11/17 Week 8
Man I will be glad when this grow is over, if making mistakes promotes learning well... Im a fricking PHD ...
Ok progress on Maggie the yellow is limited to the very top as buds are building in particular those a couple inches from the top.
Thinking another root drench is in order, cant hurt and letting her dry a bit as a prep.
Looks like tomorrow
Layla doing ok she exhibits far fewer problems but the same issue are present she is just a hell of plant along with the Runtz which she shares the tent.
Thinking about the feeding tomorrow will decide what to do then.
They have plenty of time to finish up, had some issues on germination on the grow following so looks like it may be delayed a week from the scheduled 2 weeks.
Maggie may need it.

Have stumbled onto to something it seems. The further I move the lights out, they are now at twice the "ideal" placement of 14" at 28" and the yellowing is disappearing to a great extent.
Problem with this of course is not enough light at bud sites not on the canopy which lets face it is most of your bud.
It is absolutely something that makes the plants insanely susceptible to light burn. New one for me but maybe some of yall know so making a question of it. Pics at lights out only and I missed today so new pics later if I get back in time.
Update :
Defoliated and tightened training on all three to spread things out from the center and open up the light and air paths. Raising the lights is working just wish I knew why as lights are higher than crap with little room for more than a few more inches. Would drop the watts to 450 but need the heat to keep the grow room level as our temps here swing 40 degrees all the time. Something I learned with the help of a carbon filter. If things normalize will begin dropping lights to see what happens.

Setting the lights at 24" as I am not risking yield any further than that on Layla and the Runtz, Have the canopy as level as it can be with Brandy getting the least light being on a coco coir block (heh) for height, which she is responding well to since I opened up the plant and no longer worried over mold issues in that main bud.
Have Layla on a milk crate to bring her into decent light as well as the Runtz. She is just a lovely thing building those white crystalline buds.
Maggie has turned into a beast at least I know her root ball is huge from the growth above. Seriously defoliated her removing several small lower branches and leaves blocking light and air paths. Next feed will be continuing what seems to be working, Epsom salt and bloom nuets (no calmag with epsom salt) with a foliar feed after lights out which may well be with calmag.
Foliar feeding today at lights out, one quart sprayer with 1ml CaliMagic and 0.5ml wetting agent un-PH warmed to 75 F before spraying (our tap water comes out at @50F so...), just trying to hit hard and effective
* New Pics after foliar
Update
Folks its taken 8 weeks and a final piece of the puzzle provided by Grey_wolf resulted in a near full strength cal-mag foliar feeding and the last def bites the dust.
See what happens from here but its the first time I have felt good about this grow since the bad time germing at week one. *big sigh of relief*
Have a whole list of things I will never do again in soil more about that at harvest.
Right now I need to work on why calcium is blocked at the roots but thats another day right now I just wanna look at em. 😁
11/22 Another foliar feed same as before just diluted 30% and all three got it today JIC
Cannot find a pale leaf or top and hairs are standing up on the top buds for once and buds building nice on the lower ares the defs were cleared up first.
Going to stop the foliars for a few days see what happens but will resume at first sign of need.
Maggie has potential even after all this and we going to help her be all she can :D
11/22 Feeding day -
Bio-Bloom 7ml - calmag 4ml - Recharge .5tsp / gal at 6.5PH to all three. No foliar today

The thickness of the hair growth on Layla is amazing! Will try and get pics at lights out of it if my crappy camera will catch it.
Never seen anything like it, once again THIS this is what we intended by growing Stardawg :)
Update:
Pics and vid hope it comes through well enough as for the green in that tent and the dense hairs on Layla
