Thank you I have them in bio mix soil I have not give them nutrients. I think I have underwatered them and only watered at the base of the plant. I also started in a 1 litre pot which I think was a mistake. I think Ur right about the light I think next time I just need to start them in a bigger pot and water them better. From the looks of the bottom leaves I think they are in need of nutrients. I'm gumna keep going with them as even if they don't come out right I can learn from them for my next grow.

Those plants at 5 weeks for auto's are really not even worth bothering to troubleshoot. Even in the poor shape they're in they'll likely start flowering soon and only yield a small amount. Not worth the time it will take for them to finish. Starting over would be the best option at this point.

I think you've learned enough from this grow and should move on. One of the hardest things to learn is when to move on. It's time to move on from those plants.

You really should grow photoperiod plants so if you have issues you have the time to correct them and then flower on your schedule.

Totally agree. Mistakes early with autos screw them right up but you can almost always recover a photo plant and still get great yields. At the very least you can get some cuttings to salvage the genetics as long as you can get them to root.

I only want autos for outdoors as I'm so far north that photo plants can't finish in time. Indoors they use 50% more power when flowering and generally give me 50% less pot than a photo plant. Not a decent ROI. ;)

:peace:

Yeah, feeding magnesium, sulfur, and calcium does nothing for a K deficiency. Both Mg and Ca can be antagonistic with K. If anything they're creating a K deficiency that didn't exist before.

“As you can probably notice I'm having an issue with k deficiency as rusting on fan leave's am dealing with it using an Epsom salt foliar spray and calmag

What do these do for a K deficiency?

Glad I put it out there am still learning I was told that foliar spray with Epsom salt helps prevent any more rust spots. The rust spots are caused by calcium deficiency and was told a dose of calmag once or twice will clean soil. Not used the calmag yet thankfully Epsom salt is seeming to work.
This is my second organic grow and still learning have done hydro and soil a few times over years but nevr had this issue. if I have been given wrong information about rust spots please correct me I would really appreciate it.

Glad I haven't used calmag as yet was told rust spots were sign of calcium deficiency and to use calmag along with Epsom salt. What is best option to combat rust issue on older fan leaves am still learning as new to organic growing. Thank you for this I could of done some real damage to my mother plant by the sounds of it.

Calmag can be used for a calcium deficiency. Using epsom salts along with calmag for a calcium deficiency is unnecessary as calmag contains both calcium and magnesium. Epsom salts are for magnesium and sulfur.

Thank you @xtsho for clearing this up for me.
I haven't used Epsom salt foliar spray for two days so will stop completely, it's an issue I haven't had in previous hydro or soil grows.
With the calmag would low dose every feed be more beneficial than once every third all opinions are welcome on this as never used before and don't want to over do additive.
I made a decision to go organic all good with first and second grow and decided to do a Green Crack mother from seed and it exploded foot in 5 weeks internal structure is quite open and I have done super crop on main will be doing same with other branches once past forth node will post pics later when lights on.
And again thanks for clearing up my lack of knowledge.

Low dose every feed for calmag if you need it. It's usually better to do low dose feeding more often than to do a higher dose less often.
