anyone found that saving the buds for a reveg is pointless ? Got two here and I saved buds on both the plants and I've gotten shoots out of the very bottom leafy stuff before Andy dodgy leaves from the buds

I think it's just left on to shock the plant a little less more than anything bud

Always thought unless you saved the buds you wern getting the reveg ... lesson learned I'm not gna make the mistake of no cuts before flower again tho ... only took cuts of two things rather than everything I had or wasn't prepared to lose

I've got the same yellowing plant issue again with 3 autopots, today I got them to the front to give me access to them for hand feeding.

Ec and ph are good so it doesn't leave a whole lot?

I tested calmag on one plant (front right) and lol, well you see it lol.

The issue doesn't show up great in that pic.
Cheese dipz it's getting worse day on day?

For comparison Bluchi v3

I need to go back to the drawing board with the autopots?

@conor c is it within the realms of possible they're too wet with 50/50 coco and perlite?
Does that plant at the top look like what you'd see with too wet?

Cheers bud

Did the calmag burn tha hairs on the front right ? I've not used auto pots only thing I could say is maybe the affected plants are oversaturated and starving at the root zone for oxygen , can you test the run off in auto pots ? Or isit just straight back into a res ?

Hey bud thank you, yes you're spot on there I burned it with calmag, tbh im not big on foliar feeding is that ruined now regardless what happens?

I'm hoping it's over saturated but tbh I can't see how, I've deliberately put perlite above the high water level and I'm using 50/50/ perlite/coco, the 50% coco is made up with 25% course airy coco and 25% canna its light, that said the pots are heavy af, I run 300ml through one and got 270ml out so it's sodden wet for sure, I tested the ph and ec and there's nothing to cause concern.

I've turned the pots off to let them dry out then I'll hand feed for a bit and see what happens.

Tbh I've already written 3 of them off but if I can use them to work out the problem I'll feel so much better about that.

Idk about starting another if they're going to yellow I'd rather get out the dtw and run a couple of autopots untill I can jam with them, hopefully it doesn't come to that...fingers crossed.

Cheers bud

If your ph and ec are fine coming out of them I'd put it down to the auto pot system with one res isn't ideal for different strains that have different needs ... about the burnt tips I wouldn't know I've burnt flowers like that in the past but I think that was down the over feeding nutes and causing a burn not through foliar feeding ... they will still produce resin I assume but maybe the flowers won't grow as big always good for edibles or hash tho

That's the reason I don't like running packs of seeds for the differnt phenos, I'm wiaitng for the propogator lids coming for my 8.5 liter pots and gona start 2 seeds of same strain to make mother for my next run

I have this idea every run and I pop a pack go hunting and think I can kill the weaker plants but I carnt ...... I've got space to keep a few moms in my new area tho so fingers crossed

Thanks guys you've given me something to think about.
I'm putting a plan together.
As luck would have it I had to plumb 6mm tubing into 9mm so connecting another reservoir isn't too painful I've 10ltr ready to plug in when needed?

I've got them drying back atm but I'm going to feed them with 2.2/2.3ec then see what happens on the dry back, I want to increase it sufficiently so it's easy to see any changes...fingers crossed.
