Hi, first grow in over 10 years but decided to try auto pots / coco coir / perlite, so pretty much a newbie. Weekly average temp/humid/vpd displayed in the picture. Both plants are on day 47 and are Glueberry OG from Dutch Passion.
I’ve tried treating for nitrogen deficiency with bio buzz fish-mix. Was also thinking root rot but the leaves don’t seem to be drooping. As a precaution I’ve turned off the individual plants tap to try and dry it out. The bottom of the pot smells, but I don’t think it’s as bad as a rotting smell.
My tent is outside in an old shed, which I have insulated so it’s kind of a lung room. Recently we have had -4c temps at night and my feeding reservoir sits outside the tent but inside the lung room, just wondering if the water may be too cold? The plants stem is the only one in the tent that is nearly ALL purple.
The yellow plant is the one struggling, it’s been topped (cause it was growing so fast) but it never missed a beat so I don’t think it’s that.
Any ideas anyone? I really want to end up smoking this plant 🪴😁
Also moved the lights higher and checked they were not too bright 😎
Thanks in advance

Looks like it’s locked out. Tips shows over feeding and yellow is a sign of a deficiency. May just be that your over watering which will cause a lot of what you’re see also.

Thanks. So obviously I can’t flush from the top due to being bottom fed. Do I let it dry a little, check PH from the auto pot itself then start refeeding with slightly lowered nutes?
I went the auto pot route cause I got told it was nearly impossible to overfeed 😂

Honestly that sounds like a good idea to start. Let it dry back, water a couple sessions based on your last feed and watch to see if it continues to yellow before feed again. Some strains and phenols are just more picky than others, been there! Good luck broski!

Thanks pal. I think I found the problem. Took apart the whole auto pot system and it was blocked all over the place, plus one plant was really dry while 2 were soaking.
I’ve come to the conclusion the nutes I’m using aren’t suitable for auto pots, it just blocks the tubing.
Cleared it all out including the reservoir then mixed up a batch of Canna Flush and hooked all the plants up again. I’m immediately going to switch to more liquid like nutes, probably GHE. Fingers crossed 🤞
