m0useanswered grow question 5 months ago Your EC is to high at 2.3EC on an auto, autos like lower feeds and can not handle higher dose feeds as much. This is cauing it it burn under the light as its taking up to much.
Keep using the ratio of nutrients you are giving them, but dilute the EC down to around 1.5-1.8 and give it a good amount of runoff in each feed if it gets runoff. This helps prevent salt buildup. if it does not get runoff, give the resviour a quick change of water and feed.
The light is weak and should not be causing any issues, I have used a bunch of 18w mini led strips before totalling 90W and then could touch the light and be fine. Not saying this is the same but you could try and find out the PPFD of your light from the manufacturer then they may have suggested hang heights. PH of 6 is fine, 18/6 is fine, Temps could be lower but not a huge deal.
Good Luck!
