All to do with light intensity.

Since We create unnatural conditions indoors with intense 20(+-)hrs of light if the medium isn’t working 100% effectively deficiencies will appear.

Outdoors the same plant/soil would look a lot different due to being under less demand/stress from its environment as it matures at a slower pace.

Also I had the thought that since autoflowers are forever becoming more photoperiod. Those photoperiod genes might be more light stressed by 20hrs of light instead of 12. Our autos get typically 60-80%+ more light than their counterparts.

Top dressing takes time to work but don’t throw a bunch of stuff at it. Less leaves = less food needed to sustain the plant

Yes it's been my lights this whole time. I have a 2x4 tent with 414 watts of LED lighting. I got a TS1000 that's 150 watts and I have to Mars Hydro 300 watts they are actual 132 each. I am.getting rid of the blurples and getting another Ts1000 this weekend. So I will have 300 watts of good lighting.

And another thing when using these dry amendments, my tap water is a high 7 PH like 7.8. Should I not ph it down? Use it at 7.8 so by the time it hits the nutes it should balance out? And I just ordered me another TS1000 will be here Minday and ready for my next run.

7.8 is sound. The soil will buffer that no bother. It’s actually good practise to give the plants a ranged pH rather than giving it what the media us at. Although low pH feeds after a while can cause issues especially in flower

Thanks man, I buy all these things and end up not even needing them. Lmao

Finally got rid of those blurples went from 414 watts of light to 300 watts in my 2x4 so shouldn't be overkill of light and no issues. Got my second TS1000 all hooked up! 20220207_173725.jpg
And my girl is looking better starting to get her green back mostly! 20220207_173759.jpg
I have heard alot of people saying the TSW2000 is a perfect light for a 2x4 so that's basically what I have now. Any light height recommendations I should know about? 26-30 inches seedling stage 25 percent power to about 20-22 inches VEG and dim up to 50 percent power and 18-20 inches for flower and slow dim to 75 percent and last few weeks turn all the way up for all 300 watts!?
