Hi guys, first things firts. Im a rookie (1st indoor grow) and gotta thank this community since the information is so complete it encouraged me to put my hands on the dirt.
As i said this is my 1st indoor grow, and im using an autoflower strain from kropking seeds. Today turns 1 month and ive been using 400 W HPS lamp since day 1, 18-20 Hours of light 4-6 hours of darkness. I have a fan that is almost always turned on so the plant is in a fresh enviroment. Water about every 3 days with filtered water only and mixed a couple of times (lately with this lower leaves issue) with vermicompost hummus to fertilize in case it was missing son nuts.... (I KNOW I SHOULD, but im not keeping track of the PH neither the temperature, and the soil mix i prepared didnt have any information on nutrients. its dark brown, had rocks at the bottom placed, and on top as you can see in the pictures i sprinkled some dead leaves and little branches to keep the hummidity as the lamp was drying the dirt too much (wich solved that perfectly).
Anyway, im leaving some pictures of the problem im having hopefully someone can spot the issue. Let me know if i can provide any lacking information.
Thank you! from South America, Venezuela.
