Anybody knows what this could be?
Thanks!

No worries yet - remember auto's don't like nutrients as much as other strain's- flush for a few days !

Are they close to the soil or touching the soil?
What's your medium? Soil,coco?
What nutes are you using?
So your about week three? How many times have you feed and at what level ?
It doesn't look bad right now,if they are close to soil,it could be alittle of a splash burn,when you water the plant ,the leaf was poured on or splashed.
If they are outside of pot just keep eye on it and see what it does.

@FrankieCoste nice thread I will be following along.
Just to throw my 2cents into the mix I would say that taking into consideration the pot size and the age of the plant, right now if I was you I would be feeding 1.5 litres of water and nutes every feed. I would also be watering from the outside of the pot and only putting a little splash directly at the base of the plant.

This will do 2 things the first is that the roots will grow out to the edges of the pot where the water is. Don't worry about the plant getting enough water it will because osmosis will spread the water all through the soil it will just be wetter around the edge
The second thing is that you will be able to learn how your pot feel wet and dry without the risk of overwatering or the water in the pot going stagnant and causing problems. by the end of the grow you should be watering between 2-3 litres every 3 days.

I also noticed that you are using sensi bloom a and b. I am wondering why you are using bloom so early? To get the best out of this plant you want to use sensi grow a and b for the first 5-6 weeks of its life and fully switch to bloom once the vertical growth has slowed down. in week 3-4 you will want to cut back on the grow and introduce the bloom at the same rate you cut back on the grow so if you are using a 4ml dose per litre you would do something like this

week 3
3ml grow a+b, 1ml bloom a+b

week 4
2ml grow a+b, 2ml Bloom a+b

week 5
1ml grow a+b, 3ml bloom a+b

week 6
4ml bloom a+b

also you don't need cal/mag yet start using it when you introduce the bloom.

I hope everything goes well for you buddy

Hey man, how's it going?
I bought some nutrients and am planning on following your advice!
I tried to adjust your schedule to the nutes I now have in my possession, so it'd be good to know what you think :)

Here it is:

Week 1
Mineral Water
Week 2
1mL Sensi Grow Part A (per L of water)
1mL Sensi Grow Part B
0.5mL Voodoo Juice
0.5mL Rhino Skin
Week 3
1.5mL Sensi Grow Part A
1.5mL Sensi Grow Part B
1mL Voodoo Juice
1mL Rhino Skin
Week 4
1.5mL Sensi Grow Part A
1.5mL Sensi Grow Part B
0.5mL Sensi Bloom Part A
0.5mL Sensi Bloom Part B
0.5mL Carboload
(1mL CalMag?)
Week 5
1mL Sensi Grow Part A
1mL Sensi Grow Part B
1mL Sensi Bloom Part A
1mL Sensi Bloom Part B
1mL Carboload
0.5mL Voodoo Juice
(1mL CalMag?)
Week 6
1.5mL Sensi Bloom Part A
1.5mL Sensi Bloom Part B
1mL Carboload
1mL Voodoo Juice
(1mL CalMag?)
Week 7
2mL Sensi Bloom Part A
2mL Sensi Bloom Part B
1.5mL Carboload
0.5mL Overdrive
(1mL CalMag?)
Week 8
2mL Sensi Bloom Part A
2mL Sensi Bloom Part B
2mL Carboload
1mL Overdrive
(1mL CalMag?)
Week 9
Mineral Water (Flush)

I'll definitely use that for my second grow, Fast Buds' Girl Scout Cookies (she's 3 days old by the way :) I will definitely start a journal pretty soon too!

Thanks!

Peace,

Hey man,
Thanks for passing by!
Yeah I think you're right - must be a splash from when I watered... A little nute burn! And yes they are quite close to the soil. I made the mistake of not putting enough soil in the pot, so now it's a little hard to water without splashing anything on the lower leaves... But I try to manage!
I am using the AN line btw, and have been using Sensi Bloom (I know it ain't right, but I was following the only schedule I had at the time and wanted to experiment as it is my 1st grow...) but at very low doses (1mL per L of both Part A and Part B - it is a 2-part nutrient).
Peace,

Hey everyone,
Hope you're all doing well! :)
DAY 20
Thinking of backing off CalMag for a while because a few leaves seem to have 'the claw'.
Other than that, I am still impressed by the development and feel as if I will see appearing preflowers in about a week or so :D
Here are 3 pics!
Sorry for the low quality, and for the light changing the colour :S
There:






Thanks for watching!

Peace,

Good idea - Remember once you spot a plant issue you are all ready 2 weeks behind in fixing it .maybe flush for a few days no cal-mag for 5days

Looking good and you are right good to let the plant go without anything for 2 days (2 day dry period)

Hey guys,
Today's DAY 22!


BUT I found out that one of the lower leaves was dead, so I gently took it off:



What could be the cause?

Your plants are very bushy and look healthy.. I'll guess this leaf could have used more light..
Don't start to worry over it..

About the leaf -nothing wrong; some just die-off. Please keep informed interested in your results with that specific auto strain

Hey guys,
Got some bad news... I think she's got Nitrogen toxicity...
Today's DAY24.
I stopped feeding her for 2 days and yesterday I gave her about a litre of water and then some water mixed with a bit of nutes. Unfortunately it hasn't done any good as it seems...
Here are some pics, maybe they can help you help me! :)
I'd like this 1st grow to go well so I'll be absolutely grateful for any advice, suggestion, or help of any kind!
By the way, I have never given her too much nutes or water, at least I don't believe so. The most I've given was probably about 1/3 of the recommended dose.
Here are the pics, thank you!

What should I do now?
I start hating soil and wish I had the money to buy a hydro system... :S
Anyway, thank you!
Peace,

You have Nitrogen Toxicity - stop "N" use (cal-mag ,ect) no nutrients -just water for 4-5 day's and start to feed at re-duced amounts. N toxicity is a common plant issue - Once you see your plant problem you are all ready two week behind in fixing it

Looks a little overwatered, maybe slightly N tox but not bad yet, let the soil dry completely and water it with heavy runoff next time with just water.

Thanks a lot bro.
I'll do that. I calibrated my EC meter too, so that I can measure the runoff's EC.
Do you know what's the acceptable range for EC? Or PPM, and I'll translate :)
THANK YOU!!!
I'll give you a update later in the day!
Peace,

That's 3x's container size in a 2 week period - over that time in all comes out -no overwatering

no worries about over watering and just to mention for soil make sure there is no standing water in container
