Way to high. I have found less is more with autoflower. I Don't usually go above an Ec of 1.3

Thanks for the responses. I will start my flush to bring them down to 1500.

Less is more in autos. They are light feeders and your cooking your plants. Like I push 1200 normally 1400 to 1500 ppm if it is a monster in flowering.

It’s definitely way too high. Maximum before turning the soil into an hypertonicity condition is 1100ppm.
1100ppm is the maximum recommended.

I agree, those plants are near toxic with hyper nutrition.

Cal-Mag and N Deficiency in Flower? Thanks!I'm guessing the yellowing and brown spots (in Wk 8 pics) are related to Cal/Mag and maybe a lack of N? Would love some advice from someone who's seen this before
Thanks! I'm seeing this in all my grows to some degree- using FF trio and FFOF but not for much longer3 years ago

Nute butn or PH lockout?16d Runtz auto
Yesterday I flushed her with 5.8ph water - runoff was 6.3
I grow 60% coco and 40% biobizz light mix (soil/perlite) I've been told by a grower to aim at a ph of 6 and not water until runoff due to my medium composition. Someone also said N deficiency.

Seedling light green, just want her to be happy.Seedling is slightly yellowing. First ever hydro grow, just wondering what I should look out for. The water is ph 5.8 with fish shit, hyshield, calmag, and nutes according to seedling stage. I even added some extra plain ro water so nutes shouldn't be too strong.Leaves. Color - Yellow
