Been flushing for past couple of days trying to get soil back in range.
Spec A is still flowering. She has lost some mass through middle of plant tho, not sure if problem can be fixed so I'm gonna let her ride and hope for the best. She is a very large plant and hasn't really lost much to the outside only in the middle and bottom so far. Seems like the older leaves are the ones being affected the most.
Spec B still looks good. She has yellowing leaves but it could be just lack of light penetration. She is about 10 feet now with a lot of tops. Soil has improved slightly.
Spec C is the healthiest and least affected by far. She is flowering nicely, I see more and more pistols every day. Small budlets should be forming any day now.
Gonna take it easy on the nutes and really give a good flush on water days.

Spec A is still holding on. Hard to tell if affected areas are getting worse. I don't want to pick them off just to try and slow down spread of cannibalism.
Spec B is still good. Healthy. Only branch I see affected is near the back where there maybe very little light due to size of roommates and herself.
Spec C very large and healthy. Starting to see some little buds forming. Hoping she doesn't have much issues like the other 2.
D3F. Watered.
Flushed all 3 with 20 gallons of water with a ph of 7.5.
Spec A is still hanging in there. Hoping flush will help with ph. She still continues to bud.
Spec B is still very healthy. She looks to be losing a branch but it could be due to lack of light.
Spec C is still very healthy and hasn't slowed down at all really. She continues to flower.
Hoping one more good flush will help with rising the ph to acceptable levels.

Light feed at 4ml/g.
Spec A is doing better by the looks of it. Her soil has raised a full +1. Think nutrient buildup was the cause. Will take it easy on the feeding until soil is back in range.
Spec B is very healthy looking, the affected branch seems to be getting better. Spread seems to have slowed. Will take it easy on feed until soil is better. Ph of soil was up +1.
Spec C is very healthy. Her soil has improved also ph +1. She is very big. Will take it easy on feed until soil is better.
Their soils are all sitting around 5.5 to 6. I think my tester is giving false readings, my nutrient ph meter and soil meter don't match. Soil one is off almost -1. I am no longer using ph down. I think thats what made the soil so acidic. Had no issues till I started phing water.
Plan B is a Cotton Candy Kush clone and Plan C is a Spec B Love Potion. All which are clones i took earlier in veg just after the summer solstice.
Even rooted them outside. Never came in the house at all. Lost maybe 3 of the 13 I cut. So that's a win in my books. Wish I would have taken some more off the Cotton Candy Kush bush.
Will try to take some pics of A, B and C's stalks for tm.
D5F. Dry out day.
Spec A is still doing ok. She looks like she's getting hungry. Still hasn't lost any branches so thats a bonus.
Spec B is still very healthy. She looks good except for a few yellowing leaves. Will start the feed schedule at start of next week. Gonna keep flushing her till soil comes up a little bit more.
Spec C has no problems other than being massively oversized and way to big for her support net.
D6F. Watered.
Spec A is doing alright still. Her soil is still a little low on the ph side. But its rising. Hopefully back to feedinf by start of next week.
Spec B still very big and healthy. Soil ph is just about back to normal. Will begin feeding again next week.
Spec C is healthy and beautiful. Soil is normal again will start feed start of next week.

Spec A's soil ph was quite close to back in range. She looked hungry. Still looking good tho. Looks like she will produce some long slender colas. Cola stalks are not quite as thick as B and C. She is still pretty tall with over a dozen colas but she does not have as much mass to her as B and C.
Spec B's soil was back in range again. She looked hungry as some of the big older fan leaves were now yellow. I will leave them on for now to help keep mass of plant up. Once I see more budding on her I will remove any yellow or dying parts. Cola stalks are very big and sturdy. I believe she will produce some fat arm length buds.
Spec C's soil was back on track. She didn't seem to suffer as much as the others. She was the runt of the bunch who gave me problems in the beginning and now she is definitely the most healthy and tallest plant and powered through all that flushing like a champ. Minimal leaf loss. Will remove anything that is dying or not producing after I can see true budlets. Probably by end of next week. She looks like she'll produce some nice arm length buds but I don't think they will be as fat as B's but definitely bigger than A's.
Overall the flush went good soil ph was back in range for B and C (6.6) and a little under for A (6.1). Soil was definitely depleted of the nutrients needed to help such large plants thrive. Hoping to see some good things next week and no more yellowing leaves its too early for that.
P.s. Plan B and Plan C went through the same flush. They also get the same feed. They definitely felt it a little more. But they should be back on track in no time. Minimal loss, a couple leaves started yellowing.
