Sensiseeds - Skunk#1 Auto - Day 53

Hey everyone, looking for any feedback on my first auto grow. Have grown couple times before, over ten years ago but still very much a newb in practice.

Had 3 auto fem seeds from sensi from a friend. Sat in drawer for 2 years before built small cupboard to grow in November.

2 seeds didn't germinate using sink in cup to paper towel method.

Growing in bio bizz lite soil, 11 liter pot, using bio bizz range under 280w (actual draw) COB LED.

My surviving seed grew like a dream until about 2 weeks into flower (has reached over 2ft, beautiful, typical dark green skunk leaves, abundance of foliage).

Since then, battling problems I haven't really been able to pinpoint, however buds have continued to grow, how much bigger they could be is up for debate.

Summary of flowering period:
-Dry, almost crispy feeling to leaves (similar to when a HPS would be too close causing heat stress, but my LED is 1-1.5ft)
-Leaves gradually degrade, starting as brown / rusty spots with yellow halo leading to yellowing of leaves
- Some leaves suffered more severe necrosis than others
- no obvious presence of pests, checking daily
- Temps and humidity in range
- Brown rusty spots present on leaves receiving most light I.e. Upper and outer leaves, the lower / inner leaves not as severely or not affected at all and the leaves feel healthier
- treating with cal -mag had no impact, potentially made worse
- Flushed 3 days ago (3x times pot), plain water. It needs watering after 3 days!!! Altho did have fan on pot to prevent over saturation of roots.

I'm guessing this has around 20 days left to go. I just gave a lite feed with bio bizz bloom and top max, with bit of cal -mag and will see how she reacts in next week.

I trimmed her early in flower to allow better light penetration and again after the flush targeting the worse of the bad foliage

Down the home stretch day 67, she's on flush, leaves turning yellow as she draws her last goodness from the leaves.

I never got to the bottom of what was plaguing this girl from the moment she started swelling, weird leaf problems with orange spots, necrosis and dry leaves. Cal mag and mid flush didn't seem to help.

She looks fairly good tho and I'm satisfied with my first auto.

Have stocked up on lots of new strains and from seedsman, mostly autos but got few photos as freebies. I think I'm going to do these three autos together next
