New Grower First grow ever! Northern lights AF

Yea deff looks like 3 different plants. Should be a good comparison to help other people out as far as what to expect for a yield. I started to see a few of the white hairs last week but am really starting to notice them coming in now. There doesn't look like they have very many bud sites right now but I assume that will change during the preflower and flower stage? They will put on a bit of mass during flower. Also I noticed some of the stems of the fan leafs were purpleish. Starting to look really nice and smell very potent. Thanks for everyones help so far!!
 
So is it normal for the lower fan leaves to start turning yellow?? I've also noticed there are some yellow spots on a few leaves. I don't know if its a nitrogen problem because the nutes I've used have nitrogen in them. I only mix about 25% of the recommended dose. Could it be from lack of light?
 
It is normal for some bottom leaves to die off, especially towards the end of its' cycle. The spots sounds like a cal/mag deficiency, but hard to say for sure without pics. :D
 
The end of what cycle? The flower cycle? They are the first set of fan leaves and only on 1 plant. How could I test to see if its a cal/mag issue?
 
Ok well here are some pics of the plants. Its only really bad on one. the other two have a few very small spots but nothing like this one. All get the same water and used the same medium.

Hi Calvin,

Just wanted to say hi, I'm also on my first ever grow, also with Northern Lights (also Critical Mass). Reading your thread with interest, you're ahead of me so I'm paying close attention to what you're doing and any issues you run into.
Despite the things you are worrying about, to my untrained eyes your girls look like they're growing really well. My NL only went in to the soil last night, and already has two pairs of leaves - had one pair just from germinating!!
I wish you good luck and a good yield :)
 
Haha thanks farmer :)
Day 38
I have started to notice the bed sites on my taller plant were starting to get crystally. (Even a word?) lol. Anyways there is also some crystals on some of the I guess the are called sugar leaves? The ones coming from the bud or around it. Anyways is this an indication of the start of the flower period? I can tell the vertical growth has pretty much stopped. Thanks for the help guys :)
 
Ok so i noticed today that some of the lower fan leafs are starting to get a lighter green color. Is this something that i should be worried about? So me sort of deficency? Also some of the white hairs have reddish/orange tips? Can someone please let me know if any of these two things are an issue? Thanks!!
 
Ok so I'm at about day 41 or 42 and I think some of my problems are that I have been given veg nutes and I need bloom nutes. What are some nutes that I can get from Home Depot or lowes? In town now and want to pick some up. Hydro store is closed.
