I see I will have to have a look but in your experience do you think this is a needed step or will letting the plants “grow out” of this issue suffice?

You and the plants would probably benefit from just chilling out and watching them grow for a week.

Yes haha I know that that’s why I haven’t touched them for the past couple days other than feeding.

These are the plants today guys I got a cheapish ph meter from a hydro store but it does the job! This is the plants now they are a lot bigger definitely growing! There are a few marks on them I think the brownish spots in some pics are a sign of calmag deficiency ? However some leaves have holes in them I’m wandering what it could be? I can’t see Any bugs that would eat the leaves in the tent.

Doesn't look to concerning to me just keep an eye on it, I'm a new grower too I've had some things I freaked out about that were just hitting with nutes or been laying on soil. They look pretty healthy. Just keep em heading in this direction. Others that grow alot would know more but take a breather and regroup

Those spots are just pH fluctuations showing on the leaves no worries. (Yes it's likely a Ca thing but it's not a big deal) When you fuck with RO water with no buffer you're going to get that until you dial it all in. It takes a minute to realize all the little things that we do fucking around come back and show up on older growth.

Those girls are about to explode if you keep it consistent and let them settle into a groove. Keep calm and carry on. Soon you're going to want to switch to the bottom feed setup you have and that will bring it's own set of challenges.

I see well now this shouldn’t be a problem as I’ve got myself a new ph meter.
And yes I’m thinking about switching to bottom feeding soon maybe after the next few days!
What challenges may I encounter doing this? It isn’t a bad thing using autopsy is it?

I'm not a great bottom feeder tbh. I couldn't figure out how to keep the root zone happy without runoff in coco so I gave it up and went back to drain to waste. I personally think it's best suited to plants in soil getting just water.

Check out @Magnumsmydog thread he's slaying it rn bottom feeding.

Auto water bases are fantastic but expect to water every day or more. That's why I added the reservoir and bought some bulkhead with a float valve to keep em full. The next challenge if you scrog the roots are gonna drop in the bases so you have to choose to keep em or keep breaking them off every other day or so and dealing with rotting roots. I chose to add air and keep the roots. I'm always on here so if you need any help just hit me up and stay away from organics In it I added foop sweetener not thi king and had a mess on my hands........live and learn

These are auto pots I have a 100l reservoir outside tent and mesh in the bottom of the pots which don’t allow tho roots to extend out of the pots!
