Your Ec at 1.0 may be a tad high for an autoflower. Start of at about 0.6 and increase by 0.2 each week. You will find an Ec above 1.2 can cause a bit of stress to autos for some reason. Once I push past 1.3 I really usually hit a few problems.

Exit EC in peat and perliteVariety of opinions in the landscape with regard to watering to run-off when growing in peat or coco and perlite. Of course that makes testing exit EC a challenge. Asking for opinions - are the EC meters that have a probe to read substrate EC/salts any good? Is that the solution?

Why does coco nutes often only have one A B blend, instead of 2 seperate Veg and Bloom blends?I personally use Plagron nutes in coco, hence I use the same A+B bottles for veg and flower.
When looking at nutes for soil they have the 2 different bottles for veg vs bloom.
So my question here is why does it seem like some coco lines(plagron, canna) only have 1 over both?Setup. Substrates
