Hi. This is my weirdo Northern Lights auto. Can someone help me figure out wtf is going on with her? I've got four autos going and she's the only one having this issue...

Those are signs of Overwatering.

Thank you. And welcome to my journal! You may be right. I won't know for a couple days though. I shall wait.
WooHoo! I have been following for a while, didn't realize it was my 1st post. Sorry, it's like I already know you, but in a Peeping Tom kind of way... lol.
Hi BooWho2!
I am confident in the Overwatering diagnosis... bloated lower leaves. Brown leaf edges, up curling leaf tips, droopy leaves, leaf discoloration... BUT it can be caused by more things than watering too much or too often. Low light intensity, high humidity, hot root temps, bugs...
Since she is the only one with issues, I would guess Too much, too often or root temps... is that a heating pad under her? Is that a heater next to the pot?
Shouldn't be too hard to figure out and Fix!
Good Luck!
When the leaf points curl up and brown that could also be a light burn issue, which might have been a result from the difference in light between the Mars and the replacements and back to the Mars. The lowest and shaded leaves seem less affected.
That is indeed a sample of my messy writing.
Those are originally from Chris....sent to you from me.
Sheddie had it spot-on!
Boo I think plants are like humans. Some are just completely defective. Just treat her like a defective person. Be nice, try your best to give her what she needs, but if it all goes tits up, trust in your knowledge that it was her, not you. You’ve grown enough queens to know what works.
I bet $5 you make her sing. Coz you’re that kind of person.

Happy June! I hope everyone is doing well. Though I would drop an update while I have some time. First, Skywalker OG is jarred and sitting at 60 rh, she gave me 6 ounces and….5 nice seeds! Not sure why but I’m not complaining. 
The weirdo Northern lights is kinda ugly still but plodding along. I think it must have been an overwatering situation (not sure why since it was her first watering in the 3 gallon) along with possibly expired Rx Blend nutrients. I swapped the ones that had been giving me significant tip burn in my last grows with a newer (I guess) batch and so far so good! I did check the LUX and it was right around 30k so I don’t think that was part of the issue. She is one small “V”. Here are a couple of pics:
We shall see what happens with her. Next up is the Strawberry Gorilla. She is loaded and actually ready to chop if I want to, but her buds are fatter every day and she smells like poo…and those are usually my favorites after cure so I’m gonna let her go for a while. Yum.
Next is Kalashnikov. I up potted her so crooked it’s embarrassing!
She’s “meh”, and just kind of “flat” and it seems like something is off with her. Anyhow…last but not least is the Chocodope:
She has a beautiful shape and I love the long, thin leaves she puts out with her flowers. My 10 oz of her is long gone and I’m looking forward to having her in my stash again. I didn’t get pics of the ATF, but she was a strong starter and she is thriving. The first Critical Purple Kush never came up. The second one did but looks iffy. Know how I fix that? Drop another seed and she will kickstart!
Alien Rock Candy is soaking atm. That’s all for me today. I hope your gardens and your lives are green!

You've got a lot more plants on the go than I remembered, and they're all looking great save the NL! If Rx Blend goes bad I probably should throw out my remaining box, but I probably won't just to see if it works. 
Nice haul, and seeds to boot!
Here's to an excellent recovery.
Smells like poo...yum. Got it!
I just did that with my CapJunky but I plan on pulling it straight as it grows.
That's a beautiful open shape and it's going to look great when it's heavy with flowers!
Those "horrible" smellers, like poo and puke, skunk, seem to tickle my taste buds as well Boo! Once they catch on fire something happens!
Good morning Boo
Your garden is beautiful
Your garden is beautiful
Congrats on a fine harvest, Boo!
It's hard to chop 'em when they keep getting fatter..
Ha! That's not too bad- I usually get them about 2" off center in the pot...and somehow, I never seem to notice it till I'm done..
I also grew an ugly Northern Lights, but I made that one get ugly, with too much Bud Explosion and Sweet Candy...
She's a beauty!
I've still got about a half oz of mine..still works, too!

Happy Father's Day all you daddies out there! Here is a quick little update on the things growing over here. First up is Chocodope and Kalashnikov.Together in the tent - big difference in color between the two.
Little weirdo Kalash.
Guess who didn't notice how tall Choco was getting and let her tops get burned....shit.
Ugh. That northern lights is also a mess. Oh well. The gal on the left is one of my two outdoor grows this year. Alaskan Thunderfuck (thank you again VG). She was a strong starter and has continued to be. I've had her outside on my deck for a couple of weeks but put her in the tent this afternoon because the dudes I hired are finally starting the redo on my deck and I don't feel safe leaving her out there for the week. She is almost 5 weeks old. If that 8th node is a little taller tomorrow I will top her.
What a mess.
ATF has some big ass leaves and really good node spacing. I decided a couple of months ago that I was only growing 2 photos outside this summer, and I would start them a little later than usual so I didn't have such huge plants this year. ATF germinated in a day or two. Critical Purple Kush (twice!) never germinated. Alien Rock Candy never germinated. Finally I got a Wedding Cake to sprout so she's my second for the summer.
WC is on the left, she is 8 days old. On the right....a Wookies x Wizard gifted to me by our PNW autoflower seed maker!
The WxW is 6 days old and was a strong starter and is as tall as WC. Thank you so much Justin, I will do my best to help her shine.
Also, for anyone interested, I set aside the Prescription Blend set I was using that was really burning the tips of my previous few grows and pulled out another set I had waiting in the wings. I have been using them since I up potted the Kalashnikov and Chocodope and the problem seems to have disappeared. FWIW. Thanks for looking and enjoy your week!
That’s the kind of thing I like to open a page to!

Looks like a strong grower too, she’s got some tough competition there
Wedding cake is in her blood too… she’ll be more like a wedding cake you bite into thinking it’s just vanilla but it ends up much more complex and memorable. As close to Father’s Day as I’ll get- my cats and my auto seeds lol
Happy Father’s Day to @Carcass who showed me my first auto and is here putting in work as we speak
and all the other dads.
She's looking real good!
Both nice n' healthy though..
Northern Lights is what she is, but everything else is looking great, Boo!
And, you've done pretty damn well with them, I'd say..
Thanks, Son!
Come for the plants, stay for the family love! 
Choco and Kalash are looking great, but I'm confused about some of the rest (might be Covid-brain). You have an 8-node tall ATF that has been outside for a few weeks and it's part of the outdoor grow along with the WC young'un? Is the WxW staying inside to plug the hole where the ATF is now with the NL?
for the questions!

The WxW likes either. She’s twice as tall outdoors but WaY more bud indoor (so far)
Beauties all the way and the summer run is taking shape with an outstanding lineup.

Lol. Yeah, that ATF shot up really quickly! She should be in a 45 gallon by the end of the week and down on a pallet outside. I’m slightly over my limit atm. The WC will go outside with the ATF likely next week. It’s in the mid to upper 90s here all this week and into the next.Come for the plants, stay for the family love!

I always say it is too hot here in the summer to grow autos outside. However, for science, I’m gonna put the Wookie Wizard in a 5 gallon cloth bag and onto on of the AC Infinity SIP stands and see how that goes. If she likes it that’s great, if not I will move her into that spot you were asking about. Clear as mud? And, do you have COVID? - Thread starter

I’m glad I have plenty of seeds to experiment with!
It will be interesting to see how she does outside on the SIP stand. I have a feeling she will thrive. I really liked using it on the Skywalker Kush, and the Strawberry Gorilla auto was super easy too.
