Thanks for jumping in. The more help the better

Hope it helped........ Lots of folks kill themselves btw trying to get their ph in hydro to stay rock solid at one reading. Here are my thoughts,,,,,, if you look at ph nutrient uptake charts for soil or dro you have optimum ranges for various macro and micro nutrient uptake. If you allow your Ph to to run the gamut from the high to low end then in theory you are covering all the bases on nutrient uptake and the plant gets everything it needs...... make sense? I would set my limits when doing a nutrient change at the low end and over the next few weeks let it climb on up to the upper limits and then with next rez change would start at the low end when setting ph. Also manipulating your Ph can be useful when you flip them to flower as you stay at the Ph range that takes up the nutrients that the plant craves in flower mode. Meaning I use different ph levels in veg than when in flower....

You can also manipulate the color of some certain genetics by running acidic or alkaline depending on the strain.

See link............ http://www.growweedeasy.com/does-ph-affect-cannabis-bud-color

Play around and see if you have strains that can be color controlled with acidic or alkaline ph ranges.

if you have rock wool cubes you are watering too often RW is notorious for holding moisture. and you don't need to water after lights off. When I ran ebb n flo My timers were set for 4 feeds during a 18 hr light period.

I suspect your issue is overwatering bro

With 4 feeds a day we grew small trees!!!!

How long did you feed for? I’m on 1/2 on 1/2 off and have been trying 24/0 lights on because it’s an autoflow. Cut back nutes general hydro to half and will wait for you reply for the feeding

Autoflower plants are very delicate, in my experience I allways start at 1/2 recommended dose of nutrients, and acclimate up, autos are very easy to burn, you are growing hydroponicley? I never grew that way, but if it is pests use a little DE Earth it will kill pests organically and add a bit of cal-mag to your auto.

Im sorry but i have to disagree, although there are some hardy autos, i have found autos much weaker than a photoperid plant, if you want the hard truth you burned your auto with to much nutrients I see this over and over.

Remember sometimes pests like to hide, and you won't see them till you have an infestation. Its happened to me before.

Yeah I did read about the ph range changing colors. Same site. It is my understanding that too high of a ph or even temp can make nutrients unavailable to the plant.
