I have some brown-rust colored splotches on my plant leaves. Hoping it’s not rust fungus but it seems like it to me.
I’ll cut back on the watering but these are in a small indoor grow and are auto flowers already in flower so I can’t really transplant them.watering too frequently and it needs to be transplanted!
I have been watering every other day usually. The cycle I’ve been using is one feeding watering then just ph water the next time then a watering using backstrap molasses.That is not rust fungas. You are not correctly feeding your plants and they are show some def.
If you can give basic grow information someone can help you.
Some full plant photos to start
Your grow set up
What you are feeding amounts
Soil
Lights
ETC.
My guess is that I have been overwatering but could that lead to a deficiency?You have some unhappy plants. The first set of pictures told me you need to up the calcium and magnesium.
Is the plant in the HD bucket the happiest? Does water come out of the clay pots when you water? I see the clay tray at the bottom of the pot and I am wondering if this is trapping water. Plants look like they are either over watered or underwatered. And with the lights you are using more than likely over watered. Go pick up one of the clay potted plants and get an idea of the weight. This is about the easiest way to tell if they need to be watered. Cannabis likes their feet to be dry. Meaning if you keep the soil wet the plants will get unhappy.
I would hold off on watering until the pots are really light. It is going to take 10 to 14 days for the plants to fully recover. And I do not recommend the molasses it is just sugar to feed the microbes
You have 2 things going on over watered and I believe a calcium deficiency. As mentioned above do not water them until the soil dries out. It will take some time, the pots are smaller than I assumed. When you do start watering again I would recommend not using the molasses, but if you most no more than 1 teaspoon per gallon. Secondly, I always cut the nutrients in half. If the bottle says 4 mills per gallon start off at 2 mills per gallon. It is much easier to add nutrients than remove them. Additionally I would add 5 mills per gallon of calcium and Magnesium (cal mag0 for a good 3 to 4 weeks and than taper to the finish. It is just a waiting game at this time. 10 to 14 days before they bounce back and look happy. Happy plants pray to the lights.Ak 48 auto flower
Grown from seed
Plants are 39 days old
They are in 10” terracotta pots
They’ve been flowering for roughly a 1-1.5 weeks
My grow box is about 2x2x4feet
The one in the hd bucket I transplanted just before flower and it does seem to be the happiest but unfortunately I don’t have the room to transplant my other plants.
Growing in fox farms ocean forest.
Ph water to around 6.3 usually
I’m using general hydroponics bloom and micro the ratio is 8ml of bloom and 4 ml micro per gallon of water. I also add roughly 1-2 teaspoons per gallon of molasses.
My guess is that I am overwatering. But will these deficiencies go away if I just let the plant dry out a little.
Alright I’ll let them dry out a bit. I am going to try topdressing some more ff ocean forest instead of feed from here on unless more deficiency’s appear.

Lights are not going to be a problem if they are as mentioned 66 watts a piece. Ideally you want around 30 watts per square foot.
