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.

Will nutes degrade if left in the sun for a week?Nutes- If I mix up a gallon batch (fox farm grow big and big bloom) but only use half of that gallon, can I save the rest for the next feeding, which might be a week later? Also, is it ok if the jug is left outside where it will get sun, or will this ruin the nutrients?Week 5

Runnoff measuring results are not what I expected.Hello, I have a question. When you look at my diary, I find my runnoff measurments to be concerning. Why do you think my PPM is so high and my pH so low? How do I measure my runnoff correctly? Do I filter it before reading or do I let it wait?8mo ago

我的女孩怎麼了，這個是生病了嗎？還是太多的餵食？在他長出第二對葉子的時候這樣的現象就出現了，但是只有一邊有葉子，我查了相關資料顯示這是菸草鑲嵌病毒（Tobacco mosaic virus；TMV）
我覺得挺像的。但是不是很確定，我該繼續等幾天嗎？還是把葉子切掉。
誰可以告訴我解決方法，希望他可以度過生長期，因為他是自動開花，每一天都很重要。Leaves. Curl up
