I am fairly new to growing & have never grown this G13 autoberry strain before, so please forgive my ignorance. I have had a couple successful non-auto grows in the past & a few failures as well.

I knew my plant wasn't a spectacle of health from the start, but was trying to gimp it through to the finish line. I have been battling what I thought was a cal/mag deficiency through the entire grow & the temps were higher than they should have been, but perhaps it has got some other issues going on now as well?

It is about 9.5" tall, growing in bubble bucket under T5 (288W) & LED (160W). I lost track of time but probably going into week 8 now, so not expecting much more life from it anyway. I was hoping to flush it next week & chop.

Is the plant just naturally dying off now & buds changing color as it ripens? Or is there something else severely wrong with it?

1. The leaves are rapidly developing the rust colored spots in the middle of the leaves & spreading out.
2. The buds & trichomes are also starting to take on a a different shade of color in blotches... almost a reddish?
3. I am not sure what is going on down at the base, it is like it has a tumor or growing the buds upside down?

I understand at this point the plant is what it is. My main concern is will it be okay to smoke or does it have some sort of disease, fungal issue or something else that could be harmful? Any feedback is requested & appreciated.

Put the thread in the 'infirmary sick plant' section also mate. I bet Namvet will help.

I'm sorry but I don't know what it is.

I would add the PH and EC and temps with lights on/off just cause someone is bound to ask numbers.

Wow, I am not an autoflower expert by any stretch but I have grown some photos before. I have never seen anything like that growth at the bottom. I would be interested to know what it is as well.

I can't see but one of your pics for some reason but rust spots are normally a sign of calcium and reddish/purple blotches are normally phosphorous problems. But, like dude said, it could very well be ph causing your problems. I think she is fine to smoke unless you have some mildew or mould it shouldn't be a problem, health wise. That is just my opinion. Maybe someone with more knowledge will chip in before long.

Good luck with her buddy, I hope it works out for you.

Thanks for the tip dude! I try to keep the PH around 6.0, the EC is around 2.4 & on a 20/4 light cycle. Using mostly lucas formula as the base (FloraMicro & FloraBloom) and adding dyna-gro mag pro (5ml/gal), Great white (mycorrhizae) and had been using big bud until last change out.
