So this last week has been a bit crazy....I installed a new light and I accidently light burned them a little bit. Also, the Afghans are looking like they are Nitrogen deficient. I will show you my PPM's below....I was trying to be safe but apparently I did not feed them enough. I am planning to up the feeding this week on the Afghan's. Because my plants are showing signs of stress, I have decided I will not flip them until they are nice and healthy. I've ordered more soil and plan to transplant them into bigger pots.
Only 5 of my clones have survived in the rockwool. So I will also be taking more clones before I flip them. I moved the new light to 24" above the plant to prevent further light burn.

Gave all plants the following nutrient enriched water with a PH between 6.5-6.68 (depending on the gallon). My PPM was between 600-640 for every gallon.
5 ML Cal Mag
3 ML Grow Big
4 ML Big Bloom

I was planning on only giving water this time, but because my Afghan plants are now showing signs of Nitrogen deficiency, I mixed in 5 ML of liquid Seaweed for the Afghans only:
PH 6.5 and 5 ML of liquid seaweed per 1 gallon of water, PPM came out at about 140 PPM
1 gallon for each Afghan plant
As for the Sour Diesels, I only gave them water, 1 gallon each, with a PH of 6.5
Rearranged the plants. I have both Afghans on the right and left, and both the Sour Diesels in the middle.

Afghan plant #3 is getting too tall, and since I have to continue vegging until my plants heal, I cut about 6 inches off the tops of the plant to lower the height to 50 inches today
Hey! Happy growing my friend! I hope you do well and get some good results! I will come by sometime to see your progress! Keep on growing!
If you ever visit my page please say hello!
Peace & love L.S.T 🌟❤️🔥
@Rodamis_Prime, thanks!! I managed to make more room above between the lights and these huge plants, and hoping I don't run out of room before harvest lol
@sativaman, They were much more sensitive than the other strain since the beginning, but I've learned through this process that the Cal Mag REALLY helped it. I tried everything else and I think that's what it needed this entire time.
Kindly offering my sympathies to you.
Gonna have to flip lights on those huge plants!! They are almost at the highest for this tent! Do you plan to put them out??? Expect 2-3 times stretch after 12-12.
@mariharam, Hey I am a total noob so take this with a grain of salt!
First, I am really sorry to hear about your sister.
I was just in a grow shop yesterday and they sold me some potassium silicate to help strengthen stems and branches during the last few weeks of vegetative and the first few weeks of bloom.
In addition to strengthening the stems, they also referred to it as a "stretch stopper" as the stems tend to get more girthy rather than tall.
The idea being that flowers will only grow to be as big as the stems can support. So if you end up with a shorter stout plant, you should have bigger buds.
@sativaman,Trying to figure that out. I wanted to give em a few days to recover because I just chopped off like over a foot from the tops because they were so big, and I didn't flip them two weeks ago like I had planned because of all that shit happening with the family. Hmmm I do have the closet still which gives me an extra foot I can swap them back into if I have to, but I think I'm going to cut the recover time and just flip them in a day or two.
