The "dying" autos need Phosphorus and potassium.
Try this. It's a organic blooming nutrient designed to be used with the ProMix Veg n herb mix.

1/2 a tablespoon (or so) per gallon of water. It will lower ph so only add what you need until you reach ph6.5.

Thanks JimmyJames. I had put bloodmeal on them as you recommended, My most troublesome auto seemed to respond well. I removed most of the crispy areas of the leaves bit left the green parts intact. It seems to be doing better anyways. I'll add the fertilizer later today.

The other troublesome auto has deteriorated to a point that I'm not sure I can save it. I'll add fertilizer to this one too but am open to any other advice as well.

One of the other autos looks mostly good but is getting brown spots.

The fourth and final auto is doing pretty good. It's so little but all those pretty tricomes are making me happy.

Bloodmeal or bonemeal? There's a huge difference.

 

[muraydog]

Shit. I did mean bone meal.

 

[JimmyJames905]

Cool.
Blood - high in Nitrogen (great for veg)
Bone-high in Phosphorus (great for flower).

The really yellow one will be fine. You had a ph drop and it locked out PK. Because it can't uptake any PK from the soil to make glucose...it's taking the stored glucose from the leaves. Hence the yellowing/dying leaves. It'll be fine until harvest.

Phew! That's awesome.

I've been reducing the pH in the water to 6 - 6.2. Is this too low? The photos seem ok with it.

Yes. Much too low. Always 6.5.
It takes a week to see change. So any change you make now won't be seen for a week.

 

[muraydog]

Thanks again for the advice. I'll change my pH next watering.

Do you have Dolomite?

 

[muraydog]

I don't think so but am hitting the garden center tonight.

 

[JimmyJames905]

I don't think so but am hitting the garden center tonight.

K. Lowes has it for $5. Canadian tire has a 50lb bag for $10. Which is wayyyyyy too much. But a great deal.
Add a tablespoon Dolomite pellets on top of the soil and water through next watering.
You should add it every 4 weeks. It will buffer your ph to 6.5. Its cal/mag (farmers version)

[muraydog]

OMG. Am I ready to harvest?

 

[425jesse]

You will need to check your trichromes. Have you purchased a jewelers loupe? You want to see your trichs start to turn amber...then you are close and may want to consider flushing. Have you started flushing that plant yet?

 

[muraydog]

I have a jeweler's loupe but it is dirty or something and unusable. I was hoping I could tell by the little hairs.

I watered with straight water comma but wasn't given chemicals anyways. Should I remove the fan leaves? Or maybe even a few of them?

 

[muraydog]

"comma" should be ",". I was dictating verbally to my phone, lol

sent telepathically from my febreze air freshener

lmfao!

But they had a remarkable recovery from almost dead to healthy little buggers. Just a reminder from day 57:

And now

Wow! Good thing you stuck it out! Hard to believe this is the same plant!

 

[KingstonRabbi]

Holy crap! I'd forgotten how weak they were at the start!

This has got to be the comeback grow of the year (so far). +reps for that and the frosty bud above.

It looks like almost all the hairs have turned with just a few white ones. You're in the window for harvest now, but depending on the type of effects you want you could wait about a week for a little stronger stone. If your camera has an 8x zoom and you get a clear shot you may be able to judge trichs to confirm readiness.

Well done That plant is beautiful.... You had a hard road and a lot of hurtles but I gurantee you learned and everything from here will only be better.
