Is the one your having issues with the Auto or the Photoperiod? I would monitor the EC and PH of the runoff for some indicator on whats up. If you not watering till runoff then make a note of how strong the feeds are. Autos do not like feed as strong as photoperiods. https://www.autoflower.net/forums/threads/med-man-method-feeding-chart-ppm-ec.47856/ I like to use this as a reference point for most autos but still need to look at your plant and see if its saying more or less. FYI, biobizz is best if left to stand out overnight then ph adjusted if needed, it tends to drift down over some time. Good Luck!

Your pot size is just fine... You've got a deficiency of some kind (nitrogen? calcium?) going on and that is usually the result of the PH in the soil not being in a good range so the plant can't absorb the nutes you're giving it. This has most likely resulted in a lockout but that's easily fixed... You'll need to flush (30L of PH balanced water per pot) until the runoff is in a good range - growing in soil, you'll want the PH to be between 6.0 and 6.5. Then give it another gallon of PH'd water with your nutes ... let it dry completely before watering/feeding again. Don't expect the damaged leaves to recover because they won't - but you shouldn't see further problems in other leaves... Make sure your PH is in that range no matter whether you're feeding or watering... If you don't have one, get a good PH pen (I like Apera myself) ... the cost of it will MORE than be compensated for by avoiding future problems like this! Good luck!

El problema aquí no es el tamaño de la maceta. Puedes tener un bloqueo de nutrientes. Te recomiendo regar con agua ph 6.2 y TDS 260ppm y medir lo s mismo valores en el agua de la escorrentía. Y luego publica los resultados en otra pregunta para ayudarte.! xD Buenos humos!👌

I can't say what it is but it isn't the pot. You can even grow plants in 1l pots if you'd like. As long as you provide food for their needs it will do. So by saying that the solution would probably to feed them. If you really want to only give water and put them in a pot you gonna need a big pot. Better just re use the soil and feed it yourself organically imo. Hope this helps.
