I see you're unhappy with your yield and Q of your overall end product. Looking through your weeks. I do see your had a lot of pink/purple stems. Sometimes this is gentic but i i think in your case, it was the lack of a key nutrient through your flowering period, as if you don't hit things on the head in the phase they're n like fattening, you will move into the next phase, ripening lacking big bud/colas. I do see you're using a lot of nutes, base nutes at that. I feel, if you lower your intake of amount of focus on a Grow, Bloom and micro, (an enzyme "if you're in soil to help with overall nutrition uptake, and a root stim) if you jst using coco, drop the enzyne and push a root stim. Also a good calmag. Myself, I like to give these sep, calmag. I use cal power from Green House Feeding, and epson salt for mag is probably the best source of mag/sulphur you can get. "Also works great for a foliar spray" as there's cal in your tap. So mainly mag does be an issue. Although if your water is soft you might need a cal. If you're getting a calmag just watch out of the mag+s as they tend to have N and a few other trace elements, but, they can be very good Also, but I like to deal with a mag issue with mag not throwing the whole kitchen sink in to fix 1 issue. And you'll find by fixing the likes of mag will solve a lot of other issues. If you need help, feel free to mes. But I would look at what your using, and cut them down by half or focus on what I said. Good Growing mate

Also: Light intensity. Getting you PPFD and DLI dialled in is also a game changer. I recommend the Photone app for that unless you want to buy a light meter. It’s easy to overdo the light with autos. I’ve recently dialled in my DLI and it’s made a huge difference.

I can tell you from first hand experience with biobizz that at around week 7 you should have increased calmag. That is the reason your leaves started yellowing from the top. When the plants need more Nitrogen it always shows in the lower leaves first because nitrogen is a mobile nutrient and the plants will send nitrogen to upper leaves and let lower leaves die. With cal and mag, they are not mobile so it’s always the newer growth that gets affected first.

Hi there around week 9, the fade and yellowing were signs of them been ripened pal. They were close to their finish. You pushed them way to far into flowering. If anything, that's the only real issue I can see. Going by your pistils, well I don't see 1 white 1. 30-40% amber and 90-95% cloudy trichomes you should be in your hardest l harvest window. 30-45 says max for Fastbuds autos buddy during flowering, going off of course a 18-6.

Ill start with some of the things i think i could have changed and see if you agree with me or not. Around week 9 the stardawg had started to fade and yellow, considering how long the plants went on I think I should have used nutes for longer and held off on the cold flushes for longer. I think they needed more nitrogen in week 9 so i should have been feeding more in week 8 ? Maybe I overdid it on the nitrogen at the start ? and underdid the PK at the end ? could have got it colder towards the end of grow ? and had it cooler when the lights were at 75% I dont think i really under or overwatered them too much, although i did miss a watering I would have liked the nugs to be bigger on them all and more dense on the strawberry pie and stardawg but think that was maybe down to higher than i would have liked temps 25ishC when I would have preferred 21C mid to late flower and not enough PK later on ? All 4 pots seem to be filled with roots but Im not sure how I feel about the fabric pots, they got really dry really quickly round the outside but I felt at times the center was still drinking. I wonder if smaller fabric and plastic smart pots would be better and would dry more evenly even if it is quickly? maybe 3 gal ? they say these pots are supposed to air trim the roots or turn them back in on themselves and are so able to support bigger plants and im not sure if that function is being utilized with autos in 5 gal smart/air pots .
