Hello Growers,
I started my first indoor grow and of course I assumed that I will encounter many problems. Now I reached a point where I dont know what to do:
Plant Information:
Type: Autoflower
Strain: Gorilla Punch
Medium: Coco
Fertilizer: BioBizz (Organic)
Problem: So I got 2 plants and I treat them exactly the same. One is doing ok (still not good), but the other one is nearly dying and stopped growing/developing buds. Leaves turning brown and dry and falling off. I thought I overfed them since especially the tips got brown und curled up. So I flushed it for 1 week but lowered the dosage but it didnt get better. Should I still not use fertilizer or just lower the dosage or do I even not see the real issue behind it. And also why is the color of the first plant much lighter than the second? Please help me out! Pictures are attached
Plant 1: Picture 1/2
Plant 2: Picture 3/4

Hi Alex, welcome to the family.
Our beloved @TheMadFlascher just explained where to start and why, in a different topic, when running into issues like these. Take a look…
Start with his advice, come back to us with the EC & pH numbers!

I just noticed that you are using coco. If it dried out it will cause problems, like dry pockets. Several people that use coco can give you great advice. @happilyretired, @PreyBird1, and @sssportsmfg I think use coco.

Honestly, looking at your pictures posted here, I don’t believe you are dealing with a nutrient problem at all.
This looks like a common fungal infection know as Alternaria. It commonly begins in lower leaves and randomly spreads up the plant…search ‘alternaria in cannabis’ on google and you’ll get some good photos to compare.
It IS efficiently controlled with hypochlorous acid. You can search the ‘Hypochlorous acid…deep dive’ here in GN with the magnifying glass at the top of the page…
Long story short… buy this product on Amazon, dilute it 50:50 with DISTILLED water, saturate your plant matter and it will stop it in it’s tracks and save your grow…
