Tried an auto-watering system, and it didn’t go so well. Allowed the medium to dry, but the damage keeps getting worse Can it be saved?

I would just top water. Recharge helps me when my plant needs a pick me up. Keep top watering. If it’s in a 5 gallon pot I’d say half a gallon would be good. If it’s in coco give it a good saturation to make up for the one dry back. Only once. Then wait til you can pick the pot up when it’s light and water a half gallon if it’s in a 5 gallon pot. Maybe a little under that. The damage shouldn’t get worse.

I am using a coco/perlite mix in a fabric pot. The root mass at the top is dense, bottom half has hundreds of air prunes roots. I removed the wicks from the base and only use it as an overflow when watering. Most of the yellowed and necrotic leaves easily detached from the stem, and new growth shows minimal damage for now. Keeping my fingers crossed

Symptoms will always get worse before getting better with damaged roots. The time it takes to recover during flower severely affects yield/quality.

Took a few clones from it, and they seem to be doing well, so hopefully I can make up for the loss with this one.

That’s exactly what I did. My first grow was a lot of valuable learned lesson. Every grow teaches us more, so don’t be discouraged or disappointed! Clones put more time on the metaphorical clock. The game isn’t over, you’re just going into overtime. I can’t wait to see how awesome your clones turn out!
