Overall, the plant looks healthy and taking measures to 'correct' whatever the discoloration is can open the door to other issues. I call that a rusty-brown color - the third picture is brown - and I think it looks like the beginnings of a cal/mag deficiency (particularly the third picture) - assuming you've been giving your nutes at the proper ph for your medium.

In general, I'd say a 5 gallon pot minimum and trade all the CFLs for one 600w HPS.

Thx and I haven't checked the ph level in two weeks because I ra n out of solution. So if it is a ph problem, do I flush than give some cal mag? Yea I think those 5 gallons would of been way better cuz the plants are close to 5 feet. I had just googled auto flowers and they had said 3 gallons but most def going to change light n pot

First off, invest in a digital PH meter: accuracy and consistency are very important. You have to set the PH every time you water, no exceptions - I once had to go to the store to get a new meter when I was already very late for something important - no exceptions.

I wouldn't do anything corrective based on those photos. If you are alternating waterings (just water, nutes, just water, nutes, just water, etc), then you could give a little extra clean water to get some additional runoff, but I don't see a need to try and specifically flush the soil or add cal/mag. I would, however, closely monitor new growth.

Night time temps from 65-69 are what I shoot for. For me, that means having to heat during lights out in the winter.

I think a temp difference between day/night is more important than the temp itself.

Oh ok yea the ph tester with drops does kinda suck. Will most def switch to digital. I think temps r a lil colder than 68 degrees when lights off so WaT should I do to keep it warmer? so I never did adjust ph levels before? So if it's kinda low, do I just use ph up when I water to get it where it needs to be? Thanks again in advance!!

I would try get at least 7°C differance between lights on and lights out

I would have drops as well as the digital tester. Sometimes if you haven't calibrated they can go out of whack. I periodically test with drops after my digital ph meter goes in. For the 8 dollars I like the piece of mind.

Plants are looking pretty darn good though

I have THE plants in 3 gallon pots with Fox farm soil. I feed them big bloom and Tiger Bloom about 1/4 THe required dose every other watering. And Bush doctor sweet and dandy about once a week. About 6 cfl lights all 150 equivalent* and one 300 equi. Water about every 4 days. Their Northern lights auto flowers in week 7. This plant in picture hasn't had no problems until this week. Appreciate the help
