Hey, i was wondering what your guys opinion is of these plants. I’m not quite sure but it almost seems like nute burn because i see a couple of leaf tips turning brown but the ppm is at 750 which i believe is low. Using autopot with remo nutrients and using fastbuds remo feed chart. I have a grow journal up that has all the information if you would like more. Thank you.

Severe Mg def. What do you feed her? Remo? At what strength and how often? It's probably a combination of to big of a pot, not enough nutrients and sub optimal watering practices.

I just checked and the PH in the autopot reservoir after stirring. It has increased from the original 5.8 PH water up to 6.8 PH. It has done this before and i am not sure why. Also the PPM is now at 650 instead of 750. I don’t understand why this is happening. Is it because I don’t stir the reservoir constantly? Why would that change the PH though?

You should probably feed way less in Autopots. I think the main culprint is pH is way off. I don't know what medium you use, soil, coir or what do you use?

I am using pro mix hp. Yea i an pretty sure it is the PH. I still don’t understand why it goes so high after only 2 days. I thought with the autopot you should feed it like hydro. Also thr fastbuds website says it should have a higher PPM than it does at the moment. If you would like all the info of my grow i do have my grow journal on here. The following are the links to the websites i am using and my grow journal link is on the original post if you would like to know my complete set up.

I am using the fastbuds chart. The reasoning is because it is for autoflowers which the remo chart is not. Also i was told by other autoflower growers that i should try to use fastbuds feed chart. Like i say i am way under with PPM being at 650. They say it should be almost 1000. Also the PH is supposed to be around 5.7 but somehow shot up to 6.7 i still don’t know why. I think if i fix these issues plus make sure to keep on checking the PH and PPM daily to be able to adjust for any fluctuations.

I guess continue what you’re doing then if that’s what others are saying, as long as you’re satisfied with the results :wink:

Don’t diss fastbuds info just because i am having issues with PH rising and PPM being low. The PPM was on the lower side when i filled the reservoir with 750 PPM which is my fault and then i am not sure why it got lower while sitting in the reservoir. I created this thread without checking the reservoir just assuming it was correct because i just filled it 2 days ago. I knew the PPM would be slightly low because 750 is still low but with it dropping to 650 it is way off.

Letting soil get to dry in hp will jack your ph
Don’t let it dry
My 2 cents as a promix guy
Edit
Also hard water can make ph float up with some nutrients

Good to know. Never knew that could make that happen. The water in winnipeg is considered on the low side of moderately hard at 82PPM.

One thing that i have noticed is that there is chunks of stuff floating around in the reservoir. Also there seems to be a sludge like substance. Read that some other people have that problem with the autopot but they say it doesn’t affect anything. I will have to keep on the PPM and PH to see if them changing is the problem or if it is something else.
