You probably wont get great yields and it may not be the most potent, but its still something and I would still keep going with it while you figure what else you want to do. If nothing else, you might learn something from it still.I guess GG4 autoflower are wack.
again, thanks a lot guys. I’ll be purchasing seeds from recommended sources.
A little disappointed, but I’ll get it right. It’s my fault for jumping in so quick without doing research. But now I have you guys

Hps are good. You will most likely need an inline fan to cool it. If you were already expecting to use 600watts get a 600watt hps. you'll get a good harvest

You think I’ll get a decent harvest if I switch the lights on these plants? If so, I’ll get that HPS today !

whats the ppm of the nutes autos are light feeders and you really need to know the ppm autos or not. too much ppms and your plant wont grow
and get ph drops or a ph probe I recommend both use the drops to check the ph if you suspect the probe is off before you do any phing up or down.
whats the water temp? to much temp and you will get root rot.
get a good GROW light not a light for the shop.

Although I think 600w HPS gives the best results, I'm not sure that is the only problem. Those twisty leaves at the top are puzzling me. I can't see wimpy lights causing that. It seems to be more of a bitter beer face, like they don't like what they are drinking for some reason. If you were using 6oo hps and Floranova like a lot of people do you would probably have normal results like a lot of people do. I'm a follow the crowd kinda guy and like to benefit from others' experience.You think I’ll get a decent harvest if I switch the lights on these plants? If so, I’ll get that HPS today !

most grow stores buy shit by the pallet best to do research and buy quality for the products you need. If your local grow store sells quality then buy it from them if not buy elsewhere.You think I’ll get a decent harvest if I switch the lights on these plants? If so, I’ll get that HPS today !

weak light and a small res and all those bottles I think its too hot with the ppms. New growers just have to use a little bit out of each bottle cuz they think its the right thing to do. then water temp screwing with the roots.

HOLY SHIT
ph is too low should be 5.8-6.2 get some drops their cheap and accurate. to adjust the ph.
the ppms are way way too hot ...that size plant should be about 400 - 500 ppms..change that shit out now.
its going to take a couple of weeks to recover from that.
Im ok with the rez temp and the humidity temps.
Check ph daily for swings if it moves a little thats ok if it moves a lot then you need to slowly adjust it back in the range it needs to be.

What's ppm of you water before nutrients?
You're probably feeding them nearly 2x as much as they want.

Good question I forgot that one
I find that tap water messes with a hydro grow best thing if your sticking with hydro is to use r/o water. Start with little to no ppms then add nutes then you know what your working with .

Yeah, but you'll have to nearly double your water level so I'd probably drain half of it then top it back off with fresh water.
That's not too bad for tap water.

With your tap water and that size plant, probably around 600-700.
You've already given it too much and shocked it.
From where you have it now, just leave it alone for a few days and monitor the ppm. If ppm goes up, it's too strong, if it does down it's too weak. I'm talking about changes of like 50ppm or so.

needs to be lower
as mentioned tap water ppm is at the highest you want imo then you need an r/o system so the tap might work for you and maybe get a r/o system if you still cant make it work the way you want it to.
