After re-introducing calmag last week the new growth on the plant seems to be much healthier. Lower growth is still showing symptoms, but its hard to tell if it is newly developed or just left-over from before I addressed the problem - continuing to monitor. New nutrient is: 0.8 tap + 0.3 calmag + 0.1 PK booster + 1.3 base nutrients = 2.5 EC. I know this is a lot higher than typically recommended, but since my tap water is so high I don't have much choice. They've seemed to take it just fine though with plenty of new healthy growth throughout the week (which is filling out the ScrOG nicely) and no signs of nutrient burn - also monitoring this. For better or worse my PH seems to consistently drift downward now (previously it would drift up), so I've been PHing the water a bit over target (~6.0-6.3) and letting it fluctuate.
The stems seem to be bulking up a little bit - especially the main tops which are pretty beastly and hard to restrain with the net. I've added some extra string to give myself more tie downs. Next grow I am definitely going to go for the weaving approach, as I think that will help prevent the net from getting pulled towards the plants as much (right now I'm left with some big gaps in the net between the plants).
From what I have seen in other people's diaries and in my own as well, those tips are looking just normal. Don't be concerned, especially at this point of time in the cycle!
Fuzzy mold on surface is not bad it’s good!! Sign of healthy fungi
I’ve used auto pots had some success but ended up water in the trays and not using system.
Had some disgusting slime in the res.
Any bad smell in the res you’re fucked for root rot. If you use air stone PH will rise with dissolved co2
@MagicBeanStalk,
Yes the white fuzzy stuff is Mycelium, From Trichoderma
The spores are found in most good coco and soil...
Mycelium is a sign that it is healthy colony.
Trichoderma is a beneficial fungus that helps to protect your plants against molds and bacteria. These tough little guys stand up against root rot and grey mold, protecting your plants from being destroyed. They create a barrier that make it impossible for harmful bacteria and pathogens to pass through.

@PharmaZ, mind explaining about the fungus? I thought fungus was a bad thing.
No issues with the res so far as I can tell. No air stone but I do have a water pump in the res to keep the water circulating.
@Mrs_Larimar, luckily he'll basically only need to make sure the pH is in range and nothing catastrophic has happened while I'm gone 6 days, since I have 25 gallons of reservoir hooked up to the autopots.
What can i say, ihavent already said......( scrolling through the postings)
To me an outstanding grow. i whish you just the best fot he remaining days.
Just wonderful
