FastBuds Variety - First medical grow

Going into week 6, I have a newfound appreciation for just how quickly things can go off the rails. I start this week on the heels of and facing several issues. - Failure to monitor EC and keep the entire medium continuously soaked from the beginning left me with outflow ppms of 2200 during week 5. By the time I had the issue corrected BB suffered possibly irreparable nitrogen toxicity and both her and LSD-25 stretched as result. Excessively high root zone EC allowed for reverse osmosis and water to be drained from the plant and leaves to become dessicated. Coupling this with nitrogen toxicity caused severe canoeing of sugar leaves and fan leaves close to the top. - Failure to train LSD-25 and issues with stretching have caused the plant to reach too close the light and I can no longer raise the light without changing the setup as the light hangers have no additional slack to take up. Gorilla Glue is just starting her stretch and is far away from the surface of the light, leaving her in a less than ideal configuration. On the plus side I have the outflow ppms consistently around 1300 now. Inflow solution is averaging around 600ppm and I will leave it there until things stabilize before moving up gradually. I have increased fertigation to two events per day to maintain low outflow EC. Blackberry is looking quite rough these days and I wonder how much I can expect from her after the shock she endured during week 5. I will, of course, do my best to nurse her back to a more ideal state of health and attempt to salvage whatever harvest I can from her. She still shows the fattest flowers and leaves near the tops are beginning to display a vibrant purple color along with the calyxes. LSD-25 handled the nitrogen toxicity much better but is leggy and stretched as a result. Overall she still looks healthy and I anticipate she will not be affected to adversely by the wild EC swings. I may have to tie her main cola back to keep her from knocking into the light if the PK boost doesn't slow her down. LSD also has deep purple calyxes, more so than BB but no purple on the leaves yet. Gorilla Glue is still short and bushy, a lovely plant. However, her pistil growth is much slower. I am balancing dosing her with light PK and boost to induce more vigorous flowering but also want to get a bit of a stretch out of her to get her closer with the canopies of the other two girls. At this point the ball is entirely in her court and I'm mostly just along for the ride. Nitrogen toxicity did not affect her as much due to her beginning flowering much later. Thanks for reading and following along! More updates to come later this week! CONSOLIDATED WEEKLY UPDATE: - Light moved to hang directly from tent support bars to accommodate LSD-25 who has reached the high end of her possible height range. - Gorilla Glue is now in stretch. - Final height stats for week 6: BB = 96.5cm | GG = 75.5cm | LSD-25= 123cm Outflow TDS currently hovers around 900-1000ppm with inflow around 700ppm for most fertigations. All plants have stabilized with signs of nitrogen toxicity having subsided. Some very obvious damage remains on Blackberry, especially with upper sugar leaves, that she will probably never recover from fully. She certainly won't be the prettiest of the bunch but this isn't a beauty contest, thankfully. To her credit, she still shows decent flower production in spite of her bout with nutrient burn. Remaining plants look to be healthy and fully recovered with no immediate pressing concerns. Sorry for the sparse updates this week. Hope to be more active during week 7.. Cheers!
