I don't know whether I have over- or under-fertilized my plant. Auto Daiquir Lime Dutch Passion in 18L BioBizz Light mix. I have fertilized three times so far: Day 27: 1ml Grow Day 34: 1.2ml Grow and 0.6ml Bloom and 0.6ml TopMax Day 41: 0.6ml Grow and 0.6ml Bloom and 0.3ml Top

Hey Growmie, From the look of those leaves and your feeding schedule, it seems more like a deficiency issue rather than over-fertilization. You're using BioBizz Light Mix, which doesn't have a strong nutrient charge, and by day 41, your plant is likely asking for more than it's been getting, especially since autos tend to move fast once they hit the flowering stretch. The yellowing and browning on lower leaves looks like early nitrogen and magnesium deficiency, possibly with some bloom nutrient demand kicking in as well. Your feeding amounts have been on the lighter side, and while that’s usually safe with autos, she may be running on empty by now. I’d recommend checking your runoff pH if possible to make sure it’s not dropping too low and locking out nutrients. You may also want to slightly increase your Bloom and TopMax next feed and consider adding a bit of Cal-Mag if you're using RO or soft tap water. If the new growth is still coming in healthy and this is mostly affecting older fan leaves, it’s a good sign she's still got potential to bounce back with a balanced bloom feed. Let me know how she’s looking in a few days.

I think its a ph issue thats locking out potassium and phosphorus. if i had to guess, youre giving above 7 ph and the plant can only absorb nitrogen and calcium but not magnesium and phosphorous. thats why you have the dark leaves but also dying yellowing between the leaf veins. best of luck and any other questions feel free to message me. try adding a few drops of lemon juice per gallon of water and it should drop your ph into the right range. i have to do this
