My two girls have for a couple of weeks been getting yellowing of the larger leaves. I've tried checking for root rot. None that i could see. I've repottet them to a larger pot(from 35 l to 60l as they both did outgrow the old pot. They have been getting fertilizer about once a week.

Can anyone help me with what im doing wrong?

They are not yet in the flowering phase, am I seeing that right? They desperately need nitrogen. Is your fertilizer a special product for cannabis or just regular fertilizer? Hemp is a very fast growing plant as you can see and they need LOTS of nitrogen during growing stage.

Once they are in the flowering phase they won't be able to get nitrogen from the roots, instead they will use the leaves as reservoir. Make sure you have a very good bloom-fertilizer once they switch to flowering.

They should not be in the flowering phase. I have been using a all round fertilizer and additionally nettle tea for nitrogen but I guess it's not enough. Thank you so much! Its my first grow😊

I think any fertilizer is nitrogen rich. Besides, nitrogen deficiency shows up as yellowing of leaves without turning purple I think. Even if it’s deficient in something it might be because overwatering too as u/Thorny_Insight suggested.

Make sure you let the roots breathe from tome to time
