Think I may have given these gals the wrong amount last nutrient swap. One of them as you can see was very unhappy about it - threw out some grey and clawed a bit D: Then dried out under the LEDs. Gal in the back is a bit lighter.
I may have measured out 3gals of nutrients when I needed 4 - leaving my mixture diluted and causing them to throw up some yellow leaves/tiny bit of calmag spots/general deficiencies.
These gals have also shown some heavey PH swings past .5 (could just as easily be the culprit, no real way for me to tell)
Otherwise looking very good and heading strong into mid-flower / ripen. The buds are still forming just fine on the angry gal and her leaves perked back up- think I got lucky and she'll still finish strong!

@gottagrowsometime, Pushing past 2000ppm just isn't all that necessary in my opinion. Unless you are monitoring and adjusting PH multiple times a *day, I opt for the lazier approach / 1-2 times - being that I manage a household as well :P (I list 1k ppm, but it varies from 1k-2k depending on time and plant).
@Chadmeister, so when you start - pull out a pitcher of the fresh water - use that for your silica, mix your main solution as if you didnt take that pitcher out (youll be readding it with the silica at the end).
@Chadmeister, I don't actually use powders currently but know the routine. You need to mix it separately, at least a few liters / ph / then add to the full mix slowly. As long as theres no remaining cloud or clumps you did well.
