Howdy, So this last week has been about learning, quickly. Plant 2 has been suffering from yellowing, I noticed that at first it was a darker green than plant 1 - (first signs of Mg deficiency I have since learned). As plant 1 was doing so well until a few days ago, I originally assumed that plant 2 was just a bit of a slacker. I think basically it is more susceptible to PH differences than plant 1. First mistake was not knowing about the benefits of PH range... What I did not know earlier in the week is that Mg and Ca are only absorbed efficiently at 6.0 and above, my OCD kicked in and I refused to let the PH wander above 5.7; as from what I have read in forums, 5.7 is the sweet spot. Main lesson from last week is that I'm not going to be so anal about PH levels, I will let the PH rise to 6.3 before I drop it back down to 5.7, this will give the plants and window of time to grab hold of some well deserved CalMag before I drop it back down so it can retrieve some Mn and P if it needs any. My plants told me they were in need of Calcium over a week ago, but I naively thought that maybe I spilled a droplet of water on one of the leaves, and that caused it to burn. As I was adding CalMag+ to the solution when I replenished the reservoir. My second mistake was panicking... After realising above, I bombed the nutrient solution with 35ml of Cal Mag, bringing up the PPMS to 460, this subsequently gave the strongest plant nutrient burn. On top of this, I gave both plants a foliage spray during lights out with some diluted CalMag as well. So anyway, the main thing I have learnt is when the plants are ill, its probably best to take it easy, do a res swap at the very worst and concentrate on my PH levels first before throwing more variables into the fray. Positive notes: Plants 1 & 2 is now working on their 5th node, I know I am technically allowed to top at this point, but I am going to wait until they are working on their 7th before doing anything, this way I will be able to tell if the new growth is looking healthy, and my investigations are correct. I have now installed a Hailea 150a, with a submersible pump, this is now keeping the reservoir at 20ยบc and its keeping the nutrients well mixed, I'll post a video later this week showing the set up. The roots at the top look a little dark, but I have done a sniff test and they don't smell at all, I think it is just where some of the tea has built up where the bubbles meet the air. Roots do seem rather large, maybe they have stretched so far looking for Mg and Ca :P Decided against increasing PPMS, going to do another week, so 5 weeks veg, gives the ladies some time to recover. Trimmed the burns off of leaves mainly so I can keep a track to see if damage is continuing. Anyways, I hope the above makes sense and draws other newbies attention towards PH ranging for hydro; I have posted a pic which shows the PH range for each important element. Thanks! ๐Ÿ˜Š

@Nugget1234 Nice hydro setup mate Those little balls are the developing egg sacks of an unwanted visitor to your grow You will need to remove that leaf and any other effected leaves and treat your plant with some neem oil or other eco type insecticide Also wipe down all of the surfaces Hope this helps mate

Gents/Ladies, Anyone got any ideas with what I should do with the cola that has stunted growth due to the stem being half broken? I managed to top it, just about... Was thinking if it doesn't decide to grow anymore in a weeks time, I could top the one next to it again?

It's looking like its in good shape , I would just consider this an accidental stem split . Not really a big deal because the branch isnt really broken all the way through so it can still get some nutrients and water to the leaves in the mean time while it heals . If you wanna speed up the mending process you can get green plant tape and use of that to hold it back together again and it will be strong then it was before . If how ever you dont chose to aid it in the mend then it will just take a bit more time and then bam ! Back to full strength and then some she will be . Over all your plants looking happy and healthy so there isn't to much to worry about here your plant will recover with or without your help just fine . I hope this helps you on your journey ! Happy Growing !

Is it normal for a mainlined plant to have a few colas stretch so hard? I reckon I only have another 5/6 inches of growth space above the highest cola and am starting to worry. I have swapped out the lights for veg lights today to try and slow it down...

With the good environment + nutrients combo it is not really unusual to see that kind of stretch and if I'm not mistaking your plant looks like a sativa dominant so they are stretching tall. The veg lights contains more blue so it will maybe limit the few inches/ centimeters she have to gain before she fully flip. You can still pinch the higher nodes and bend them a bit to manage the distance.

That's a big yield from one plant! I do think you could have let her mature another week or two still....

@Fruitgrower, definitely chopped way too early, was my first grow at the time, pushed her properly on the second grow ๐Ÿ˜Š

Congrads, looks good! And just a tip, you harvested fairly early. That may what contributed to the "energy" leaning side of the high too. But that week 14 had a TON of thick up right white hairs, and 15, harvest, you can see them in the bud...which is fine, looks like good stuff! but it is also a sign you could have let her mature at least 2 more weeks for a more rafined bud and effects. But pffttt. It is always a prefernce in the end. Looks good! Can't wait! I am suffering a bug attack, hope she pulls through.

@CRiSPrGrow, hey, thanks very much for your message, I have googled a lot and found multiple theories, some say itโ€™s early trichromes, others say the beginning of powdery mildew, others say eggs although eggs should be on the underside of the leaf right? This pic is the top of the leaf ๐Ÿƒ I have just added a video, my scope goes up to 1000 x zoom, these things are like reaaaaaalllly tiny
