I have been growing for several years now with photos, but now I'm hooked on autos lol. I love how fast they grow. I am just looking for some info to make sure i do things correctly . I have 3 going now 1 gorilla cookies 1 gorilla strawberry and 1 random freebie from 42 fast buds. the gorilla cookies is doing great but the other 2 I have been having issues with they seemed to have slowed down in growth. I am using general hydroponics flora nova 3 part with cal mag, kool bloom and molasses. My soil is mother earth 70/30 blend of coco and perlite my runoff ph is around 6.1. Any help is much appreciated

What's your EC/ppm in and out? They look hungry but I've never used those nutes before so I might not be much help :pass:
 
As Lil Dab said, they look hungry…. But without knowing exactly what you’re doing, it’s hard to tell weather a lockout or what….

That being said, I wouldn’t really do to much at this point….chasing deficiencies later in flower isn’t a great idea… you’re running into the “fall colors”, and they slow down on intake anyway. I would just limp them across the finish line (still tell us feed amounts so we can give some input if needed)… :pass:
 
ppm is at like 1400 when i mix my nutes full strength. i feel like thats high but dont know how to lower it
Use less nutrients initially (the general rule of thumb is to use 50% the recommended dose for autos)….

…..or add water to adjust the mixed solution down…. :d5: :pass:

You can just dilute back with RO or add about half the nutes you normally do 700 ppm is typically plenty for auto's :headbang::pass:
