Coming around the corner into week 4, damn are these ladies looking pretty. Let's get the bad news out of the way first: I definitely missed the FIM on Tiamat. I can't help enjoy the irony. The whole reason it's called FIM-ing was missing a topping, and I missed the miss. Apsu looks like it's developing correctly. Soooo, Tiamat is going to be bent into a spiral, and Apsu is... TBD, we'll see how that develops. Day 22 notes: Really... REALLY glad I added a full dose of Armor SI this week, rather than the planned half dose. First day of this heatwave, both girls were showing mild heat stress, but after that, they perked up and are looking great. Apsu looks like she is gathering herself up into a ball. Little miffed I missed the FIM on Tiamat. Why do I use that phrase? My father used to call it "Pinching" so that's what I'll use from now on, however, no longer relevant. Day 23 notes: Last day of this damned heatwave. Apsu is looking more and more like I got the pinch right, so it'll be cool to have a side-by-side. They are loving the new AC I put in the room with the tent. Day 26 notes: Missed a couple of days. Gave both a healthy dose of LST to flatten them. Apsu is taking some time to push out those colas. Back to daily updates after this. Day 28 notes: Technical difficulties up until now should be solved, so I should be back to every day updates. The plants are officially transitioning to flowering, so the lights are changed. Tomorrow, I will be adding a flowering update.

Long and short of it is that I'm wondering what's going on with these brown spots on Tiamat. The solution pH has been dropping rapidly, even though the PPM has only very slightly raised (250 - 275 over the past 3 days, whereas pH has shot down from 6.2 to 5.8).

deficiency, if only feeding/maintaining 250-275. A lot of tap water comes out at 250-300. A modest feed is still 600-700 + tap and perfectly safe for all stages of plant growth -- more likely if there isn't a cartoon graphic on the label anyway. low on plant, so it is mobile. That's an early leaf, so it may not be neccessary to worry much unless you see it spread. The plant could just be getting rid of it. Since other leaves look healthy, i'd say a K-def if anything, but it shouldn't be impacted by the pH too much. If you've been giving a significantly reduced feed on top of what you see, then that's almost certainly why you see the leaf problems. as far as pH, that's from the constant evaporation. you'll find a happy medium by adjusting up and down. As long as you maintain the same brand feed, you'll likely need just one or the other and a consistent amount per day or week etc if consistent otherwise, but good to have something to raise and lower pH readily available. Vinegar can work as a ph-down, for example. I wouldn't use sodium-bicarbonate, but you could use that to pH-up a time or two and not have any worries at all about the added Na+. Over time it will cause a problem, especially if you re-use the substrate. In a hydro setup, you are 100% responsible for that. In soil the microbes help maintain and buffer any large swings due to what you put in.
