Flowering Tangie Autos showing rust spots on leaves. Soil and Res PH within 6.5-7. Running autopots 6 plants and all getting the same light and feed. This is happening to 2. I’ve upped CalMg, hoping I’m on the right track. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance ✌️🏽 EC 1.3-1.5

I looked at your diary: you seems confuse mate these are not Autopot. Autopot is a DWC system sold in kit. You are doing a classic soil grow, with a very limited % of your soil being hydro substrate, at these proportion they are just right for aeration =). So what is your base soil made off? You could be under feeding.. Are you using a drip system? You could try to up your feeding. After looking at your data, your EC sure looks on the right target but most of it is supplement. Up your base nutrient (bloom, grow and micro). If the other 4 plants don't like it, you will have to find a middle, or hand watering those 2 with stronger solution. on your diary you explain how your light is not uniform, explaining you will let grow the plant in the back. But mostly you talk about *the leaves who gets the best PPFD* showing the worst symptoms: this is normal as light is motor of the photosynthesis equation. (The real food is your light). With extra light, leaves need more minerals to keep up the growth.

Hey. Hopefully I can clear some things up. I’m running an Autopot system (gravity fed trays so the plants bottom feed when they need it) The mix I’m using is 1inch clay pebbles in base, 4 parts biobizz light mix and perlite to 1 part coco in fabric pots. This was recommended to help oxygen get to root zone. Plants used nutes in soil till preflower when I started feeding schedule. I’ve been adding Great White to the soil once a week to help build microbes. Other 4 plants look healthy. The one left to grow higher on the end is slightly out of the ideal light footprint of my lights so with the extra height it’s getting 500ppfd. The two that are effected are getting 500ppfd on the sides and 620ppfd in the centre on 18/6.

I’m with Sativaman 100%. What is your soil? Without knowing exactly what your substrate is it’s hard to tell. But you say clay balls and coco. That leads me to believe your in a soilless mix of something called promix. So I’m going to say that your PH is way off. Soilless needs to be around 5.8-6.0 PH during vegetation 6.0-6.3 PH during flowering But again this is for soilless mixes. Organic soils requires what you are doing now. So the big question is, what is your soil?
