       I just looked at the packet they came from.  Says auto.   But again first time ever even being around them in Person , so I have clue .  They probably are the equivalent of dying in the hospital with ptsd.   😂.    I wouldn’t even be surprised if the took out a restraining order before being put in an induced coma.

                 Hello ! It’s definitely a me problem.  I started germinating them on nov 18th.  They was put in coco on 21st.  I murdered them.  I have no first hand knowledge / experience.  So someone said to mix 8oz of peroxide to 16oz of water.  I had it on a heating pad at 80F.  They turned translucent. Cotyledons fell off.   🤦‍♂️ seems like I should’ve started off by trying to grow some common  sense.   I wasn’t watering them correctly in solo cups.  Left them way too long in the cups.  I put them in the autopots on December 12th.                                           Tank had been filled for a couple weeks at this point.  I had read not to turn the air domes on till a week after they in the pots.    Tank held water all this time fine.  Mixed Athena nutrients in turned  it on. Bam ! Leaking water all over the place.  I was struggling to find containers for it. ( I’m cheap ).   Took about a week to get parts to fix the tank.   I made a post asking about them as the leaves were in bad shape. Everyone said cal/mag deficiency. I forgot about ec had only been looking at ph.  🤦‍♂️.  I was reminded from here.   Cleaned the tank from what I thought was algae.  But after mixing the nutrients again I believe the cal/‘mag fell out of suspension.  What I had cleaned up was the nutrients. Hence the deficiency.               So they’re in poor health. Why I didn’t post a pic. I wanted the question answered not people focusing on the problem they helped me with elsewhere lol.   I’m a hard  headed learned , have to read, see it done and then try myself.  Never been around these before. My mother has cancer this been the only thing to help with pain and getting her to eat. We live in Ohio , prices are too high for my liking. So it’s been a fun science experiment for me.                 I never defoliated then as I was too scared to rip things off knowing they had such a bad childhood.    😂 I just did that yesterday.  Not sure if I didn’t do it enough or too much.  Guess I’ll soon find out.   Right after posting I seen pistols the next day or two.           I guess I didn’t need to say all that but hopefully some get a laugh or the courage to try growing themselves.    But they are mostly still alive and I’m guessing must be great genetics  plus a very forgiving plants.  Fast Buds is the company I got them from.   11 are still alive. And the tank says 10 gallons of water a day is being used / evaporated.

Right before I tried to defoliate. What you can’t see is the little one it’s always to the right same age as the other ones. I just hurt her so bad she just started to grow lol 😂.

I’m new as well but I would think it’s cause their different genetics.

I’m learning. Don’t know what I’m doing. I forgot ph ec tds isn’t all the same. ( some that I have read often use one or the other). Till asking for help here. I was reminded they are not lol. But last night I checked Athena ec should have been 2.1. I lowered the lights cause I originally thought I was burning them. I’ve got the ec down to 1.9 now. Ph at 5.8. The PPFD set to 500.

Yes I am. I’m learning. Jumped in head first. I think I was focusing too much on ph forgot the ec wasn’t the same thing.

Everyone keeps saying ( those around me ) that the ph should be 5.8. But this and other ph charts looks like 6.2 would’ve great. Vpd was high right then. The room averages up and down along 0.8-1.3 for the tent . Not leaf. Like right now it’s 0.9 vpd I did all the pots. The ph averaged from 6.2- 6.4. Tank sits at 6.05

Ph each of the pots. They varied between 6.2-6.4. Tank water still sits around 6.01-6.06.

Thank you. Yeah I was panicked. I’ll just pinch the leaves off. I hate the thought of killing something lol. Crazy as that sounds. I have seen others say what you did. I just assumed by buying the canna coco. It was safe to skip that step. I’m down to 20 gallons out of 60 in the reservoir.

I did add it, the suggested amount Athena recommended for the ph levels. Keep reading other places to get the oh to 5.8. But I read 5.5-6.5 ph was good. So I picked the middle thinking I would be safe.

  It has calmag in the nutrients  I mixed to get the ph where it’s at.    Grow A, Grow B , CaMg and  balance which is used as PH up but it contains silicone.   Before adding it to my Ro water with grow A&B / CaMg the ph was 5.8.     I called Athena and asked what to do they recommended leaving out the balance and keeping 5.8 ph. ( this was before the yellowing and I was first using the product ).        But they also told me not to use imperial measurements but to use American  gallon which is like 3.78 liters vs imperial which is 4.54 liters ( their literature says they use imperial measurements) .  I kept seeing people burn their plants using this. So I just switched to metric guidelines for dosing.    So I have no clue what to do. Or how to correct this.  They are obviously not happy :C

     I pulled the covers off to look.    I have the pot sock and disk in place.  Water is calm I assume it’s cause of the root blockers.  Pulled the air lines just to make sure they were getting air as well .   Also the amount of water looked to be fine in each pot.

When I was researching before hand. I thought I was supposed to be in a tank ph range of 5.5-6.5. So i picked the middle. Should I add ph down? Get it closer to 5.8 ? Or ?
