    I see this problem when I use small pots for organic grows. In 10l soil if my plants stays small i am fine. If it gets big like this then i see this issue. Potting up mid flower has worked for me many times. Old damage remains but the plants make it to a solid finish. MonsterEnergy and others grow organically in small pots without issue. No idea how they do it.

    Thats interesting to know. My next grow I was going to be doing them in 8ltr fabric pots, I do have 12ltr fabric pots also so might switch it to them. Cheers for the input mate appreciated

    8 litre pots will be too small mate, atleast ten for an auto, 12 max,

    I think you may have over done it with the feed, especially cal mag.

    Giving them a flush to remove some of the food from the medium may work.

    The lights should be 18 inches or about 40cm for the top of the plant too.

    I love fabric pots. I use a large saucer to catch the runoff and let it sit in the runoff sucking it back up. This way the soil gets completely hydrated. If there is any runoff left after an hour or two I then drain the runoff (usually into another plant if I have one that is thirsty)

    I know this goes against everything but at the same time my plants are generally healthy and grown well to finish.

    Why 12 max? I was having issues with the Cindy Jock auto in 11liters. Potted up one of them to 19 liters mid flower and she grew much better than her sisters that stayed in 11.

    Cheers for the advice mate, think I will just start over. I do have issues with height as my box is limited to the attic space I have. Feeding has always been an issue for me and that is why my next will be done through a diary.

    with the excess magnesium yellowing she would have easily dropped 90% of those leaves even after correcting the problem,
    she just went to far down that yellow brick road, better to start over than waste more time just to watch her slowly die over the next weeks

    there's always more seeds to pop

    best of luck with your next grow matey
