Yup I'm telling ya bro these plants 600ppm eating like hogs though at over 5 gal a day for the 4 plants. Remember it's grow specific so some may like a bit more or less. If you follow VPD you optimize nutrient uptake. When temp and humidity are out then you may need a bit more or less. I would say range of 500-800 is about the limits depending on humidity and temps which equal nutrient uptake.

And autos usually like a bit lighter feed from what I hear. I can't speak from experience on that.Thank You; I now feel a lot better.
These monster Auto Train Wreck seeds i have seem to do very well in my environment. I do try and stay within the vpd envelope. During flower, the average is 5 gallons a day for two plants. So it tracks with your description.
Either is fine. But no more than 100ppm of cal mag. Mix nutes as I described earlier it's important to add silica first them ph down to 6.2 before adding anything else or you will cause precipitate.Sorry I haven't replied ive been real busy today but I put a little bit of RO with what was there it was .4 ec (mainly cal/mg) Im going to have to make a quick batch of new water i dumped all my collected water earlier today because i mixed it right before i got answers ive been waiting for water it takes me like 8 hrs for a rez worth i should have enough now but im gonna have to just drain whats in their and put in the new batch im gonna aim for 1.0 ec. I think im going to switch my meter to ppms too? I feel like with ec i cant see the difference as much as ppm is it actually more accurate?
Just hope there is not a ratio issue.Draining/filling rez now i had to be somewhat quick about it and ppms are only 400 and i have no more water so im sending it and will adjust tomorrow if need be
In my opinion it has nothing to do with calcium, thats why even though you've been adding extra cal it has no effect;Hey guys having an issue with one of my gals here and its looking like the others might follow if I dont fix it.
setup:
20 gal RDWC 4 plants AUTO NorthernLights
Ph gaurdian monitor
3 leds (800 real watts) 18:6
Temps: 68-82 water: 66-73 RH: 50%
Hydrogaurd(2mls per g), DG Protekt Silica(1.5-2mls per g), floralicious plus(.75ml per g), calimagic, GH trio (currently using 1ml micro to 10 mls bloom no grow )
RO<25
PH: I have a problem where I cant get my ph to rise with this grow and last, I believe it has something to do with air quality but im not sure, it stays pretty solid but will maybe drop a point every other day or so
Ec: accidentally burned the plants a lil ik :/ but ec never rose much at all it was staying at 2.0 (slowly increased nutes throughout grow) for a long time and it slowly started rising(.1 after 2-3 days), I dropped it to 1.6 at first sight and I thought maybe I was giving too much regular nutes and not enough calimagic because i have been seeing tiny spots like this since late veg and it seemed raising calmag helped for a little while (went from .4 ec to like 3-4mls per g) then after maybe 2 week or so the problem started getting worse for the small plant. I dropped the nutes and added like 5 mls of calmag it continued getting worse(3 plants looked super healthy just the smallest having issues at first) and ec slowly started rising and i dropped it to 1.4 it rises .1 after like 2 days and calmag is 1.0 ec I know autos require less nutes than photos and that calcium is very important in my situation but thats too much isnt it? Now my healthy plants are starting to show symptoms. I also noticed the small plant is much further in flower than the others and im worried its gonna happen to the rest :/. I have had the plants sitting in .5 ec water just calmag overnight to try and flush them out. Im about to make more nutrients and looking for advice. Id really like to get this problem figured out because its caused too many headaches throughout my last grow and I had came to the conclusion I wasnt giving enough calcium in the end. If I missed anything please feel free to ask questions thank you! (Photos of when first plant started to get bad and now)

Well that's a good sign. You can likely go 500ppm if your dropping 50ppm in a day. But it good that's it's eatingI have looked into it before it is definitely possible im doing what i can i will try and add in another fan later today, humidity never reaches over 60. I will say one thing i noticed is it says it starts in lower canopy and im seeing everything in upper newer growth. I adjusted my nutrient regimen and ppms went from 400 to 350 over night and ph went from 6.0 to 5.8.
You can have septoria at 30% humidity; my advice is to follow the info on Royal Queen seeds link above, also recommend you start feeding balanced nutrientsI have looked into it before it is definitely possible im doing what i can i will try and add in another fan later today, humidity never reaches over 60.

If you feed a plant enough through its life but not to much it should be fairly healthy looking by that I don't mean lush deep green. Some yellowing is to be expected as we cut back on nitrogen. If your running cooler temps at the end you may see more colors pop like purple but it's not really about leaf color it's are they healthy. It's not uncommon to see some signs of deficiency at the end eitherI greatly appreciate the info and will look into solutions deeper when I can. Might i ask you guys what a normal plant nearing end of harvest looks like? I know theirs obvious issues but ive also been told by a couple people half of it is the leaves dying because its nearing death but im not experienced enough to know forsure and would love some info on that too..
Mix a level teaspoon of baking soda to a quart of water and dip one leaf that's moderately affected in an area where there are other affected leaves next to it for comparison, and mark it with a twist tie or similar and take pictures for later comparisonI greatly appreciate the info and will look into solutions deeper when I can.

Yup they release h+ ions when uptaking ammonia/ammonium.If ph and EC is dropping you may have too much ammonium nitrogen in there, but I hvent looked into your nutrients so I dont know... but the roots exude a cation in exchange which reacts in the rootzone causing a ph drop.
