hey man!
i just did some flushing today along with some slurry test for soil
i believe now that its not the heat thats causing all those leaves to turn brown.
its from a nutrient lock out!
my run off ph was @ 5.0
both my cup slurry test was @ 5.0
i thought ffof/happy frog soil was suppose to be good.. guess its not for me.
do you happen to know the ph of your ffof?
are both of you talking about 24/0 with auto?
i just went with what the breeder recommended - which was 18/6

Crazy awesome dude!!
Yeah, as a pre-caution I have ordered a water PH tester and general hydroponics PH up and PH down 8 0z bottles.

My tap water PH is in the 9's. I add 20-25 drops of vinegar/gallon to bring it down to 6.5. I'm using FFOF and my run off water PH is usually 6.3 to 6.5.

18/6 will be fine really! it's all about what you want, having lights on 24 hours a day means lots of heat/humidity high running cost's ect, if you research it though marijuana is a p4 type plant which means it needs no dark period to make full use of its respiratory and photosynthetic systems, in other words you can have the lights on 24 hours a day with lowryders/auto's and so long as you keep other factors reasonable then you should get a fatter yield! but if 18/6 is whats recommended do that for sure, just something to know for next time! for me 20/4 is the best compromise

i disagree about 24 hour sunlight on autos will give maximum yield, i use 20/4 for autos...im sorry but a flowering plant NEEDS darkness, that is what makes it flower, plain and simple. theres no arguing to it...if anyone doubts me, gladly check out my auto thread, if u got autos nicer than that ill give u 100 bucks

I don't think you're correct. Autoflowers will flower either 24/24 or 12/12, regardless. They don't need the darkness period to trigger it. Yield on the various cycles used is much debated tho.i disagree about 24 hour sunlight on autos will give maximum yield, i use 20/4 for autos...im sorry but a flowering plant NEEDS darkness, that is what makes it flower, plain and simple. theres no arguing to it...if anyone doubts me, gladly check out my auto thread, if u got autos nicer than that ill give u 100 bucks

My lowryder 2 has been on 18/6 for it's whole life so far and it has tons of hairs! You do NOT need to switch auto flower to 12/12...period. This does not mean that you can't, but most people will tell you 18/6 or 24/24. I don't even know why we are discussing this...it is STATED by the joint doctor himself to use 18/6 for best yields.

i never said they WOULDNT flower without darkness i said the MAX. Yield would not be 24/0..they DO need darkness to preform the necessary functions vital to reach their MAXIMUM flowering potentional PERIOD. of course they can flower on 24/0 but it wont be maximum, isnt that what we talking about here?
