A66BB7C1-AB4E-443C-A434-CECBAF34FFA3.jpeg Got a couple of young auto plants that are looking not so good growing in coco vermiculite mix being fed on gh micro/bloom and cal mag using the Lucas formula temps are around 24 degrees Celsius humidity around 60-65%

Leaves look almost lime yellow from the stem up with what looks like specs of yellow kinda like a staining on them any ideas what it could be?8BBE82D6-8B45-4BAB-9F47-946E7B050A14.jpeg

Several concerns:

Check your plants for pests...carefully.
Did you buffer your coco before you planted in it?
Why did you add vermiculite...this is going to go against your coco's ability to drain. Don't change it now, being you're growing autos, but you may want to revisit this after your run and either go straight coco or add perlite...but vermiculite, in this instance isn't really your friend.
Elaborate on what you're feeding schedule is...give the details, as to pH, how often you water / feed, feed strength, etc.

^^^ This

I don't see pests, but looks like you're dumping nute water on the leaves. Cut it out. Water around the plant, not on it.

Vermiculite was used going off videos/info on the web there’s that much contradicting info around.

Feeding 2ml cal mag 2ml micro 4ml bloom per 2.8 litres every 3-4 days at the minute

Ph is generally around 5.8-6.0

Other 5 plants exactly the same feed/media/temps etc but growing healthy and well but could be as you say overspray so I’ll keep an eye on it

Definitely not pests as that was the first thing I checked And I can’t find anything as for deficiencies I can’t find anything that looks remotely similar

Iv stopped using the spray bottle now so should make it easier to avoid overspray

I’ll post an update when they’re a bit further along

Thanks for the suggestions

I know this is kinda off topic but I just want growers to he aware that many breeders are pushing shitty auto genetics, so far outta 8 seeds from canuck seeds only 3 have grown all 5 others died off during the seedling stage. I wish I had of heeded the advice of many people in the auto forum saying that you should stick to Mephisto, Dinafem, and Dutch Passion.

Iv had most luck with dinafem but this last lot weren’t brilliant ages to germinate and then they weren’t the best grows still I’d rate dinfem above a lot of others will be trying mephisto and Seedsman next
