Look like a decent size Auto!

Can you post some closer pics of leaves and buds?

What have your temps been like?

What dimmer setting are you running your light at and how high over the plant is it?
Looks light you might need to turn the light down some, at least by the way the leaf tips/edges looks.

I use the AC Infinity bases in 1 of my tents as well, are you just using water in them or are you mixing nutes into it as well?

Now I have half full of pH. Water 5.9 a mixture of reverse osmosis with great white half and half. Before that I ran plane spring water pH 5.8

Here is more pictures of my setup.

Does your fertilizer have calmag in it? Looks like a Magnesium deficiency to me.

That's what I've been thinking... I have Epsom salts and cal Mag. I gave her a big feeding of cal-mag about a week and a half ago. My Coco is enriched with magnesium as well but I'm not going to count on that. August 10th was when I first saw pistols. Just to give you an idea how long it's been flower.

It has a little but here's the thing.. since I top fed the soil and now I'm using the base pot by an AC Infinity it only absorbs the very bottom halfway of the fabric pot. The other top half is not real wet. That's where the nutrients are. I am pretty sure that's why I have a few leaves scattered throughout the plant that look deficient. So would you suggest another dose of Cal-mag?

Is the Grow Dot something you mix into your coco? If so, did you mix it throughout or just put on top?

Do you water from the top of the pot every once in awhile when the AC Infinity base is empty?
The AC Infinity base only wets the bottom 1/3 of the medium so was curious how well the fertilizer gets distributed since the top 2/3 isn't getting wet.

What's the NPK of the grow dot?

I literally just post the same thing about the ACI Base at the same time as you lol

Another dose of Calmag wouldn't hurt I don't think but I would maybe water through the top of the pot for a few waterings to get some of those nutrients moving.

Even though I use synthetics in my bases, I have to water from the top every once in awhile to keep salts from building up.

Grow dots little granules that you add to your medium and they release when needed. I fed it a half gallon of water pH at 5.8 the day before yesterday and it took a while for to drink it but it finally didn't and I poured 1 l of that in the top of the fabric pot and the rest in the reservoir. I have only done that once. I'm pretty sure I burnt the crap out of my leaves spraying under the light with water. I've done that before but not this bad. I've already had to take a lot of foliage off.

This is an unopened bag and it has more calcium and magnesium for the improved recipe.

Yeah good to know because I'm going to use the canaCoco I bought recently for my next grow. Thanks

I see your light is running at 95%, what brand and model is the light and how many inches is it over your plant?

How many hours of light are you giving the Auto?

Lighting effects how the plant takes in/uses nutrients.

I've only ran the bases for 1 grow so far, they were photoperiods and I used Flora Series nutrients. I was growing in Fox Farm though.
With the synthetics I would use the base for 1-2 weeks and let if run empty and then let the pot dry for a day or 2 and then top water for 1-2 waterings and then start using the base again.

I've grown photoperiods for awhile but have only grown 1 auto, just harvested it a week ago.
I ended up locking out that auto because I fed it like a photoperiod during flower and with the nutrients that were in my soil, it was just to much.
I just started 3 Fast Buds Blackberry Autos. I'm using Pro-Mix for them though, it doesn't have nutrients in it so it's 1 less thing I need to consider when I'm feeding.

I'm using a vivoSun aero light smart grow system. 24/7 light. I was doing 18 hours on 6 off. Then I went to 20 and 4. Then I went to 22 and 2. now it's all the time and it's been a few weeks

That's great to know man. I'm starting new speedy chili fast flower and some sweet ZZ autos when I get an extra tent next week. I'll post some more to show results or if I do or not. I will show what I get

When using LEDS of any kind you must double up on cal,mag and N as well as drop RH,the room might read within parameters but leaf surface is hotter with LEDs and humidity is like a blanket. LEDs push the plants differently especially considering the specific color specs of light. Try those small adjustments before trying anything drastic or changing routine and observe from there goodluck bro looking sexy af👍

I believe you need to get that water ph up. Ive been doing mine at about 6.3-6.5 and all my problems like this went away. When my ph was low 5.8-6 i was getting the same issues. I'll tell ya use real growers recharge and it helps that ph imbalance alot more the microbes regulate that ph is the rhizosphere or however you spell it. Js lemme know if fhat helps.

They are using Coco so ph could definitely be a concern, good call!

I personally use medium with buffers in it so I don't worry about ph.

I will try raising the ph too. Thanks
