Not an autopot grower, but it definitely seems like they could be prone to salt buildup if you're always putting nutes in the reservoir.
You said your EC is 1.5, is that what goes into the reservoir? Does it go up or down or does the pH change after it's been in the reservoir for a little while? If you take out the pot and top-water with that same 1.5 EC solution, what's the EC and pH of the runoff?

wow guys just found problem I think so I use a blue lab ph controller and it’s faulted saying my ph is 5.9 but it’s really 5.1 so now I bought a pen and tested and made adjustments so it was Low Ph can this be the cause @conor c @weedstoner420 @ProPheT 216 @coreywebster thanks for everyone’s input

That
Get yourself a simple ph drop test kit for £6.
They don't lie and you can always check your meters against it.
Yeah for sure.

Don't listen to everyone bro. Just the ones that know what they r saying. Don't flush. Just do what I said. Water at 6.5 for 3 days, then 6.2.forever. 5.9 a lil low
Yeah bro this is why i grow in dirt organically you dont need to ph fuckall its self adjusting unless you go too hard which i never do I prefer to stay on the lighter side unless what im growing is real hungry well the main thing is at least u know whats wrong and can sort it now bud

Remember the pink/ red won't go away on affected tissue. Watch for new healthy growth
Its down to you i guess i never found dirt hard but i grow other plants not just weed so i used to it so i just roll with it
I had to start in NFT rails because I could use my lab skills. I killed everything in soil (over watering/under watering). The only way I finally grew 1/2 a dozen grotty tomatoes was I used my old coco in my raised beds
some of use were born for hydroI can grow hydro i just dont like it i get what you mean tho its just like how some folk cant pop seeds and kill anything they touch seedlings wise so they only grow with cuts if i was going hydro i probably would go with coco idk i lucky my grandparents were avid gardeners so i picked it up from them mind you my mother has a greenthumb tooI had to start in NFT rails because I could use my lab skills.
