I am growing in organic living soil in 5 gal fabric pots. Using compost teas and sprout teas every week. I have 3 1500watt LED lights. The issue is my new growth is yellow and the new stems are weak and soft. Any help is appreciated.

A pic in normal light would help to determine the colours properly.
it looks ok to me. New growth is meant to be bright green. But you are saying it is yellow and that is where a picture in natural light would help…

It looks mine when I flip to 12/12 lighting to initiate flowering. Maybe tag some more experienced growers and add some photos in natural light, as previously recommended.

A lighter shade of green (can appear yellow) is normal among new growth as chlorophyll hasn’t had a chance to do its thing with the new growth yet.
Nothing to be concerned about.

Just a couple more comments. Yellowing like that, when it is not isolated to newer growth, is often an iron deficiency. A little supplemental iron may help. I noticed that you are organic, and therefore it may be iron deficient.
On soft stems - a couple doses of a silica product or seed sprout tea over a few waterings can help strengthen plant structure.

I appreciate all the help from growing nation. I will start to add some iron tomorrow and will follow up.
