Most pathetic plant I've grown. Any tips?

This plant has been a pain in the ass. It is my second indoor grow and I'm growing 2 autos in a 2x2x5 tent. Even my first indoor plant was looking better and I was using only 125watts :/ Any tips on this one? What is going on? Has been supercropped and defoliated 2-3 days ago so I hope she stops being droopy and sad after the stressful event. She is very pale and has brown spots looking like a CalDef and even brownish/purple pistils LMAO.

Strain: Gorilla Glue Auto, Barney's Farm
Age: 36 days old
Light: 240w Meijiu at 50cm (20in)
Soil: BioBizz LightMix, 5gal pots
Nutes: CalMag(Synthetic), BioGrow, BioBloom, TopMax. All at 1/2 strength, except calmag
Temps: 22-24°C
RH: 35-50
pH: 6.2 - 6.5

Maybe It's because I'm mixing synthetics with organics, or because I've been watering with very cold water(not anymore). The other plant looks fine though. Please help me.

Cold roots = poor nutrient uptake. Fix that before anything.

Thanks for the reply. I really hope that cold water was the problem. Unfortunately I don't think it is because the second plant is looking good with no spots and I've been watering it with cold water as well :(

Could your ph readings be off? What are you using to test PH? Have you calibrated your pen recently? Or do you have a test kit you can check it with? I'd do a slurry ph test too, just to see where you're at. Also what's your runoff ec?

I have a pH a pen and dip it in 4pH and 7pH solution and the readings are spot on. I haven't done a slurry test. I will do one. And I also don't have an EC pen. I will buy a BlueLab when I finish this grow. I contacted BioBizz and they told me how to use their feeding schedule with autoflowers.

It could just be as simple as overwatering. Let it dry for a day or two but dont let it get too dry. That could be causing the droopyness .. what's humidity at?

No it's not. I water every 2-3 days when she needs it. I lift the pot and also stick my finger into the soil. It's ok. It's my last grow anyways. I'm fucking done. Thanks for the replies.

Ahh man I feel ya. Growing isn't always a walk in the park. Back before it was legal I had 76 plants in my back bedroom when the police kicked in the door...said I was done then. Started back a few years later when it got legal and did well for the first year or so, then I bought some clones from the hood and got mites BAD. Ruined my whole garden...I lost thousands. Said I was done then...Now here we are a few years later and I have a room full of plants again...Even though its hard, its VERY rewarding when you get it dialed in. Don't give up just take a break and try harder next time. Every run I take at it I get a little better! Keep your head up.

Hello my friend. Looks like you had it way worse than me. Very tough situations you were into. I get what you're saying. I really should not make decisions when I'm angry. I've told you before in another thread that I stay with my family in the winter, so because theres no room in the house I have my growtent in my bedroom. Next to my bed. The fans didn't allow me to sleep so removed them and had the tent open for the temps to be ok. Now the super intense light hasn't allowed me to sleep for many many weeks. I basically sleep 2-3 hours a night and feel awful during the day. I paid 450euros for my setup and I've spent DAYS doing research on how to grow. I even contacted BioBizz to make me an autoflower feeding schedule. All of this, for a pathetic plant. At least the other one is looking good but what confuses me is that both have been treated the same. So annoying and confusing. Peace.

Bro since I had the mites, I've learned to keep the garden like a damn laboratory. I went a few years without growing in the space and still washed it all down with bleach before I started back up again.

I grow in my basement and have a 8x8 room down there cut in Half 4x8 for veg and 4x8 for flower. I hang panda paper on the walls and floor and change it every few months to keep things clean. Most of all I NEVER bring in outside genetics in clone form. Seeds only for me, I dont trust anyone but God. Got me once wont get me again.

Also I'm always aware of what's getting into the room via your intakes. I use ladies nylons to filter all the air coming in the room. Sounds crazy, but never wear the same clothes your outside in nature, in the garden. If I cut the grass, I change before I go down there. Sorry but no visitors to the room. I even have two white lab coats for my wife and I to wear while we are down there...(she wont wear hers.. lol)

So far just keeping everything really clean and tidy is my method. (Knock on wood.) I don't use neem or anything as a deterrent. I watch my plants closely, probably to closely. I'm disabled and home all day with the plants so I spend a lot of time down there. If any pest do get in Ill catch it fast and react accordingly.

yes the changing of outside clothes is a good idea i live alone so i wear just underwear in there usually i am not disabled but i am unemployed and spend a lot of time just making sure everything is clean them damn mites nobody ever warned me i was in week 7 of flower before i realized the white spots on the fan leaves was not sugar lol i managed to harvest and do a 3 bucket wash with lemon and baking soda it really really got rid of 95% of all the webs eggs and fibers the smoke turned out good but the yield suffered a lot i am sure those red eyed little bastards are no joke

I hear spider mites like pubes. They turn into spider crabs if left long enough.

Might want to buzz to keep yourself safe.

If you are showing signs of mg def and your 100% sure your pH is on, then I would go with half strength for plants that size isn't cutting it.

It doesn't look like MagDef and I said that I feed everything at 1/2 strength, EXCEPT CALMAG.
