iGrowCulture Noticed burns on fan leaf tips So I’ve come to terms w the facts that I stunted her w all my anxiety and inexperience. Definitely, should not have topped her and should’ve paid more attention to feeding/watering amounts. But it’s all part of my learning experience...the second plant in the tent will get better care.

I've had problems with my Barneys Runtz auto too. I dont know if its just me, but round week four growth looked strange. Doesn't seem to drink much at all.

@Grandad_Mac, Same exact problem here around week 4. But tbh, I really believe it was just nutrient lockout due to me not keying in on feeding/watering temps. I dried her out then flushed for a week straight....I think I’m gonna reset her feeding schedule to Week 4 since she’s just starting to show signs of flowering.

@Grandad_Mac,Same here...Week 4. I’ve dried her out and flushed her over the past 2 weeks, gonna follow week 5 FF feeding schedule due to the lockout to see how that goes. How did yours finish?

@iGrowCulture, Im about the stage your at now mate. Maybe a week or so ahead and into flower. I flushed her with 15ml coconut water per litre water and biosys tea. The roots were becoming sick due to liquid sitting in a tray id missed and thus entering the rootzone 😱. I removed the tray and now letting the pot dry. She's allready perking up. dont really fancy starting a diary of a sick plant mid-gow, but could be usefull?
