White Widow Autoflower Grow Journal 2020

OK, so it looks like it's RO water.

You'll be missing a lot of minerals that cannabis likes that can be found in regular tap water. Ca and Mg are big components of a healthy plant and RO water contains neither. So often growers need to have a calmag supplement to make up for it.

So just use the water out the sink haha?and I got bottle of cal mag ill make the 4
.5 with the sink water then and see how she does

Perfect! Don't use the calmag yet, and it's always good to let the tap water sit for 24 hours to get to room temperature.
 
Don't forget my watering advice :)
 
Not sure if I should be worried about these they started popping up on lower leaves all top leaves are fine. I started calmag at 3.5 last Saturday I just made the 4.5. And ph close to 6.3 so just curious whats up before I water with the 4.5 mix.
And thanks everyone for all the help

Well that looks like the sulfur def I was talking about. Your plant needs certain nutrients and since it's been missing food it's doing some strange things. The damaged leaves will die off but you want to stop the progression.

Or if it continues in a few days ?

You need to give it a watering or two before you'll know more. When using MC it should be all you need. So when you see problems, increasing the feed typically helps. Your plants can still take more MC but let's just wait and see how she responds.

Yeah I am just using mc should I add a teaspoon of Epsom salt to the water and does it change ph?

Yes it does!
Check it with your test pen. (do not add more right now)
RO water is more desirable if you're running dwc or 'hydro' because there are dissolved solids in tap water to help keep it stabilized. These can effect those dwc grows drastically and usually not with the best recoverable solutions other than stabilize it and cross your fingers
These solids will also change the PH of your setting tap water, letting the chlorine evaporate changes it further, usually raising it over time. Chlorine also kills the microbes and the biome of the soil that the plant needs.

Your girls look incredible! Also need a side shot pic of total plant so MrS can advise on lollipop or any next steps!

I'm not one for lollipopping tbh. I'm a selective defol type of guy after flower, and I only take the lower branches off that won't make it to the canopy. I usually take care of that a week before flip, with autos I wait until after the stretch is done.
