Wait, what’s your feeding schedule?
Give us more info.
Lights, humidity, temps I could go on and on.

Im sorry guys, my phone is really causing me a lot of trouble, I promise I'm not retarded. If any MOD can fix the title that would be great. It should say "cause"

I'm using Mega Crop. 3gal smart pot, GSC auto. 6 weeks old. I used 3g/gal of Mega crop with a bit of cal mag. Problem is the very next day, i forgot to twll the person that helps me out not to water so that person did it again, so 2 feedings in a row with half a gallon each day. I think there might be to much nitrogen on top of ovwrwatering. I transplanted to a 5 gal to see if that would help. Looks like it might have helped. A few of the leaves arw yellowish with brown spots and random leafs are clawing. The plant is about 24" to 30" ish. Grown from seed, in a 6ft tent. 260w QB LED, in coco loco.

Slow down, get a calendar and make a feeding schedule. Who does what, day by day. Overall she looks over nutes over watered. Let her dry out, then a good bone meal flush. She’ll bounce back. And ph is very important. Sorry though, I might out my league with led lights

You know, i think it might be root bound. Ill grab some more pics tomorrow but i figured 3 gal pot would be good with an auto flower. I re potted one today to 5 gal and there was very little soil that wasnt bound up in the root mass. Ill have to wait and see how she does.

Unlikely. In coco and hydro, the plant doesn't need as much room as soil. I'd back off on the nutrient concentration 25-40% from what you are using ( I never run more than 2/3 of manufacturer's recommendation) and try that for a week.

You got N tox for sure an looks like something else too. Maybe P def. Is your pH consistent? Could also be N locking out other stuff or salt build up from coco overdrying. You really need to start sharing some info. 3g/gal is not enough to know, you'll have to want to start using a ppm pen.

I use 3g of Mega crop per 1 gallon water. And a half T spoon of cal/mag. I ph to 6.5 in water. I just did a soil ph test and the color came back fitting the 6.5 mark on the provided color coder. I just planted 3 more plants since I feel like these might die, pretty much me starting over. Ill be more careful in my watering and feedings.



The GSC (tallest one), I flushed with 10 gallons of fresh water and moved her to a 5 gallon pot with dry soil and some great white mycos. I hope it helps but ill chuck her by Monday if she doesnt recover. For now I'm stepping back, I'm problably doing more harm than good. I'm leaving town for a few days to relax and let go of some stress. It hurts not seeing them happy. They looked so beautiful a week ago :( oh well.

How close are your grow lights? They seem a little crispy but its hard to tell without seeing them in person.
