Fridge Grow/Clone Box (with a twist)

Just read this whole thread and I have to say you have done a great job improvising on that fridge build! Also your most recent problem with those leaves looks like a Cal/mag deficiency to me, maybe the generalized golden grow (or whatever that was cant remember exactly haha 
) isnt supplying enough micronutes for that strain/pheno combination.
maybe try adding just a bit of a cal/mag supplement, but be careful if your other 3 plants are happy don't compromise their health to save a few spotted leaves!

Di Freal, thanks for the compliment !
Yea, it's only a couple of leaves like once a week or so.
I guess I could add some cal-mag.
Yea, it's only on one plant.
NO sign anywhere else.
Also, at this stage, I see a lot of others plants getting a little nute burn on the leaves.
Should I up my ratio till I start seeing the tips burn, hence pumping them with more goodies???

No nute burn is the best nute burn. If u see burn they've had too many goodies and ur heading for nutrient 'lock out' if u up your dose. Don't do it.

I agree with Hanky, although its possible to push it up to its limit and get slightly more growth. If you take it a little too far and stress them you will do more damage than good likely, it would be cool to try it if you had a test room with like 10-20 clones to perfect it and then do a full run. But with only 4 plants in a smaller space you will likely be better off just playing it a little safer to make sure everything goes smooth.
you could potentially try a cal mag solution in a spray bottle and then do a psuedo foliar feed directly to the plant stalk on the one thats exhibiting issues. would help with some cal mag uptake (foliar feeding can cause plants to uptake and use more nutes of what they are foliar fed from the reservoir). Idk how well foliar feeding the direct stalk will work, but if your willing to spray that nute mix on some of the lower larf stuff that will be taken off later anyways you will probably see some good results. I would just try to avoid spraying any type of nutes directly on the leaves/budsites you intend to smoke during the flowering process, so maybe cut a hole in a piece of paper, pull a few small larfy tops through and spray so the paper catches the excess..

You can see that there is a tall back row and a tall front row growing into the door area.
In the middle there is a lot of "up & comers".
I re-shaped my reflector shield to a much sharper parabolic curvature and it REALLY concentrates the light right in the "valley"
I bet those little ones I have been directing from beneath to find the light are gonna catch up with the rest.... you watch !

When I sit on my little roll around stool I use for my res work, this is what greets me at eye level when I open the top door.

Are only the tips of the young leaves getting spots? Iron/Manganese lockout/deficiency........ Is the pH rising a bit at any time, maybe when the lights are out? It can drift like this at times in hydro...
Or is it random pattern appearing? Are you foliar spraying something at any time?
Nitro under/over will be in the older leaves 1st.

Any plans of Scrog? Would love to see another attempt in cab grow

Yea, as I was working in the fridge today, defoliating and tying branches down, I could really start to smell the sweet pungent aroma of the buds.
They are forming up nicely now.
I cleaned up all the larf from under.
Nice and clean down there.
I removed a lot of lower fans and ones sitting in the shade, came out with a huge handful.
Then tried my best to spread out the crowded areas and tied a crapload of stuff down/to the side today.
The light is hitting everything but really concentrated in the middle.

If the pics above aren't a scrog... I don't know what is.
It is hard to see because my screen wire is green.
I had a huge roll of it and made the screen from it and now using it to tie everything down/back.
Thanks for stopping by !
