My auto cheese has looked like this for a while now. It sure what’s going on with it, my other plant is totally healthy and fine but this cheese has been struggling.

what medium are you growing in? how much of what nutes are you feeding. the helpers are gonna ask for more info broski.

im thinking either over fertilization, over watering or the plant is rootbound and needs to be up-potted. Tell us about the situation.

Unfortunately this is a very budget grow so we’re using a basic potting soil with a “plant food”(10-15-10) and actually just recently switched to a miracle grow for bloom. I know it’s garbage but all my nutes and medium has been put on this years Christmas list to family haha.

I have been having difficulty keeping things warm in my grow area which may contribute but not sure. I originally thought I was over watering and fertilizing but I let them dry right out at one point and even cut a feeding of nutes out for the cheese, no noticeable changes possible they have rooted out but they are 5 gallon pots and should be okay

another theory is basically tobacco poisoning. My fiancé likes to take photos of the plants and I’m not convinced she washing her hands after a smoke before handling

 

[Emilya Green]

have you been adjusting the pH of your fluids that hit the plant?

 

[Emilya Green]

and tell me about your watering... how do you determine that it is time to water and how much to give?

 

[SmUrFx1028]

I have not no. I realize I’ve been doing a pretty poor job so far but this is my first grow in 10 years and my first go at auto flowers

I water when I can stick my finger in the medium about half a finger down and it be dry. Also I water until I see a small trickle come out the bottom of the pot. Little under a litre each plant

 

[Emilya Green]

that is it then... you are over watering by watering too often. That and the pH thing... you really need to adjust that down to 6.3 every time you apply fluids or your nutrients are useless. Please read my Sticky thread on watering via the link in my signature, and then comment here.

Okay thanks I’ll take a look.
