Guys please help again :(

Im using fox farms trio. But I only use a tsp per gallon when I do it. And thats like ones every 5 feeds if it needs it towards the end. I do have a tds meter. I just havent been goofing with it. Maybe I should start.

So if my ppm is high, do I just add water to dilute then test it again?
 
Holding off on any comments cause they might be used against me.
 
Everyone is pointing in the right direction. What you are seeing is the culmination of over feeding/nutrient build up. Once a plant is in flower there is very little you can do, even less when it's an auto. You should be trying to just get to harvest at this point. Growing cannabis is not like building a bird house or bread box. There are no set of instructions that you can follow to get a guaranteed outcome. 1000ppms every day is way too much. Autos can generally handle about 5-700 before they start showing issues. You can check the ppms of your run off and try to get them back in range.. But this late in the game your best bet would be to use plain water until harvest. I wouldn't risk the shock of a flush this late.

But I grow in coco . Said can’t give plain water. What if I start feeding half ppm . 500 ? Or even less ?

Who said that? The same person that said to feed with 1000 ppms? That's the silliest thing I've ever heard..

In these same forum. I don’t ducking understand. I’m doing my first grow . I don’t go advising people as I don’t know tut much. Who the fuck are these idiots who respond with bullshit. I been told many times in these forums don’t give plain water to coco. Use 1000-1100 ppm in flower. That’s why I been doing. Stupid people should not be allowed to comment .
 
Moderator, time to step in @420Forever ? "passive aggressive", "idiots", "bullshit", "stupid" etc. Methinks the attitude here needs adjustment or removal.

Keep in mind that there are some people whose knowledge comes from anonymous message boards only. Some peoples' knowledge comes from education in horticulture. Others have learned through direct experience growing cannabis over many years, and others are just totally Looney Tunes and have no idea what they're doing.

The best way to use these forums is to ingest ALL those experiences, then seek external validation from other, mainstream horticultural science.

For example, probably 60-80% of the membership here adds supplemental calcium and magnesium to their regimen, but when you go seek out plant science for why that should be, you won't find any good answers at all. The reality is that nutrient manufacturers have been pushing expensive branded products for a long time because as a black market drug crop, the budgets of clandestine gardeners are unusually high.

Go to a nursery and try to buy a bottle of "calmag." If you even said that word out loud they'd probably either snicker or simply stare at you confused.

I'm just using calmag as one example, in your case the problem is that you've somehow been misled into thinking that 1k PPM is acceptable for autoflowering cannabis. Whoever said that just simply doesn't have knowledge worth applying. It doesn't mean they're malicious, just confused.

That said, if you are frustrated now with the learning and development process as a novice gardener, you will likely only become more so in the future if you can't manage to do a bit more research and a bit more planning.

ALL of the successful first grows I've seen on this forum start with,"Here's my plan, what do you guys think?" That doesn't guarantee success, but it avoids catastrophic mistakes like the one you're now making...

It's up to us to know the difference. That means doing the research.. Learning about coco and how it works.. And that's not done on forums. If it doesn't make sense, its probably not the right answer. Most people that say that are saying it because coco is inherent and doesn't have any nutrients in it.. But neither does pro mix and many others.. Also, the wiser people saying this, are saying it while using low dosage/ppm feeding every day. Which is normal for coco or soil or any other method. The people who take that comment out of context, use full strength feeding every day. If you do that, and are not watering to a good amount of run off, you'll get nutrient/salt build up in the bottom of the pot.
Unless you are running a straight up hydro grow, then you will need plain water at some point. Most quotes of ppms in the 1000's are for photoperiods that are vegged for months in large pots, then flowered for 2 months. And even then that's high.. Autos in 3-5 gallon pots that only live 90 days, do not need or want 1000 ppms.. Yes, there is a lot of misinformation out there.. But it's up to us to filter out the bad info, just like in life.. Read science research reports, University studies on growing in coco, agriculture articles etc.. Don't rely on random people in random forums that are just as new at growing as you are. You know where I spent my first two years on this forum? Hanging out in the infirmary.. Before I had even grown an auto, I wanted to know the mistakes/issues first, and how to resolve them. Coco is a complex medium that I wouldn't recommend to new growers unless they have a hydro background.
