Dutch Passion AutoMazar - MarsHydro Reflector 96

My first would be flush with ph'd water man but really you need some soil guidance ,every second you wait is costing you weight . I would def start a thread in the infirmary.

I certainly do need soil guidance. Unfortunately the Pro-mix I use has nutrients in it already and I got a little overzealous with the bloom nutes, using full doses instead of 1/4, on top of the nutes already in it. Totally my fault, I guess as a newbie I just gotta make these types of mistakes and keep pushing forward.
I will start an infirmary thread if things don't pick up after this last flush. I really kept pushing water through until it came out as just the tiniest bit off-clear colour, not even yellow any longer, so I'm hoping she pulls through. She seems no worse than last night when I flushed her, and her pistils look healthier than they did.

OK man ,I don't like seeing plants needlessly suffering helps only a quick thread away

I'm not experienced enough to give much help.
I use promix also, and I have had fungus gnats from the peat moss in it, I presume. Fungus gnat larvae feed off roots. I am guessing the "sulfur" smell to be root rot. I have read about using h2o2 to help in healing the roots, but if you are going organic it may not be the best course of action. I wish I could be more help.
I am interested to see what someone with some expertise would say. So, consider this a bump, if nothing else. Good luck, peace

Thanks for the support guys! I don't like seeing her suffer either, poor gal.
Yeatster thanks for the H2O2 suggestion. I had already applied some in a 4:1 solution of water:H2O2 and sprayed the top of the soil. I've done that and added warm water to the soil (which I've read can also kill the gnat larvae). Every time I do something it seems effective for a short amount of time, but then the adults return to lay eggs and the cycle starts all over again. The only pot that has yet to be infested is my Blue Amnesia XXL, but I'm thinking that's because I left the soil in the pot at my outdoor spot for a period of time and some defensive microorganisms landed in it (or I just got the gnat nix down in time before any eggs were layed in the soil, preventing the problem before it began).
I'll keep you guys posted on how she turns out after the flush. Thanks again for the help, you guys are awesome!

Alrighty here's an update on the poor girls. After some digging around I found the likely cause of most of my problems: my soilless mix. The promix premium organic herb and vegetable mix I have them going in has nutrients in it that feeds for up to 3 months. I got this soil with the thought I was going to be doing photoperiod plants with long veg, but then I started reading about Autos and went that direction. Since the Autos grow so quickly, the nutrients in the mix are still present during flowering, and the N in the mix is resulting in clawing, while the P and K levels made it easier for them to burn (which oh wow, did she ever). Anyways, newbie mistakes, live, learn, and move forward.

By the way, the little one in front is my photo chocolate chunk. She's also showing signs of clawing, dark green leaves and burnt tips, indicative of nitrogen toxicity, just like my smaller automazar. I think the larger automazar was clawing and had burnt tips before I gave her the nutes that fried her. I will be a lot more attentive to these symptoms in the future.

Quick picture update I just took of the tops of each plant. The short one is coming along quite nicely, and is starting to smell very pretty. Day 55.

over fertilised plants is one of the more frequent stresses, tending to produce smaller plants. But at least you are getting some buds forming, so you will get some reward for your efforts.

Oh, so sad...
My automazar grow has been without problems. However, I grow in old fashioned mud. They are at day 81 now and another 2-6 weeks to go. Here is the least and most mature plants. https://www.autoflower.org/threads/dr-babniks-botanical-garden-my-afn-news-journal.53450/page-34

@DutchPassionTony can I expect automazar to develop amber trichomes?

@IndicaIVoz I am just now seeing that you tagged my in this thread, I had 457 alerts and messages when I logged back on after being gone for a week so I guess this one slipped through the cracks.

@AutoIndi it seems like you have gotten the issue sorted and I tell you what, DP gear is almost indestructible so you will still get some good buds off of them don't worry about that! If you have any questions don't hesitiate to PM me
