Hey Mr. Grow it,
I found your channel and then the stash podcast. I love the content, the experts and science/bro science you bring to light. I am currently trimming/curring my first autoflower. i did not use autopot for the first one and I felt like it came out good just using megacrop. I had a lot of pale green/yellow leaves toward the end of veg when I switched to autopots. Ph would drift fast from 5.8-6.4 in two days maybe. would drink 5 gallons a day with 4 plants in veg. I cut Down the ppm and didn’t get better so i flushed them with about 10 gallons each of ph 100ppm water. I then added cal mg thinking it was a deficiency of cal mg, I bought canna coco and added some of that and ph regulated the plant started absorbing maybe 25% the amount of water it was absorbing, ph regulated and stayed consistent maybe drifting 5.8 to 6.2 after 2 weeks. It was stunted at some point in this process. the plants are very short but decently thick buds. Might be 3 ozs per plant. i know this post is too long so let me get to the point. Thinking about running canna coco A&B, cal mg, canna pk 13/14, big buds, and over drive next grow. Do you think this is a good regimen, anything I need to add? do U have an idea of what made it stunt? i feel like I need to tell u a lot more information but post is long enough. thanks for all your content mr grow it!

Thanks a lot for reaching out. My ppm was around 600 when They become pale yellow. I wasn’t sure if it was nute lockout because I’ve heard you and others say to go lower with autoflowers then the recommended dosing. I think maybe lower ppm and supplementing other items like cal mg will help. since i posted the question, ive heard u speak about how dangerous It is to transfer autos and maybe that is the blame too. I will see How my next cycle goes. Thanks a lot for your help!
Hard to tell you for sure about what happened. Without the PPM measurement, we are just guessing what the problem could be. It could be too low of PPM indicating it needs a feeding, or too high of PPM causing a nutrient lockout. In regards to using canna coco, many people use that lineup with success. Just ensure you are sticking with the recommended ratios according to their feeding chart. Excess of some nutrients can lock out others. A lower dosage is fine of course. Hope this helps
What do you think about canna coco nutrients?
this is the feeding schedule I am thinking of moving to
this is them at about 9 weeks maybe 4-5 weeks after the flush And nute change.
Here is how the leaves looked before I flushed.
