This is a white widow autoflower that has been doing really good so far. I am growing 3 of these in separate unconnected reservoirs. This particular plant has been my best one out of the 3 for some time now. I woke up the other day to a few leaf problems as seen in the pictures.
These discolored leaves are more towards the top of the plant. I also noticed that on this plant only, I am having to chase the PH up daily as of late. This is the only plant where I have to bring up the PH period. The rest I usually have to add PH down. In fact, I opened the new bottle of PH up that I had for 6 months just to treat this plant. Every morning it’s back down to 5.20 or so, I bring it up to 6.0, it lasts a day. Then it’s back down again. Tap water with a ppm of around 150 before any nutrition added.
‘My ppm is at 600 and ec seems to be 1.2. If I let the ppm get any higher on these plants they get sick and I have to do a tank change and let them recover for a few days before adding back nutrient.![image.jpg](/data/attachments/4370/4370500-c505eefecc7fefaabc7dd2be8436f50a.jpg)
so I don’t know if the PH is a clue to any sort of malnutrition or over feeding I may be doing, but I’m scared shitless to add or remove anything without advice. About a month ago I added a teaspoon of epsom salt to the 3 gallon reservoirs and it almost killed one of these, that one is now my smallest stunted plant that never really fully recovered and it used to be my biggest!![image.jpg](/data/attachments/4370/4370489-772220eb14e9618140e9eb3eb2ac4c7a.jpg)
