Another week in the books. It's starting to really smell now, piercing and lingering in your nostrils. So much for the bubblegum, its straight gas now. I ended up defoliating some top fan leaves on all 4 to expose bud sites. And to get some airflow. I've never dipped below 65% RH even with the lights on and no standing water, so worried about mold/rot. I have a 6" oscillating fan that I swap tent posts every night to get different directions of airflow on top of the canopy. And a fixed 6" fan pointed perpendicular to the 6" inline fan intake for the bottom. And my intake and exhaust are already at max and about 50 RH at the intake. I stopped adding Silica, and halved the Cal-Mag. Stopped PK, and started reducing A+B while keeping the Boost and Cannazym the same. Sweet Cream and SNS #1 will get a 50% diluted solution of this new nute schedule, and will start flushing next week. SNS #2 and #3 are starting to bulk up now and some pistils are starting to turn orange. They both look a lot frostier than SNS#1. I'm guessing another 2 weeks for these than a final flush. Sweet Cream is getting really bulky, more so than the SNS's however unless magnified you'd be hard pressed to make out trichomes. Still cant make out a smell because the others are overpowering

@Philindicus, Hey thanks for the tip. After the flush it seemed to have worked itself out. I think the camera makes it look a little worse off than it really is. Up until around that point I had been keeping religious tabs on the run off and never was +200 of what I poured in. It may have been the temp of the water. As it changes with ambient and I mix enough for 2 days worth of watering and didn't really check that often on the second day to make sure it was still in range. I can't imagine it would change that much really, I'm using RO water and generally wait about 30m for the silica to dissolve.

This is incredible work! I am also blown away that this was your first attempt at any kind of garden. one question: were you using RO/distilled water? I'm shocked you were able to use the Canna nutrients at the label recommended strength for these autos without any burning, etc... Again, truly incredible work. I'll be watching your future grows with keen interest!

@samadhi, Hey thanks. Definitely surprised myself with how relatively pain free this process has been. Should have really started a lot sooner haha. Just did a lot of reading and research to get a general idea of what I was doing. But thankfully the process is documented pretty well with forums / youtube / discord. I definitely used RO water, simply because I wanted to eliminate variables as much as I could for my first grow. My tap is pretty decent at 200ppm, so I may change it up next grow using Jacks 321 to hopefully keep costs down. Because as far as I can tell, nutes are nutes. And I'm not skilled enough to chase that extra % of perfection. As far as the feeding schedule, I followed Canna website recommendations for a "light" feeding schedule adjusted for PPM per their calculator. And with this I rounded down when it was convenient for me. i.e. 32 ML of A and B per 4 gallons. I just used 30ML because it was easier to measure. Granted I'm a bit lazy. I really only started watering 2x a day these last 2 weeks. For most of their life, I just watered till run off once a day. About 1 - 1.5 gallons per 2 plants. Thanks again!
