**add 2 weeks for seedling and early veg stage, I didn't count those weeks when I started the diary**
I'm doing an aeroponic style grow I believe. Basic 3 color general hydroponic nutrients and also general hydroponic cal/mag. I had a couple of very amateur grows years ago I consider myself a beginner. Any tips or suggestions or comments greatly appreciated.
I'm getting some little red spots on some of my fan leaves. Not all but some. Any ideas what this might be caused by? Wondering if it could be pH or either too much or not enough nutes? Thanks in advance.
Looking for someone experienced with using general hyrdroponics Flora nutrient to answer a few questions. Preferably if you have knowledge of using with DWC or at least hydro grow. Basically trying to figure out why my ppm doesn't seem to go up high enough.
With DWC you should be using CALiMAGic, Armor Si, hydroguard, and diamond nectar as well. This will bring up your ppms. Check out my diary, I use GH in my DWCs. Don't necessarily use my amounts, I made some mistakes that I note in the journal.

Plant A which is only doing LST seems to be growing pretty well but still trying to correct rust colors on leaves. I did my mainline top for plant B but I snapped a stem trying to do my tie down. I taped with garden tape but I'm still waiting to see if she will come back or not. Finally got my ppms up but I think I might have over fed. Hoping to get it better next feeding and will be adding supplements when they arrive. Unsure of whether to defoliate A with it being an auto flower. Cheers and Blessings!
Day 4 looks like plant B's recovering but the strong side is way ahead of the wounded side
Wanting to get other opinions on defoliation for autos. Do you do it? How much if so? From what I've read, some people do and some don't. I think the reasoning I read not to defoliate is that you want to limit stress on autos due to their determinate grow period. Thanks, cheers!
Yeah its true but if you can get light to penetrate all the way thru the inside of the plant by the removal of 1 leaf, wich wouldnt happen if the leaf stayed there... in that situation its good to defoliate just that one leaf, but either way the plant will stretch and fill with buds in flowering so the leafs positions would change and it could end up being a unnecessary removal.
In conclusion, only if really needed.
**Add 1-2 weeks for a more accurate age. I didn't count my seedling time to this diary when I started it. First time doing a diary.
Just starting this 5th week. I got my ppm lower this week. Right at 1300. Might still be a little high but I feel like I'm pretty close to where I need to be.
**Add about 1-2 weeks to the age for more accurate age.
Day 1 - Will update nutrients list later.
Day 2 - both seem fairly stable. Still spots on A but they don't seem to really be getting worse at the moment.
Day 3 - finally updated the nutrients this week. Loving these two ladies.
They both have been flowering pretty well. Definitely seeing the difference between mainline and lst only in these two ladies.
Good week for the ladies. Plant B has slightly more developed buds where as plant A has significantly higher amount of buds all over.
