I had a long week and a lot happened in the garden. The plants were growing too slow and their leaves were closing like they were trying to protect themselves, some of the leaves ends were dropping downwards, purple stems and I also had tecnical problems; the GoGro ( auto feeding equipment ) valve didn't work and I ended up with a flood twice, which brought a few freaking little flies, and the lights were disconnected for 7 hours on sunday morning by accident. To solve this issues I had help from the folks here and some research online, I raised my lights up because it was cooking the plants, i adjusted the ppm giving more food to stop the leaves tip dropping, got Calmeg for the purple stems, pest control spray, I fixed the valve a gave a pretty good cleaning with Clorox in the tent. There were good things too. I did fimming technic to make the plants shorter and to get a more even canopy to get more ligh to them and more flowers. The girls are doing great, they are 4 feet taller now. I learned more about how they work and how to take care of them thanks to some free online books and lots of youtube. It has been hard work with lots of hours of dedication. I'm loving it. Thanks people from here. Thanks GrowBoss.

What should I do to stop the yellowing and the crawling of the plants. They are on 5gl autopods. I'm using fabric pods with pebbles, coco and perlite 75/30. They were fed on the first week with 65ppm being 60ppm from the tap water and 220ppm on 2nd week being 160ppm from nutrient

Hey there Gab ! Yeah it's a problem indeed ! What's happening is that you've got a soiless set up but you're not running enough feed. Soiless means "inert" means there's nothing in it, means that you have to give it 100% of the food the plant needs. Usually in coco you want both parts of the coco formula ergo part A and part B, and yes it's annoying that you have to buy two things but you do basically... nothing to it. You plants will still lack micronutrients so you do need to add specialised micro nutrients like calmag. Finally since the medium is inert, that means there's basically "no bacteria" to break down the nutrients, so you'll need an appropriate chelation agent such as amino acids, humic and fluvic acids, enzymes or simply hydrochloric acid. So when the medium is soiless like what you're doing you need the three categories of feed every day : the NPK nutrients of the 2 part formulas, the micronutrients eg calmag and the chelation agent. Right now you're showing deficiencies even with Nitrogen, that's because the lack of nutrients and chelation agent has caused root problems, you can tell from the downward clawing of the leafs. If you add a chelation agent to your feed it will break down the problem roots and the plant should recover within two weeks max. Hope this helps my friend ! 🚀

Hey bro so it's simply light stress, it happened after you lowered the lights like you stated.... notice how the highest parts of the plants are yellow, that's the light driving the plant too hard... if 9t were a nutrient def. Your yellowing would start at the bottom for N def.

Hey there Gab, I hope I answered your question. You need to feed these ladies micro and additives as well as upping the NPK because you're in a soiless medium. Anything else you need just let me know ! ✊

Feeding them more food will only make more problems... just back off the light and they will be fine in 2 days
