Help autoflower problems

[ENelson723]

Hey all new grower here just want some opinions on what’s goin on so I have 12 autopots temps between 65-80 3gal pots with coco and hydroton 50/50 running gh nutes I think I had a lock out which caused the nitrogen def I had a lot of salt build up on the tops of my pots which from what I’ve read is normal with the autopot system so I flushed all the pots until I was reading the same run off as what was going in which was 90ppm(500 scale) and ph 5.8-6.0 last night but I checked today and it seems like have gotten more brown since last night I’m running a 4-5-1 micro gro bloom ratio with diamond nectar armor si calmag and liquid kool bloom any advice is appreciated here’s a few pics I took a video but I can’t upload it of my babies all popped on July 6th

I popped June 28ish. Look at mine. You are doing beautifully. Just give them a rinse. A 7 day rinse. If you still have any issue, I’d be dumbfounded.

but, I’m also a newbie. So don’t listen... but if you kindve listen, it’ll help.

What PPM are you feeding at?

Are you allowing the PH to drift? Ideally 5.7-6.5 ish before resetting.

 

[KrunckleSam]

I’ve not been able to figure that out. But there is a range for a mmj plant (I call it that “mmj” because it’s a natural remedy. If it’s someone and their friends, I actually don’t care about you.) But this is the best I have. I’m in the range.

I know the light intensity isn’t right. I put it (The meter) on the far side of the plant, and blocked by the branches. It’s not accurate.

I use fox farm. It’s hot, this is it-

(I use it as directed.)

I set it to 5.8 in the res and then it usually drifts up to 6.3 6.5 and then I reset it back to 5.8 and idk cuz I was going off the 700 scale not realizing that was a different scale I wanna say around 800-900 now they are being fed 900ppm at 500 scale

In the end, just measure consistently, regardless of what scale your using....your plants won't care and you have a reference point.
Is it still spreading? How's the new growth? All in all they look pretty sweet!

I must’ve had a comment that was perceived as negative. It was edited, by the staff. I’m not sure what it was, but if I said something that was in any way offensive. Sorry. Still not sure what was edited.

I have been and I checked today it seems like they are still showing signs of burn definitely some phosphorus deficiency in some we shall see I may flush again and abandon the whole autopot system and just hand water till I get this figured out cuz it took almost 70 gallons to flush everything and I was up till 430 in the morning and I don’t want to do this multiple times lol but thank you this is my first grow solo so I have a little experience growing with a friend of mine but so far I’m pretty happy with the results. Already have plans for a New current culture system

I wanna say you should lower your next feeding to rule out a lockout - (700 ppm at the X5 scale) but somebody with more experience might be better off to help troubleshooting. While i use the GH lineup - I follow the Lucas formula to keep it even simpler (I've only got the one recent grow completed). If that's something that interests you (it can be done using just the micro and bloom) there's a link in my signature for some good reading.

@BeanTownFan420 any chance you can assist ?

How do your roots look can you see them?Some cultivars react different from others in the same res some plants may look fine while others look sick if in same res you may not be able to change much.

I can only see one plants roots and that’s just because it is poking through the pot and it’s white and looks healthy a little brown at the very tip but that’s because it’s hanging out of the pot like 10 inches and yes all in the same res these are auto flowers I wanna say week 8 total I can’t do math atm but they were popped July 6 so only a few more weeks should I just abandon the res and hand water till they’re ready for harvest...
