What’s going on?

This keeps happening to me. The first true set of leaves keep turning yellow at around 20 days. I fed 1/4 strength top dressing about a week ago and 3/4 strength today. Roots original, hlg135 rspec,78 degrees, 58% rh. 4” intake, fabric pots off the ground. What’s going on?

That's normal... your fans are shading them, and drawing spare nutrients out of them, because they aren't needed any more. Think of the little booster rockets on the space shuttle detaching when they're all used up.
If the new growth looks healthy, just think of it as being on the second stage heading into orbit!

I love the way you put that! Here’s a pic of the whole plant. 20 days.

It's happy! No worries!

What kinda jeeps are you into? I had a 1985 cj7 for years As an eternal project toy I spent more time tinkering on than driving! Both were fun though. I learned a lot about valve sludge and starter fluid from that little beast. I miss it but OMG... it came from a scrap yard and never stopped reminding me I was interrupting its retirement lolol

I had a 97 tj. I miss her dearly. Her name was Martha as you could probably guess. Some day I’ll get into another one. I hope.
