Thanks makka for the reply, it is actually 3 fans coming out of each node on each side, all over the plant so there are 3 x the leaves on the plant (possibly 3 x the bud sites?!).

Why do you think this trait would be undesirable, because the plants energy split between making more buds therefore smaller buds?
yeah i was thinking the same but maybe it wont work that way im not sure tbh but ive had mutated plants and the yield was always smaller on them i had one that only grew 3 leaflets all the way through which was also down on yield but you never know thats the fun part lol

When I potted up in to 10l I was only given 1l of water and wasn't getting any run off but I started seeing problems with plants I so tested run of 5.8 in and had 4.2 out so I flushed it though with 10m a&b till I had loads of run off bottom on tent was like a swimming pool so I left it a few days to dry a bit checked it today plants look really pale on bottom of plant and brown patches on the leafs on the top so just flooded them again and now getting 5.6 out with 6.2 going in but this time I used 15m a&b and 10m of cal mag aswell so see how they look in a few days now lol

Afternoon lads well flushing my autopots later tonight for some unknown reason the pH in the trays is at 6.5 but in the tank its 5.7 the lines are clean so its in the pots ffs which would explain my purps problem
Gonna mix some nutes/calmag pH to 5.5 and flush all 4 till I get 5.7 and go from there
This has really pissed on mi chips man as Ive jus flipped them few days ago lol
Just a thought. I had a similar problem with auto pots. Are you cleaning pipes des etc with water or adding a flushing solution. I think there was some sort of salt build up on the plastic on mine. I started cleaning them with Clearex I think it's called. No swings in ph after that. Sorry if that's stating the obvious. Like I said, just a thought

Appreciated m8 I thought the same so tested at both ends and it was same.
I flushed them now and the run Off is at 5.8/9 on them all I will check tomorrow and see if it's still stable although I expect it to rise a little as the plants leech the nutes from the tray water but will see lol

haha lol , i thought when you said you left your tent to dry to meant you left the plants in there to soak it up lol

as long as your ph out reading is in range you should be ok , like i said before just keep changing the ph each feed until it stabilizes, you could do a few flushes but that way your loosing growtime with potential to stress your plants
