Drooping and curling leaves that are yellowed/faded. Beginning budding seems like it' going south too. On 2 plants...1 not as bad (see pics).
Growing in soil...nutrient tea 3 times weekly. I have a bad funus gnat issue still not taken care of but going away SLOW, FYI.
Please give me input so it can be fixed or I can at least try to fix. Autoflowers...thanks.

A few things. You have to take the pictures in normal light. Lights off even better.

Now if your leaves look like this , its from heat stress raise your lights..

That ultraviolet pink, that means you have broad or russet mites..

Get a scope like this, that has an led light on it. I have used loupes before and the light helps.

Anyhow you will be looking for clear dots, which will be their eggs.

Now if you see a little object with an antenna to the plant and brown thats a mature mite.

Limp yellow leaves, watering 3 times a week, slow growth, and fungus gnats. I'd bet over watering is the cause of your problem.

Ask all these People saying Overwatering
how can they know under normal light. :confused:

Only take answers from people that have the full scope of the problem..

Anyhow if in normal light and it looks like that you have a mite problem.

How about from the op's description. You don't need lights to see the leaves drooping do ya? The purple could be caused by cold wet soil unable to absorb phosphorus,it can also be seen in the pics pretty easily.
How the fuck do you have "full scope of the problem" looking at the same pics under the same lighting as everyone else? Where's all the heat stress you're seeing? How are you seeing mites if you can't see leaves drooping or any signs of over watering?

This is what broad mite damage looks like. It looks nothing like the op's pic.

Thanks buddy (sorry for late response BTW). MAY I ask you how much water or tea you would use on a single plant in a 5 gallon smart pot? Trying to see if I'm even giving too much per feeding. I am currently watering about 1/4 gallon water or tea per plant. Let me know what you would do. FYI it's a dry heat here in Cali (if that helps)

I understand that it looks like it could be mites because no lights are off (sorry to all for that), but it's just the light. Those leaves also both aren't a match, really. I find your info helpful and appreciate u though

I suspect, after talking to some people and doing some thinking, that you are correct! May I ask you how much water or tea you would use on a single plant in a 5 gallon smart pot?

The plants are about 2 weeks into flowering ( best guess without looking at actual date recorded) and approx 18" tall. In 5 gallon smart pots. As we have said, I am feeding WAY too much and ppm I honestly do not monitor (please do not be mean lol). Was 3 teas and 2 watering per week...gonna be much less now. I do feel that you and other people that say it's over-watering are completely correct and agree as of today. Is there a feeding regimen or amount that you would recommend per plant in a 5 gallon smart pot. Also any other advice on top of that would be appreciated like for example ppm's that I should be looking for Etc

Over watered and LOCKED OUT! What's the pH of that "Tea" your drowning it with?
Fucking up an Auto this bad will really hurt your yield. Auto's need light feeding.

Thank you. PH I believe was at around 6
5...but I really need to re check because NOW I feel like that may have been incorrect somehow. I agree with you about everything and appreciate the link. It's this ONE plant so if it gets to be ducked and yield sucks, then not the worse...however still not great. I'll get it all taken care of the best possible and really look at my levels/regimen that they are fed. Thanks!

Your going to hurt/kill a few plants. It's all part of the process. Just drag your wounds to the next attempt. If your going to stick with auto's, join this group also.

Look for 20% run off when you water/feed. Water by weight, not date.
