I left em now and I don’t really pay attention to ppm just ec so I won’t be able to get a reading
What’s going on red edges

I turned my led down to 50% was at 75 but it’s maintaining 55-60 th temp 26.c

They look warm under that light with all those edges up lol. I still vote ec to high for a plant with no roots. Maybe a shitty meter and bad knowledge of ec and how to feed coco all together.

It’s not bad advice if you have a salts buildup in your media..Also this is bad advice you should never flush from top using autopotsthanks tho

those are different scale measurements of ppm.. which one is used varies from country to country, U.S predominantly uses the 500 scale, and Europe uses the 700.. ec is actually the constant and the better reading to go by. (and 1.5 is ok)

You would need to flush till you get a good amount of runoff, and then discard it, thereby eliminating the salts built up in your root zone already.

1 tsp epsom salt, 5 liters of water, use as foliar spray, you should see improvement in a couple days.

I’m using auto pots no runoff

Should I spray before lights out?

Don't spray when the lights are going to be on for an extended period, do it just before lights out. Also it's one Tablespoon per 5 liters (not teaspoon).

It's a bit low but shouldn't cause a problem.

They aren't that young to not have roots and I agree with you in general, especially since they're in autopots which should be fed a lower EC than normal.
Thing is though is they aren't uptaking anything properly.
Two solutions, one seems to be to feed higher ec to make up for the fact they aren't drinking enough due to low transpiration.
The other is to increase transpiration.
I'd personally always go with option two when possible. But option one seems to be getting recommended more on here these days , though I personally think its a bandaid.
He was previously running lower temp with higher light intensity.
I might be wrong but I'd say they've been light stressed for ages and stunted overall.
There's two other things I'm not sure on.
One is his nutrients, can't see that been a problem though.
The other is his base water content.. so lock out.

I say no roots not cuz of age but because of health

Gladly say I could be biased and you could be totally right @ProPheT 216
Especially if they've had a bad start in them autopots, they're not exactly the best thing for encouraging a great root mass.
It's all part of the same triangle isn't it.

Not letting upload pic of roots so had to use other phone soz guys but I’m definitely thinking it’s the light or the magnesium also my stems are soild unbendable basically and I’ve turned my lights back down to 400w and currently at 27.c and 60rh but my plan was to go stay in 600w and flip next week and turn em on 720w I’m just tryna get em happy then flip
