    These plants were doing wonderful until week 3 of flower. Week 7 total. https://growdiaries.com/diaries/253788-fast-buds-strawberry-banana-auto-grow-journal-by-wiffz-cbd

    3 are auto by fast buds. And one I just took clones from before I flipped to flower. I use grow dots. And I use recharge every Friday. When I flipped over to the flower tent, that’s when I noticed spots on the bud. I originally thought is was the light in that tent, [ac infinity eco 8]. But now I’m thinking it’s more on a cal/mag issue? Purple punch is praying “which means they want more light” and the other plants are more pointed up but barely. And the one I took clones from is taco-ing. Also I use spider farmers 50L self watering pots. When I flipped to the flower tent I cleaned out the pots in the veg tent and noticed the water reservoirs had a very small white dot like residue in all the pots. Not sure what that was. My ph is at 6.0 and I just fed them cal-mag yesterday.

    That’s a root issue most likely caused by over-watering. Several elements are being locked out because of it. They do not need calcium or magnesium supplemented and is probably contributing to the imbalance. Gotta back off the watering and cut out the cal-mag.

      I use the sip buckets, and only give each plant about 1-1.5L every Friday of recharge. Than panicked and fed recharge after I noticed the spots on the leaves. The coco coir is always moist. Maybe I will remove one of the wicking strings. Thanks for your advice, I will pull back.

        Idk if this helps. But just drained the water in the self wicking pots and my PH is 7.0 and ppm is 40. I use R/O water.

          Well I was just going over my initial logs for when I planted the seeds. I went a bit on the heavy side on the grow dots. This was my first time using the grow dots and I’m not sure why I added more than recommended but I did on the 3 autos. My own fault. Is there a way to bring it back before more nuts get released?
