Pest or deficiency?

[Amberd2096]

Hey looking for some opinions in what you all might think this could be...growing 2 autos, 6 weeks old indoor, in soil, botanicare nutes...they look perfectly fine and healthy besides a few lower leaves doing this. Only noticed this morning

Have you checked under the leaf for any other signs? Check there and see if you can spot anything.

I've just checked under leaves and also shook them on white paper and I dont see anything

My guess is nutrient deficiency, the paleness may be the lack of nitrogen as well as potassium.
Really hard to make a better deduction without seeing the complete plant. Some nutrients are mobile which caused different leaf conditions between the bottom leaves and upper newish leaves.
Perhaps take a picture of the whole plant and post.

I may be totally wrong but do those lower leaves look like a moisture issue? I had lower fan leaves on my last grow touching the soil and they looked similar. Definitely could be a nutrient deficiency still but just making an observation.

Not a pest; it's a nutrient issue. And, no, I cannot tell you which, I'm too fuzzy. Take a look at one of the nutrient deficiency/toxicity pictorial threads. Or hope @Emilya notices my request for her to help you, and isn't busy.

Well... When a person who can't remember what he ate last tells you it's not a pest issue, lol, he could be wrong. But I don't think it is.

I suspect an iron deficiency at the top and a phosphorus deficiency down below. Together they make me wonder if you are underfeeding.

This quick deficiency guide may help, after seeing these pics, I'm convinced it is nutrient def.

The webpage; NPK Industries Mighty and RAW Soluble Nutrients and Microbes sells NPG granules that are recommended to add to your regular feed as needed. Also there is a ton of info to view.

Quick Deficiency Guide
Nitrogen: Entire plant is light green in color; lower leaves are yellow; growth is stunted.
Phosphorous: Entire plant is bluish-green, often developing a red or purpleish cast; lower leaves may be yellow, drying to a greenish-brown to black color; growth may be stunted.
Potassium: Leaves have a papery appearance; dead areas along the edges of leaves; growth is stunted.
Magnesium: Lower leaves turn yellow along the tips and margin and between the veins; the lower leaves wilt.
Calcium: Young stems and new leaves die.
Zinc: Leaf tissue between the veins is lighter in color; yellowed; papery in appearance.
Iron: Leaf tissue appears yellow, while the veins remain green.
Copper: Leaf edges appear dark green or blue; leaf edges curl upward; young leaves permanently wilt.
Sulfur: Young leaves turn pale green, while the older leaves remain green; plant is stunted and spindly.
Mananese: Growth is stunted; lower leaves have a checkered pattern of yellow and green.
Molybdenum: Leaves are stunted, pale green, and malformed.
Boron: Young leaves are scorched at tips and margins.

Thanks everyone, I'm gonna switch over my nutrients to what I was using my first grow ..this is only my second grow so still lots to learn...I think you guys may be right about deficiencies and under feeding as the nutrients I was using dont have much in them...see what happens from here thanks again
