So I included some Calcium Carbonate into my coco for some reason. This is raising my runoff pH to 7.0. If I water at 5.5 will this help or is she knackered?

calcium carbonate is the same stuff inside tums. its and antacid. If you keep watering it will deplete its self and your calmg can take over the calcium part of the feed. You could try flushing it but be careful to not drown that seedling. Good Luck!

Finally seems to have recovered from germination. Growth has picked up but requires support to hold herself up 17/02/22 - slightly underwatered. Leaves drooped with the weight of water droplets. Also slightly pale, upped dose to 0.75ml/L

What is she suffering from? Old growth has yellowing of the fan leaves starting at the tips and receding. Newer growth has been slower but has dark green/blue edges of the fan leaves. All parameters listed in diary. Thanks!

your plants are looking pretty good. Normally when its yellow on the tips and edges then tuning brown its a sign it wants more potassium. and when it gets a dark green with blue hue its a sign its over fed with Nitrogen, this tends to be accompanied by tips of the leaves clawing down. The smaller plant in the top right corner could use a bit more K, that's what it looks like to me with out going into it. But be careful if the EC is to high adding more nutrients will not fix the problem just make it worse. growdiaries.com/journal/what-is-electric-conductivity-ec-and-total-dissolved-solids-tds Good Luck!

Fuck. 09/03/22 - still no flowers, just pistols. Broken top is still growing, albeit slower. Done some leaf tucking to expose some more branches. She is a beast, took the decapitation quite well, the taped up top is taking LST non-stop!

Filling out the tent, no room for the other plants in here. Stretch has been going on, very close to light despite LST. I can't believe how big she got despite the tiny pot! 20/03/22 - 1150ppm. pH 5.20. 3ml/L A+B. 0.5ml/L PK 13/14. Some defoliation and mild LST. Culled Blue Dream Auto to allow space.

Plant is too large for tent. Flowering underway and starting to develop frost on leaves. Not much smell. Lower leaves slowly develop brown edges and wilt/drop off. Slow flowering strain it seems.

Drinking quickly. Droops when left over 25 hours. Praying of leaves. Some burning tips, and light burn on tallest buds. Flush and feed today, hopefully correct the dropping of lowest leaves

Lost most of lower fan leaves now. Top fan leaves fading/dieing, and sugar leaves turning purple. Should I begin flushing? I think I have a P/K toxicity issue

Leaf dropping has slowed down. Pistols are slowly turning, approx. 50:50. Trichromes are a mixture of clear and cloudy, with some ambers randomly. Colas are beginning to bend over.
