Well it is a sad week at the ranch, through a combination of my own errors I ended up loosing one of my Maui Wowie seedlings, that's documented in my other diary i am running, but luckily all 3 Northern lights seedlings survived. The day before I transpalnted the lone Maui Wowie seedling I drenched the top of the promix HP with the following as it had been sat in the tent for 2 weeks and was totally dry. Watered soil for 1st time ever. Each pot got 1L water ph'd to 6 with the following added 1ml Diablo Nutrients Monster Roots 1ml Diablo Nutrients Part A 1ml Diablo Nutrients Part B 1ml Diablo Nutrients Monster Cal

I'm behind updating this week as things got unexpectedly busy. All seems to be progressing well except #2 seems to be lagging behind a little. Diablo Nutrients Sea Monster is added once a week @ 10ml per liter

The Northern Lights are progressing ok. The Northern Lights #1 is looking like a bit of a freak Show at the minute, #2 is developing the slowest but looks the healthiest of the 3 NL's. #3 is looking a little pale I initially thought it may be mute burn so it only got water for a couple if days, but I am not thinking it is nute deficiency and it is back on the regular solution. I have also added Inkbird humidity and temp controllers the temp controller is controlling the heater and ac to keep temps in check. The humidity controller is just attached to my humidifier at present. Nutrient wise day to day watering will be using the solution percentages stated above with once a week normally on Saturday 10ml/l of Diablo's Sea Monster will be added to the solution. Then once a week with water only it will get 1 ml/l of Diablo's Monster Cal normally on a Thursday.

Hey there Northern DC bud, I see you're using NPK and an additive that's the carb liquid, but since you're in Pro Mix HP, actually you also need cal mag. you can tell it's a magnesium deficiency from the discoloration of the serrated edges of the leafs. Pro mix is some kind of potting soil that's not like soil at all actually. With the heavy light schedule the plant needs more Mg to regulate photosynthesis, so you need need to add calmag to the feed. Since you've already run out of cal mag, you might want to go ahead and make a spray right away, whatever the bottle says just in a spray works fine. twice a week the first week then once every ten days before lights on. I see you have a perfect environment so what happens is the leaves open their stomatas up, do this and you'll be golden, the problem should stop spreading right away and the plant will recover in ten days or less. Hope this helps ! 🚀

Things are steadily progressing Plant #1 seems to be growing out of the freak show it started out to be. Plant #2 is still a little slow looking healthy. Plant #3 I am hoping it recovers from its deficiency as suggested by @DasBoof It is getting a twice weekly spray of Diablo's Monster Cal, hopefully this will work as it is looking rather sad and really lagging behind with its development. Some of the other plants are looking pale in the pics but that is just down to the lighting. Plants #1 & #2 have been topped but not #3 I will wait and see if it recovers first. Nutrient wise day to day watering will be using the solution percentages stated above with once a week normally on Saturday 10ml/l of Diablo's Sea Monster will be added to the solution. Then once a week with water only it will get 1 ml/l of Diablo's Monster Cal normally on a Thursday.

Decent progression this week from # 1 & 2, when you look under the canopy of then there is a surprising amount of growth, they both got a little bit of a Defoliation to tidy them up. #3 is still not doing well despite my best efforts, i am starting to wonder if it is down to genetics maybe? After two days plant #2 had matured enough to start some LST, time to open things up a bit. Nutrient wise day to day watering will be using the solution percentages stated above with once a week normally on Saturday 10ml/l of Diablo's Sea Monster will be added to the solution. Then once a week with water only it will get 1 ml/l of Diablo's Monster Cal normally on a Thursday.

Well this is an over due update as i have been to busy to update until now. I will be the first to admit I have made some rookie mistakes with this grow, I got a bit too gung ho over watering and over feeding the girls, which caused lockout to to of the plants #3 being the worst affected, #1 wasn't affected quite so bad. However #2 has done well and is looking great with some LST and a little trimming here and there. #1 & #3 were flushed with tap water PH'D to 6 with #3 being repotted they are recovering but i may end up calling it a day with #3 if there isn't big progress in the next few weeks. Due to the different stages of growth due to my mistakes they will all be getting different feed schedules with #3 getting a very week solution probably about 1/4 strength max.

Finally managed to get the diary up to date. As you can see form the pics the one Northern Lights #2 is doing great #1 of doing ok ish With #3 doing very poorly but this is down to my over watering and over feeding, #1 is recovering somewhat but #3 is struggling to recover and may end up getting the plug pulled on it. Due to the different stages of the 3 plants they are now on all on there own feeding schedules.

So here we are starting the second week of flower for plant #2 sadly I have made the decision to terminate plants #1 & #3 due to my own mistakes of over watering and over feeding them which stunted them and they never recovered. Lessons learned.

@Tropicannibis_Todd, Its not nute burn its either a magnesium or Nitrogen deficiency i think.
