Help. Ready to quit growing

We here I go again. Having the same browning issue as last three grows. This grow is in Kindsoil with FFOF to rule out nute lockout. Have had exact same issue for the last four grows. Have ruled out nute lockout, water PH has been 6.5, temps in high 70's with humidity in upper 40's until flower, then lowered to low 40's upper 30's. The only constant between all these grows are they have been autos (have had no issues with photo grows) and 315 LEC light. All seeds came from same breeder and order so could it be contaminated seeds? Could it be a bad LEC bulb (notice lines in photo)? Have been asking and researching this issue for well over 1 1/2 years and can't find the root problem. About three weeks from harvest and yields have differently been low. Really frustrated and will go back to a photo grow next but if this issue continues I going to sell all my equipment and just go to DC and buy on the street!

Kindsoil has a lot of coco, have you tried any calcium and magnesium? I have used kindsoil for awhile now and some strains need calmag of some sort.
 
In sorry to hear that my old friend. Please consider growing in coco. You will never look back. Who knows what really is in those premixed soils. Fox farms works great to start but it can be frustrating trying to fine tune the nutrient intake. This is my first grow in coco but I can already see the difference. Plants grow faster and better
 
Used plenty, maybe too much cal/mag last grow. That's why I tried kind soil this time. Even though It's advertised as needing no additives, I have added a little cal/mag and Molasses the past week but has not stopped progression.
 
Yeah, pretty frustrated. I did reconnect with an old friend that I haven't seen in quite a while and it turns out he grows too. He uses coco and recommends it too. Between Tika my old friend and now you, maybe I should just take the damn hint!! 🤔 Coco just sounds like it can get complicated and time consuming. And I'm trying to not sink any more money into my setup!! Have spent a ton getting to this point and all in all happy with it. That's what makes this recurring issue so frustration! I was getting better results with CFL's!! Of course they were also photos...
 
I’d say stick with photos. And stay with organic soil but mix it yourself, going with coco and using bottled nutes means you have to trust whom ever is putting together your nutrients line is doing a clean job also your coco where as with your own soil your in control of everything. I’m growing in dwc but going to try living soil maybe No Till not sure yet. I already started my worm bin. For now I will continue with dwc Until I build my own soil then I’ll give that a try. Don’t give up growing specially if your going to buy from someone that you don’t know how they grow the bud.
 
You know what I will say do you not? If not pm me should you wish and I’ll give you my phone #
 
Do not worry about your issues brother, just stop growing autos and try your first photo-period my first 3 grows we’re very similar, all AUTOS!

They are unpredictable and growth is unexpected, try your next grow with a few regs in the same space, veg them out, select your females and you’ll be pleased with the results!
 
I'm hydro so I have no idea, I just wanted to say Hope you find the answer. Would be sad if you quit growing!!!

I sure did notice the stripe in the picture; I'm subbed. Want to know what the problem is. Why don't you also PM Nebula and Sirius and ask about this. This situation warrants it.
 
I'm going to comment here FWIW and suggest to the OP that his 'root' problem may be insufficient lighting during early veg; this may prevent the plants from 'fully' growing, leading to a host of other issues including low yield. The browning could be part of the plant's own 'finishing' process, but also is indicative of some type nutrient issue; this could easily come from the soil.

If you switch to photos you will see higher yields (from bigger plants) but there will be some other issues to deal with, space not the least of them. Indoor grows can easily be overwhelmed by a successful photo plant(s).

I've just switched from photos to autos for a variety of reasons; I hope you can get the above issues sorted out and find an auto strain that performs well for your setup. Good luck!:)
 
Started out growing photos and had no issues for 3 or 4 grows. Switched to autos and have had nothing but issues and small yields. Gonna go back to growing photos to see if that is indeed to issue.
 
Have known Tika a long time and not worried about getting "a piece of her mind" because I know it will be positive and informative! 😁
 
PuravidaC YES COCO/ PERLITE & Photoperiod. I will write you my very opinionated list ( including strains I’ve grown /recommend) of what I use ( for 5 years now) if you will give me your tent size and fans/lights info.
It IS NOT complicated..nothing jazzy about it.
Bite the bullet of change 🤗😘🤗🤓
