This plant started inside and wasn’t doing great so I took it outside and more or less let the rain water it for the most part. I haven’t added any nuts yet. I just transplanted to the bigger pot this weekend. But the plant started to turn yellowish green on the bottom half of the plant in the last few days. Very new to growing and I have never grown outdoors. How can I diagnose this issue? ![IMG_1947](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/e/3/2/e32589721fd39a3cff4e05afbe24cb7d2cefb5aa.jpeg) ![IMG_1946](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/7/7/9/779b1164840752b43ae669c0b6a37714ebf395dc.jpeg) ---

I think it looks fine. Try to keep in the shade part of the day. Let it gradually get used to full sunlight. ---

At that size with no nutes yet, she is hungry and the signs you can see up close are the tell tell signs of needing to feed. Do you have nute line you will be using? ---

I’m with @Bonjoyle at this point, it’s time to pick a good cannabis, friendly veg nute and start feeding. Plant needs a little NPK Good luck ✌ ---

Yellow leaves on bottom indicate nitrogen deficiency but you are probably lacking on all nutes at this point, the rain probably leached out a lot that was in the soil. Give them a good half strength feeding the next couple waters and check runoff PPMs, you’ll want 800-1000 ppm runoff and then you can feed every other watering or every third, just monitor your PPMs and adjust feed as needed to keep it in range.
