Does what you are feeding contain mg? That looks like a magnesium deficiency to me ---

Looks like it to me too. Also, I see you’re growing in coco? Then you need to pay special attention to Mg and Cal intake. Coco partially absorbs these substances, thus depriving the plant of their availability. ✌🏼 Welcome ---

Welcome, I agree that CalMag is missing; especially with coco coir, attention should be paid to this. ---

Light cycle of 24h? so your plants never get some rest. You should check your DLI, you’re likely giving too much. but yes, this looks like CalMag deficiency. ---

The 24 hour light schedule stood out to me to. Unless it’s an auto then I can understand. ---

Give that baby some cal mag and about 6 hours of sleep every night and she will take off ---

Exactly! Our babies deserve some rest, including autos! ---

24/0 is often practiced with Autos, but it leads to stress and makes them more susceptible to diseases. In my opinion, 20/4 is the maximum you should subject them to. ---

It looks specifically like a mag deficiency, some epsom salts would be a better fix than cal-mag. Calcium is definitely needed in coco but too much will mess with the uptake of magnesium which can make this problem worse or could be a cause of it to begin with
