Is my plant going to die?

Ok I will try this for now as well thanks so much for the info I will cut the calmag and try to water twice a day and cut the just calmag feedings and third it as well so once they become more healthy I can up the nutrients to say maybe half? Or would that be too much?

haven't really check too much I just checked the other night and it was 350 or so and ec was only like .8 and I feed two day than just cal mag only once a night

Are you feeding cal/mag by itself? You might be flushing out some of the other nutes doing this, I would feed complete nutes each time.
350? ppm on which scale? If it's .5 thats fine.
.8ec is a pretty light feed, it's fine, 1.2-1.6 is normal for photo plants. that's 600-800ppm on the .5 scale. If you have your room dialed vpd-wise w/co2 and nice lights you can feed way more.

I was doing two days with feed than one day with out and just calmag they also started to dry out more as they got bigger so they are getting dry even with runoff from one feeding a day and I use this tds ec meter they are autos so I guess not as much food? But where I'm at isn't too bad just with less calmag instead of full blast and increasing my feedings to twice a day I can do 3 or more its all on timers so whatever you guys suggest but I will start with 2 a day and I'll update you guys in a few days thanks so much

Always feed nutrients, never plain water and never just CalMag. Feed as much as necessary to keep the coco wet and to get plenty of runoff.

It's as easy as this, kind of.
Water 1000ml you want 200ml run off. You can watch how much you plant uses per day. Mine takes about 1000ml per day up. It likes to eat in the am, so my later feed is less ml. I feed, mess around 5-10 min and see if I have enough run off.

Days.
I tried hard to kill my auto. We had that cold snap/ lost power, I then overfed, locked out, burnt tips, overfed again..... Looks like this now. wk 18 tomorrow. New growers... helicopter parents.
Better go check on my plant now, might need 3 drops of water")

Grow in coco and water with low dose of fertilizers as many times as I can. I do run off to waste and keep my ph at 6.3. I never use well water I either melt snow or get rain water so I can dial in TDS . Seedling 200-250,Early Growth 550-700, late growth 600-900, transition 650-900, early bloom 500-700,Mid bloom 600-800.late bloom 600-800,Ripen 400-7000, flush 0-60. It's what I do and works for my setup. There is a little jiggle room depending on a specific strains need. Good luck .

I gave them a good watering last night it took almost 5 literes to get a decent amount of run off definitely were super dry the plant on the left looks better already this morning I know the one on the right won't heal its leaves but hopefully that was my problem definitely makes sense. Here's a pic from last night than this morning

Great! Just keep it up. Check the run off once in a while and make sure it's in a safe range.
srry if I posted this already.

I would flush it down to correct ph/ppm runoff, then feed to runoff, but It's lived this long so it's not like it will die from it this moment.

Does you nute solution always have to be ph'ed down a few ponts before use? I was having this issue. I had to buffer my ro water(20%tap water) so it would be more stabile. My ph would rise in the bottle I store it in and root zone. From the plant eating and from not enough buffering in the water.

Yes I usually have to use like 3 to 4 drops of ph down per litre, my tap water is salt softened so I thought it probably wouldn't be too good to mix with the ro. I was think about that aswell as I read that ro doesn't buffer well and yea I think I need to up the ppms a bit says I should be 750 to 850 I think for this stage
