So... i havent had too many problems with my set up. I started these 2 autoflowers (the bigger ones) and then after a few weeks i started the photoperiod plants (smaller ones) Anyways, i just noticed a few things wrong yesterday. 1) I see rust like spots on the auto lower leaves, and it has spread to more leaves since yesterday. 2) and i dont think this is a problem but i do wonder... The photo plants arent growing too much in heigth as fast as the autos did but are growing leaves like mad. 3) i havent used any nutrients yet, besides one time we used too much while they were very young and chemical burned them im pretty sure but the plants got passed it and started to look alot better.

I am using a 600 watt HPS. I THINK in 5 gal pots. PH in water is around 6.5. I water every other day.

are you using soil that already contains nutrients? Is your water filtered or straight from the tap?

there's nothing wrong with your water ..and that doesn't look like nite burn to me..but it does look over watered..you should be leaving your pot dry out between waterings...roots do best in warm moist soil not wet..your drowning your roots if your watering every day...in a 5 gallon bucket once or twice a week is enough to be watering ...hope this helps

Have you fans running in with the plants ..it also looks very humid around them..you need fresh air 24/7 around your plants aswell or they will be very slow growing..

They look pretty good to me. Unless you are running really high temps you probably can slow down on the watering. A 5 gal pot is easy to check by lifting it. Those spots on the leaves wouldn't concern me too much if not spreading. Looks like they got some nutes spilled on them.

they dont look over watered but let them dry out more if when u water/feed u have a little run off and they aint nute burnt . there nice and green everywhere else, ph of soil should b about 6.8-7.0 neutral. i dont see any major probs or much of a minor one really , just keep an eye on them . good luck.

he or she said they water every other day of course it is over watered if that's the case ..no need to check ph when growing in soil..the brown on the leafs is from overwatering..to much humidity around the plants..

ph is very important ., things get locked out below about 6.5 and above 7.0 .so no need to have an idea of what your ph is, is incorrect . and if they were so over watered why hasent the droop set in, im not saying they they are perfect but they aint drowning .good luck kpot.

There absolutely wicked looking wouldn't worry at all maybe give a slight bita nutes to the autos and I mean slight
Your autos look sativa and stretchy maybe lower the light a bit
Photo look good also u can fck up a photo as much as u want cause u will have time for them to recover

Some of your other leaves looked deformed also from the picture. If that is the case then i would look into possible calcium deficiency.
