutes?
your question is a kin to me asking you why is my stomach upset without giving you any info if I’ve been unwell or eaten something that was bad etc.

I started off with those seed starter plugs. Then put it in fox farm ocean forest potting mix. I'm using a mars hydro ts 600 led light in a 2 x2 x5 grow tent. The temp is 75-80 degrees F. Humidity is 30-45%. watering was every day but cut way back. (every 2 days) I haven't applied nuts yet, im waiting for the soil to dry out first then will start adding fox farms big grow and big bloom( slowly ). The plants are 24 days old and have a 18/6 light cycle.

Sounds like you are still trying to water on a schedule; which is fine when they are bigger and you know the routine. However at this stage you need to wait until the containers are lite. Let them get to the point of nearly wilting and feel the weight of the pot, now flood them until you have some good runoff. Repeat. They must have wet and dry cycles to keep the roots from rotting and give them oxygen.

This ^^! Overwatering is the prime cause of death in all plants kept by humans. Determine dryness by weight. Start at transplant before you water. Feel it multiple times. Every time you transplant. Then pick up the container to feel its weight.Sounds like you are still trying to water on a schedule; which is fine when they are bigger and you know the routine.
