Just for my own reference, I have started the 2 autos on a weak nutrient solution today. 0.5ml of each, Grow, Bloom + Topmax, per litre of water.
I gave the 2 autos a bigger drink as the pots were extra light today, they are going through the water in a day and a half right now. So they auto's got 500ml water each, the top 44 x blueberry got 300ml of only ph'd water with bio grow as this is still in veg, and the urban poison got 250ml ph'd plain water.
Even with 500ml water going into the auto's pots, they are still not giving any run off from the pots. I do not want to drown them, but I would like to test the soils ph level. There is only the single bladed leaves at the bottom going a bit yellow, the rest of the plant looks super healthy so maybe no need to test ph as all water going in is set to ph 6.

Got a problem with this one... Its been droopy for the past few days now. It's ready for another water possibly today or tomorrow, the pot is light again. But the last time I watered, it never perked up. It has just recently been topped but has recovered from that as the 2 new tops are now about an inch taller starting 2 new tops. But what could be wrong with this plant? The lower leaves are going yellow, a few of them have brown dead blotches too.
The last time I watered, I checked PH of the run off. It was not an exact measurement as it was the second pot watered and the second water to be captured mixed with the tiny amount of runoff from the first pot. But the PH was 6.7 which I don't think could cause this but I may be wrong and that is why I am asking? lol
Could it be over feeding? I have been giving a half dose of 1ml/litre of bio-grow nutes. And the plant is getting 500ml of water every 3ish days once the pot is light again.

I'm not sure what your problem is but the droopy leaves and yellowing could be overwatering though your soil doesn't look that wet from the pictures.
What kind of ph meter do you have?
You could also have a N def.

Essentials PH meter, its in the first post if you want to see a pic of it. or http://www.amazon.co.uk/Essentials-...378850504&sr=8-1&keywords=essentials+ph+meter
Soil is quite dry, if I was to dig down a few inches it would be going to dust soon, this one is ready to drink, one isn't and the 2 bigger ones are almost ready to drink too. I will get pics of them all up soon. Cant get a camera for long enough lol

The essentials meter has a good rep so are you sure it's calibrated, always worth checking if unsure.
Again I'm not sure but like I said could be a nitrogen def

Yep all callibrated, got plenty calibration solution and its stayed spot on so far. Ill do another water tomorrow and check again. I might do a good flush on it and see how it goes from there. There was nutes in the soil to start with (biobizz) and i thought it was time to start die to yellowing leaves starting to show. But i will flush and give a weak solution to start with. I think that may be the best route.
shouldnt biobizz give it all it needs as in nutrients?

I'm not familiar with biobizz soil at all.
How long does it say it feeds for?
I guess another possibility is that you have been underwatering?

Ive thoughabout underwatering too but it never perks up when watered at all, the rest of the plants are fine on that much water. Perhaps rootbound maybe? Should i bother disturbing thr roots to check them?

The pots are not as big as they look. They are not straight walled pots, they have a smaller square on the base of the pot. I did know they would not live in that pot forever. I will be able to get more pots and more soil tomorrow.
Today, I flushed the pots with 3L of water PH'd to 6.4. And 2L of run-off came out with a slight brownish/yellow tint and a PH of 6.7. So the PH of the soil is quite good, the nutes is keeping it low. I have found since starting the nutes, the water does not need PH balanced as the nutes lowers it to 6.4 always without any PH down.
The only thing I can think of is I have not started the nutes early enough, or the plant is root bound. Well tomorrow when the water settles and it is not so heavy, I will carefully lift out the plant from the pot and check the roots. If need be I will go get some soil and pots. The autos will not need a change I wouldn't think as they are already in flowering and shouldn't be disturbed, shouldn't they?

Well I just watered the rest and the PH is fine with all, have upped the nutes to the normal dose due to them receiving half dose for just over a week now.
The droopy plant is not showing any signs of recovering. I may open a new thread so that it gets the attention it needs to help recovery
Here is a pic update of all 4 plants:
Top 44 x Bubblegum:
This is the poorly looking plant, been well flushed then fed. PH is 6.7 of run off. What else can I do apart from wait? I have fed this with 2ml/litre of Bio Grow.
Urban Poison:
This plant has recovered very well from its poor start. The plant wanted to fall over at one point and has now strenghened up. I have since tied the top down and will top soon to promote bushing as this one will be used for gaining cuttings from to determine sex and to provide for more plants for the second round.
Auto Blueberry x Auto Sweet Tooth:
Doing good, showing good signs of progress and pistols are all over the place, buds should fill out soon
Auto Jack x Auto Blueberry:
Also showing great progress. This one is a few days ahead of the other auto in terms of flowering progress but still very happy with this one.
